But many do not know about the existence of a variety of new products or do not know how to adapt them for their business. Next, we will look at several popular gadget groups that will help make your business more efficient.
Wearable gadgets
This is an extensive category of gadgets that a person always carries with him: smart watches, bracelets, glasses and other smart home devices. A number of large companies have already equipped their employees with such devices, which has increased productivity. For example, AGCO smart watches in the hands of employees helped to reduce the time of checking the quality of products by one third, reduce production time by 25% and reduce the time spent on employee training by 300%. Ford using the same wearable gadgets managed to reduce the number of manufacturing errors and increase the speed of checking cars. Such successes are due to the ability of smart devices to provide the necessary information exactly when it is needed, without having to attend classes, have a good smartphone or try to find information on the World Wide Web with its help.
While good gadgets are expensive, investing in them pays off. With their help, you can monitor the health status and movement of employees, the condition of the premises, which is especially important for hazardous industries. The wearable device itself will help employees quickly read the instructions or get advice on work, instead of looking for thick manuals on the shelves and flipping them for hours. With its help, the employee will document the course of the workflow as soon as possible by taking a photo and the necessary notes with a simple click of a button. Thanks to this approach, the number of industrial injuries, defects in manufactured products is significantly reduced and productivity is increased.

First-class Broadcast Gadget
Today the fashion for webinars has reached such a peak that many businesses invest heavily in their conduct. Although in recent years, the eternal problem of the room freezing, loss of sound and pictures was partially solved, the quality of broadcasting leaves much to be desired. Useful gadgets like the Livestream Broadcaster Pro handheld device can help you cope with this difficulty.
According to the manufacturer, during broadcasting it will provide signal and encoding quality comparable to the quality of world TV channels. In addition, you can broadcast directly from the camcorder without having a computer at hand. It’s worth attaching the device to the camcorder, how can you encode a 1080p stream with a bit rate of 5 Mbps in the original resolution. This will allow the viewer to watch videos in excellent Full HD quality. The HDMI input provides for working with 480p, 576p, 720p or 1080i formats. Broadcasting itself is possible through a standard 10 / 100Mb Ethernet network, Wi-Fi or via a 3G / 4G USB modem. Since the device has an input for audio stream, you can capture an additional source along with built-in HDMI.
Smartphone for business
The main gadget of a modern person, without which it is already difficult to solve many problems, is rightfully considered a smartphone or iPhone. But an entrepreneur will not do anyhow any device when it comes to big money and high productivity. The smartphone of a businessman should, first of all, ensure the security of all transactions and funds, be productive, multifunctional and look stylish. Many people lose large sums only because they did not take care of protecting their data on time or did not pay attention to the performance of the device when it was purchased.
For example, the Samsung lineup uses technologies to recognize the owner by his face, fingerprints or aperture. For special protection, this company uses KNOX utilities, which will protect personal data from theft during network hacks, device infection with spyware, and even when the smartphone itself is stolen. And the Apple developer uses a special Boot ROM chip with a key stored in the company itself, which prevents an attacker from invading the iPhone system. Other Apple protections include iPhone search, two-factor authentication, erasing data if the password is entered incorrectly (with the option of restoring from a backup), and others. However, manufacturers regret that many people do not use all the security features until they lose their data or the device itself.

Buy a miniature printer for printing photographs of labor is not difficult: this product is widely represented on the market and has an affordable price. But the entrepreneur does not fit the 10 x 15 format, because he often needs to print standard A4 documents. Here, a special mobile printer will come to the rescue – long, but light and compact. For example, the small Brother PocketJet PJ-773 model weighs only half a kilogram and has dimensions of 25.5 cm x 5.5 cm x 3 cm. True, you will have to pay a lot for the miniature size. In particular, this model is ten times higher than the price of an ordinary mobile photo printer. You can find cheaper printers, but already more weight and dimensions. Such models are perfect for those who drive, since here in the first place there will be not dimensions, but the ability to work on battery power.
