How to Bring Smart Tech to Small Business
Smart homes might be getting a lot of attention these days, but much
less is being written about how equally smart technologies can be
applied to small commercial businesses. Larger businesses have long had
building automation systems to help monitor and control heating,
cooling, lighting and other equipment, but that approach can be overkill
for neighborhood restaurants, hair salons and other small-scale
operations.

Control Options Growing for Today’s Small Businesses
For small business owners, all the details matter. Whether it’s a neighborhood restaurant, a family-owned convenience store or a local art gallery, tight margins can leave little room for error when it comes to refrigeration temperatures, HVAC equipment operation – and even lights left on when they shouldn’t be.

The great American architect Louis Sullivan was famous for coining the
phrase “form follows function,” a maxim that defined many of his own
buildings. Essentially, he meant that the shape of an object (or
building) should be based on the function it’s intended to serve.

Cable Management For Fun and Profit – Part 2
In the previous article, we talked a bit about low-voltage cable
management. And while I enjoy talking about and using those types of
products, my heart remains in a more commercial and industrial setting.
For
over 30 years, I've worked in that environment. And cabling and cable
management has been a large part of my work background.

Smart Panelboards – Making Smart Homes Even Smarter
I'm not a spring chicken by any stretch of the imagination. But I'm not
technology challenged, either. Fired up my first computer in the '80s,
and I've had a love affair with tech ever since. Don't tell my wife,
okay?
Seriously though, I do like my tech and use it to make life
easier for me. I have high-speed internet in the 1 gigabyte range,
flying over fiber optics supplied by my electric company.
