09.01.2022 Bursting Flexi Hoses are one of the main causes of damage in homes. According to CANSTAR In the past year alone, about 30,000 water damage claims worth $320 million were made in Australia due to flexible braided hoses bursting or leaking in kitchens and bathrooms. Having a plumber inspect and replace hoses is the best way to prevent this, but it doesn’t stop it from happening. Our wireless flood sensor can detect a leak before it causes extensive damage. The sensor will send you a notification on your phone wherever you are. In conjunction with this you can install a water mains shut off valve to turn your mains off automatically or remotely to prevent further damage.

06.01.2022 Will things ever go back to normal to the pre-COVID-19 days? In the short term most likely not, and companies will probably need to conduct business in a different way. There is a likelihood that businesses will rely more on advanced video collaboration tools to minimise unnecessary travel and crowded spaces. Companies will also rely more on Huddle Rooms and small to medium conference rooms. These meeting spaces need to be able to connect remote workers very quickly and easily. During these transition days, while offices are still less crowded, it is the perfect time to upgrade meeting spaces with collaboration tools. Enabling everyone to connect with colleagues and customers no matter where they are.
