18 WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS September/October 2020 BLUE SEPTEMBER Get your team into Pedal4Prostate If you haven’t been personally affected by prostate cancer you’re bound to know someone who has, so it’s time for you and a few workmates to saddle up and put your pedal to the metal for the fun and adrenalin-filled Pedal4Prostate, Hampton Downs Motorsport Park, Sunday 8 November. In this time of uncertainty and the disappointing cancellation of many sporting events, including other cycling challenges, the relaxing of Covid-19 restrictions has ensured this popular four-hour endurance event, Pedal4Prostate, remains firmly fixed in the cycling calendar. This event is not just for the recreational cyclist but also for the enthusiast seeking time trial and training opportunities. For workmates, seeking a team-building day or just a fun day out on the track, or those wanting to beat a personal challenge or pitch themselves against friends and whānau, Pedal4Prostate offers something for everyone wrapped up in a fun-filled and action-packed day. Not to mention a rare opportunity to tackle an international motor racing track, with no cars. The serious side to Pedal- 4Prostate is that it serves as a key fundraiser for the Prostate Cancer Foundation Continued on page 20 505 Grey Street Office space for Lease High profile city fringe modern office building on Bridge St corner site over 3 levels Ground floor Office: 278m2 at $55.6k rent pa + opex 1st floor Office: 290m2 at $58k rent pa + opex Basement Carparking: 9 parks + 3 on site at $35 pw Ring your local agent or owner on 0274742326 Supporting Blue September
BLUE SEPTEMBER WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS September/October 2020 19 The Smart Home Revolution The start of the computer revolution was back in the 1950s where big and bulky mainframe computers took up a whole room and had to be programmed with a punch card. They were used to automate Accounts and Payrolls. Then by the 1980s to 2000 the second revolution started when we began to have desktop computers in the office, and then came the home PC. The third revolution was the mobile one which reduced them in size to be able to fit in our pockets, so we could take them anywhere and use them on the go. Now the next shift has started and in our homes, smart assistants like Google Home or Amazon Echo are steadily colonising our personal spaces, along with home automation for smart lighting and security systems. There were over 640 million of these units sold last year and the market will be doing twice that by 2023. By that time we can expect something like a 50 percent growth in sales of wearable devices like smart clothing and fitness trackers – a huge market that Apple is looking to – where it will be approaching 300 mil-lion units a year. As for the workplace AI is starting to take hold where it is transforming factories and production lines. Sometimes referred to as the fourth revolution or industry 4, this sector is forecast to double to over 150 billion by 2023 and over a trillion dollars by the early 2030s. Tech companies will increasingly seek to improve our lives with this explosion of smart devices that will be crunching the sensor data from all this hard-ware, as well as all the activities that we do on our smart phones. There are also plenty of startups staking out their territory in this new frontier. When it comes to your home it is important to know what you want and when you “don’t know what you don’t know” the best thing is to talk to a company that is experienced in security systems before you build and not settle for a one size fits all approach that some builders and electricians install as a part of a package. Your Security System is a personal thing and needs to be researched correctly to make sure you know what you want and how you are going to use it - because it’s no good having one installed if it’s too hard to use, that would just be a waste of money. Smartway Security and Technology have been installing CCTV for over 19 years and Monitored Security Alarms for longer than that. Why don’t you give them a call and let them help you to understand how you can protect what is important to you. Remember “Experience the Difference because the Difference is Experience.
