3 eye-opening Digital Workflows that re-define daily
business routines
To underline the benefits of digital workflows, the following examples give you an impression of
what is possible and how deeply software-supported workflows can change and optimize your daily
business routines.
1. Digital battery management: How to check battery status
Without digital workflows and centralized monitoring of devices in the network, the process for
checking the battery status is time-consuming and tiring. You or your staff need to personally visit
every location equipped with portable devices such as wireless microphones. In a campus-style
setup, this can mean many lecture halls, typically equipped with several devices each. The first
thing is finding the microphone, as it is often not kept where it is supposed to be. For microphones
that are not equipped with rechargeable batteries, primary cells have to be swapped prior to every
usage. Depending on battery runtime and operational schedules, this could happen even two times
a day – for every lecture room.
The digital workflows for battery checking do not only save time but also offer multiple new ways to
manage many devices with ease. As network-enabled microphones such as evolution wireless G4
and SpeechLine Digital Wireless can be centrally monitored, you can check the respective battery
status from a central management tool like the Sennheiser Control Cockpit. Its global device dash-
board already provides an overview of your entire campus device fleet and lets you see the battery
lifetime of all wireless microphones that are in use. By using the network-enabled charging stations,
you can also see the time-to-full charging time. This allows for full 360° monitoring coverage.
Other than the analog workflow of going to every location, the Sennheiser Control Cockpit’s sort
and filter functions allow identifying mission critical battery states in seconds with two clicks. You
can easily identify the very portables that need a recharge together with their location. So you save
time by only visiting the respective locations or by delegating within your team because you know
which of your colleagues is nearby anyway or could cope the task along the way.
You can even subscribe for battery status notifications sent out via email or SMS. As soon as a bat-
tery enters a critical state of an hour of runtime left, an alert can be sent out. It will also be stored in
a message list of events, notifications and alerts. This allows for evaluating your internal processes
and user behavior. Maybe it is only this microphone in that one location running empty every Wed-
nesday…
