Industrial Innovations On a Smaller Scale - Everyday Items Your Business Uses

Without realising it, you and your employees rely on simple but effective inventions to get you through the week. Here are some of the most common everyday items your business relies on to help it succeed:

Wheels and Castors

Perhaps you work in the health care industry and a part of your job is to wheel patients from one room to the next. On the other hand, you could be the owner of a large marketing firm.
In this case, all you have to do is take a look around the office and count all of the swivel chairs. It’ll probably take more time than you thought! The only reason why those chairs are able to manoeuvre so effortlessly is thanks to high quality castors. Tente UK offers a wide selection of wheels and castors to businesses all over the world!

Staplers and Hole Punchers

Where would we be if we couldn’t staple the notes of our upcoming presentation together, or use a simple hole punch to help us file our hard copies? Small innovations such as the stapler and hole puncher are items that many businesses use on a daily basis. Most of the time, we barely ever notice their importance in our everyday lives, but you can bet that almost every desk in the UK will be home to one or the other (if not both).

LED Light Bulbs

One of the first things you'll do when you unlock the door and enter the premises is to switch on the light. LED light bulbs, despite being quite a bit more expensive than incandescent bulbs, prove to be the better investment. According to Business Insider, the traditional LED light bulb can last up to 25,000 hours. When you take time to compare them, you will find that LED bulbs only use a sixth of the electricity consumed by incandescent bulbs.

Keyboard and Mouse

Most modern businesses use computer technology at some stage during the day. It is used to produce content, surf the web, email clients and send out invoices, etc. However, it can be incredibly easy to overlook two key components of a PC. If you have ever worked in a busy office, then you will be more than familiar with the clicking sound of fingertips hitting the keyboard all day, every day.

The mouse is also a common innovative object that most people will be familiar with. It was invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1964. Back then, the mouse consisted of a circuit board, a wooden shell and two metal wheels. It wasn’t until 1972 that the design was taken to the next level and thus, the “Ball Mouse” came into existence.
