Chargifi currently provides connected wireless phone charging to companies with large office complexes and hospitality businesses. Our products allow a charging point to be a hub by which someone connects to their space -- whether to verify identity and check into a room or a hot desk, to turn on a video conferencing system, connect to a secure VPN or intranet or to customise a space, for instance to make sure that a physical disability can be managed.In response to COVID-19 and the rapid switch to working from home, Chargifi is adapting its technology to create the "Home Office" which will support our customers to add remote workers easily to their network, while creating a product for businesses to better facilitate connecting remote workers through data to understand better how to support their changing device.Working from home, or remote locations, is expected to continue. The May 2020 "COVID-19 remote working survey" by Eskenzi PR reported that 91% of the UK population are willing to continue to work from home once the pandemic is over.By extending Chargifi's connected wireless charging proposition to home users through this project, our customers will gain a clear understanding of where people are, as they use their phone to login to work.Our wireless charging product will support:* Remote/home working by users, tracking time "at work" by logging hours. Useful for employer-employee relationships, as well as for allowing reimbursement and reclaim of a fair share of workers costs.* Further specific security requirements by allowing a connected wirelessly charging device (the phone) to act as a third-factor authentication.The Home Office will produce a rich data set that can aid in:* Providing employers with detailed information of how and when their staff are working from home. Over time, this will allow businesses to optimise their office space to suit their teams' needs.* Provide the government with a dynamic database to show how where workers are spending their time allowing resources to be allocated to where people actually are (impacting plans for public transit, etc).* Understanding and predicting people's locations during the day, potentially impacting electricity load usage and forecasting.* By provisioning decision information that allows both public and private resources to be allocated more optimally, over time this should help the country achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050\.

Chargifi目前为拥有大型写字楼和酒店业务的公司提供联网无线电话充电。我们的产品允许充电点成为一个枢纽，人们可以通过它连接到他们的空间--无论是验证身份、登记房间或办公桌、打开视频会议系统、连接到安全的虚拟专用网或内部网，还是定制空间，例如确保可以管理身体残疾。为了应对新冠肺炎和快速转向在家工作的趋势，Chargifi正在调整其技术来创建“家庭办公室”，这将支持我们的客户轻松地将远程员工添加到他们的网络中。虽然为企业创造了一种产品，以更好地通过数据连接远程员工，以更好地了解如何支持他们不断变化的设备。预计在家或远程地点工作将继续下去。埃斯肯齐公关公司2020年5月的“新冠肺炎远程工作调查”报告称，疫情结束后，91%的英国人愿意继续在家工作。通过该项目将Chargifi的联网无线充电主张扩展到家庭用户，我们的客户将在他们使用手机登录工作时清楚地了解人们在哪里。我们的无线充电产品将支持：*用户远程/在家工作，通过记录时间来跟踪“工作”时间。对雇主和雇员的关系以及允许补偿和回收公平分担的工人成本很有用。*通过允许连接的无线充电设备(电话)作为第三因素身份验证，进一步满足特定的安全要求。内政部将产生一个丰富的数据集，可以帮助：*向雇主提供他们的员工如何以及何时在家工作的详细信息。随着时间的推移，这将使企业能够优化办公空间，以满足其团队的需求。*为政府提供一个动态数据库，以显示员工如何将他们的时间花在哪里，以便将资源分配到人们实际所在的位置(影响公共交通计划等)。*了解和预测人们在一天中的位置，潜在地影响电力负荷使用和预测。*通过提供决策信息，使公共和私人资源得到更优化的分配，随着时间的推移，这将帮助国家实现到2050年实现碳中和的目标。
