How Synchronized Time Can Improve Efficiency Within Your Business

synchronized time

Did you know that the U.S. economy loses an estimated $7.4 billion per day due to improperly filled out timesheets? This costly mistake can cause stress in your human resources department, and cause your employees to receive their paychecks late. Thankfully, implementing synchronized time in your faculties or business can prevent this from happening. Check out these quick facts about how synchronized clock systems can improve the efficiency and communication within your business.

What Is Synchronized Time?

Synchronized team means systematically setting all your clocks to the exact same time, and ensuring they count time at exactly the same rate. Analog clocks can be set at the same time, but they will each count the seconds at slightly different rates. This is a phenomenon known as clock drift.

How Does Synchronized Time Improve Efficiency?

Synchronized clocks provide a consistent standard across your facility. Time is a valuable commodity your business can’t afford to lose, especially if it is caused by mismatched clockwork. Keeping all of your employees on the same time eliminates confusion, and promotes responsibilities being completed on time. Synchronized clocks can also automatically adjust for daylight savings time, and set back to the correct time after a power failure.

How Does It Work?

Synchronized time begins when a master clock is set and continues to keep the same time using a GPS time source or an NTP clock source. The master clock then communicates with all secondary clocks in your facility to ensure clock drift does not happen. If the power does go out, the NTP or GPS system will adjust the master clock when the power returns, which will immediately communicate with the secondary clocks to adjust the time.

What Kind of Clock Options Are There?

Every business manager knows that place and space has a huge influence on workers. Your secondary clocks can come in a variety of options and styles to match the aesthetic and setup of your facility. These can include:

WI-FI digital Wall Clocks: A wireless clock that can come in a variety of colors. This clock is perfect for modern spaces or in buildings that need to minimize the amount of exposed wires.

POE Digital Clocks: Power over Ethernet (POE) clocks don’t need to use batteries, as they draw their power from your Ethernet connection. These clocks require little maintenance, and are easily controlled or adjusted.

GPS Digital Clocks: A global positioning system (GPS) is used to keep all clocks on Earth running on the same time. This type of clock system is perfect for keeping multiple business locations running on the same time, even if they are in different time zones.

Final Thoughts

Synchronized time keeps your business running exactly on schedule. It can prevent miscommunication, and even synchronize clocks across multiple facility locations. With a variety of clock options to choose from, it has never been easier or more convenient to maintain a synchronized network. Contact Time Machines Corp. for more information.
