Promoting effective electronic safety plays a crucial role in safeguarding electronic devices, reducing maintenance and repair costs, and safeguarding users.

FREMONT, CA – The surge in digitalization has led to people spending more and more time on their digital devices and gadgets. The electronic devices such as televisions, smartphones, computers, and such have opened the door to a world of information. However, these devices are prone to damage. Often, the repair process is expensive, and the damage might be severe enough to result in loss of data.

To promote electronic device safety, several manufacturers are developing effective solutions designed to safeguard gadgets from risk factors such as electric surges. For instance, smart surge protectors enable users to schedule the running time for devices to prevent wastage of energy. Also, incorporating USB ports in the power strips will allow users to connect their phone chargers and free up charging ports for other devices.

The smart surge protectors can be integrated with the Internet of things (IoT) devices, which will enable users to disconnect power supply whenever required through smartphone apps, Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, and Cortana. Also, most smart surge protectors are integrated with LED lights which can alert users regarding electrical problems, including short circuits, faulty wiring, and surges.

The utilization of connected surge protection products and electrical strips will enable users to increase their energy savings. The scheduling will allow users to set suitable time to charge their devices based on power consumption. Often, devices such as televisions and computers continue to draw power even when switched off. However, the use of smart surge protectors can cut off the power supply via the connected devices at the convenience of the user. Also, scheduling time for individual outlets will enable faster recharge time for charging devices, thus saving energy and cost.

Electronic devices such as television, music systems, and computers need to be kept away from moisture, direct sunlight, electromagnetic radiation, and unstable conditions. Regular maintenance from experienced technicians is advisable to keep the devices in perfect working conditions. Also, the electronic devices have to be switched off when not in use to prevent overheating.
