Digital Catapult requested a smart office solution for employee use and showcase purposes in their Future Networks Lab. The focus areas specified by Digital Catapult were desk and meeting room utilisation and air quality monitoring.
Brief:
Digital Catapult needed a quicker way of checking whether hot desks or meeting rooms were available. There are a number of flexible desks, private booths and meeting rooms for multiple occupancy in the office on Euston Road, London.
Solution:
Our approved system integrator installed a smart office solution enabling employees to check individual and multiple desk and meeting room availability, along with the temperature and CO2 levels in different areas of the office.
Solution Included:
- MobiusFlow IoT Edge Gateway
- Dashboard, allowing employees to make an informed desk choice based on a number of factors
- Desk occupancy sensors to show which desks are available
- Door and window magnetic contact sensors to show which doors and windows are open/closed
- Presence detection sensors for meeting rooms and communal areas
- A combination of Temperature and Humidity sensors and Air Quality (Temperature, Humidity, CO2 and VOC) sensors which will push alerts to the building and office managers informing them when levels are too high, and action needs to be taken.
Benefits:
The smart office solution enabled employees to check individual and multiple desk and meeting room availability, along with the temperature and CO2 levels in different areas of the office.
