Flexible Workspaces, Lower Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hot desking optimizes office space by allowing employees to use any available desk instead of having fixed workstations. This approach adapts to changing schedules\u2014whether employees are on vacation, traveling, or working remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With real-time desk availability shown in an app or on a dashboard, employees can easily find a workspace that suits their needs. Hot desking reduces costs by minimizing office space, cutting rent and energy expenses, and lowering IT requirements. It also enhances flexibility, letting employees choose desks based on collaboration needs or quiet work preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery-free sensors from EnOcean make hot desking seamless. Simply place them on desks to instantly detect occupancy. Our partners’ solutions display this data in dashboards and apps, keeping everyone informed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Digital Catapult needed a quicker way of checking whether hot desks or meeting rooms were available. The company has a number of flexible desks, private booths and meeting rooms for multiple occupancy in the office on Euston Road, London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IAconnects 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. The installation included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • MobiusFlow IoT Edge gateway<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • NodeRed dashboard, allowing employees to make an informed desk choice based on a number of factors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Desk occupancy sensors to show which desks are available<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • EnOcean door and window magnetic contact sensors to show which doors and windows are open\/closed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • EnOcean presence detection sensors for meeting rooms and communal areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A combination of EnOcean 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
