Feature Or, Facilities Managers may want to adopt ‘videoconferencing rooms’ instead of meeting rooms. With good sound proofing,
powerful videoconferencing tools such as the Crestron Mercury, and adaptable furniture that integrates with the technology in the room to conceal cables and bring a neat and tidy finish, such as from Salamander Designs, Facilities Managers can provide next-level, highly professional spaces for flawless videoconferencing. In order to be fully inclusive and easy for remote employees to connect to and have total visibility of a project, from anywhere on any device, reliable collaboration software such as the Hoylu platform offers an infinite canvas for digital teamwork, which goes beyond simple screensharing.
Another option is to implement a successful ‘office hoteling’ or hot desking strategy. A key priority for businesses will be to get staff back to work safely with robust desk-cleaning policies, strict social distancing and capturing data that supports a track and trace programme. The Desk Sign by Embrava enables a frictionless flexible working culture, whilst helping companies assess and rationalise their real estate costs. Through a contactless, one-step check-in/out process, the device displays desk availability and other critical information such as cleanliness status, so employees know which desk they can work at safely. Embrava connects with workspace booking software from NFS, which empowers employees by giving them control of their
working day with a zero-touch approach, enabling them to easily and simply book a space using their own mobile device. Through analytics, this initiative can maximise the benefits of an existing space and reduce real estate costs by indicating which facilities need to be taken out of service and which are needed to support the way staff are choosing when and how they use a workspace.
Rooms may also be configured to serve as the backdrop for virtual events, with stunning audio-visual solutions like SiliconCore’s class-leading LED displays, smart furniture from Salamander Designs, and solutions which drive energy efficiency like the new CEN-ODT-C-POE occupancy sensor from Crestron. This sensor brings all tech to life the moment someone walks in the room, and orders it to automatically shut down when the room is no longer in use.
Power Distribution Units from GUDE monitor power consumption and offer remote control of connected devices, making maintenance more convenient and increasing the operational safety of appliances.
