— How to design the return to work with digital technologies

Booking and live occupancy display. The digital implementation of the 2-meter office for a safe return to work.

Due to the minimum distance of two meters to be maintained, the available workstations during pandemics are significantly reduced. With the Thing-it based digitization solution, the 2-meter office can be easily set up and managed. Bookable workstations, i.e. workstations that comply with the distance rules, and live occupancy are displayed on digitized building plans.

Workstations and meeting rooms can be booked quickly and easily via the Thing-it app. Discretely installed sensor technology ensures that booked but unoccupied workstations or meeting rooms are made available and no unwanted use occurs.

Dashboards can also be used to display occupancy in anonymized form and thus analyze the acceptance of office layouts. This data provides information on the direction in which the office needs to develop – both during and after Covid-19. Retrofitting involves adding wireless sensors so that a booking solution with live occupancy indication can be implemented quickly and easily.
