Reduce desk capacity to ensure social distancing
With the hushed word that we might be returning to offices and workplaces but ‘not as we knew it’ being spoken about – many property management teams will be wondering how this can be achieved whilst maintaining social distancing measures.
Social distancing with the iotspot smart workplace platform
Using the iotspot platform, iOtSpace can help.
A ‘lite’ version of the platform has been developed that does not need hardware on every desk. This reduces significantly the cost of deployment, something that everyone is concerned about given the economic nosedive caused by the Covid-19 virus. So instead of a USB powered device on every desk, the full ‘user experience’ can be realised by applying a simple sticker that uses NFC printing technology to every workstation and meeting space.
iOtSpace will assist you in creating the digital twin – effectively recreating your office layout in the cloud which then allows you to block out as many of the desks as you wish. If you want to start back with only 30% capacity, block out 70% of the desks. As restrictions (hopefully) ease, this figure can gradually be adjusted up to and beyond 50% capacity if required.
By preventing desks from being booked, you can ensure social distancing within the office and keep everyone safe whilst they are at work.
iOtSpace have developed an online training webinar series to train your staff in what ‘back to work’ looks like and how the user app will be deployed. The short explanation is that unless you have pre-booked a desk (before you leave from home), you will not be able to access the building. This can be controlled by physical ‘door-keeper’ presence or integration with your access control system.
All of the key user functions are retained so that you can search for colleagues, set up work groups and book meeting rooms.
There is now a temporary offer available to help companies startup again.
