Monitoring Guide

These are single flex desks in an office space. Desks of this type are the most common office workplaces. These desks include a proper (sit/stand) desk, office chair, and a monitor (optional).

We advise to monitor this type of workplace because the data can be used to determine whether this type of workspace is frequently used or not.
‍
We advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot Desk sensor - This sensor is able to measure single desk occupancy in the most effective manner.

These are small meeting rooms in an enclosed office space. Rooms of this type are often include a few office chairs / desks and an interactive video screen (optional).

We advise to monitor this type of workplace because the data can be used to determine whether this type of workspace is frequently used or not.
‍

We advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot Room sensor - This enables you to measure how often the workspace is used.
  ‍
  

We DO NOT advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot People counter - This high end sensor is tracking real time use and even counting the number of people in the room. For a 2 person workplace this will be an overkill in most cases.
• iotspot Desk sensor - For a two person workspace a single desk sensor won’t give accurate data.

‍

Similarly to Single Flex Desks, these are multiple individual flex desks in an office space. Desks of this type are the most common office workplaces. These desks include a proper (sit/stand) desk, office chair, and a monitor (optional).

We advise to monitor this type of workplace because the data can be used to determine whether this type of workspace is frequently used or not.

‍

These are single seats at a high table or the high table as a meeting table. Workplaces of this type are placed in the open office space and might be surrounded by whiteboards / plants.

We DO NOT advise to monitor this because this type of furniture does not belong to the standard office furniture. Monitoring this type can have one of the following challenges that could influence the results negatively:

• Since it is not an official single desk, the chair can be moved around and hereby positioned out of range of the desk sensor.
• It is positioned in an open space where the movement of people around the furniture can create unwanted sensor triggers in case of room sensors.

Lastly, we do not advise to measure all furniture in the office to provide a more simplistic and insightful result that in most cases is more worthwhile.

These are large meeting rooms in an enclosed office space. Rooms of this type are often include a few office chairs / desks and an interactive video screen (optional).

We advise to monitor this type of workplace because the data can be used to determine whether this type of workspace is frequently used or not.
‍

We advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot Room sensor - This enables you to measure how often (and when) the room is used.
• iotspot People counter - This high end sensor is tracking real time use and even counting the number of people in the room. Use this sensor you are looking to get data on how many people are using the room instead of just when it.
  ‍

We DO NOT advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot Desk sensor - For a large meeting room desk sensor(s) won’t give accurate data.

‍

These are single desks in a small enclosed pod. Desks of this type are often labeled as concentration or focus workplaces. These desks include a proper (sit/stand) desk, office chair, and a monitor (optional).

We advise to monitor this type of workplace because the data can be used to determine whether this type of workspace is frequently used or not.
‍
We advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot Desk sensor - This sensor is able to measure single desk occupancy in the most effective manner.

This is often a small well isolated booth that includes a single desk or standing desk to support (quick) phone calls.

We advise to monitor this type of workplace because the data can be used to determine whether this type of workspace is frequently used or not.
‍

We advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot Room sensor - This enables you to also measure individuals that use the room while not being close to the desk.
• iotspot Desk sensor - If the phone booth includes a single desk a desk sensor can also be sufficient.
  ‍
  

We DO NOT advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot People counter - This high end sensor is tracking real time use and even counting the number of people in the room. For a 1 person phone booth this will be an overkill.

We advise to monitor this type of workplace because the data can be used to determine whether this type of workspace is frequently used or not.
‍

We advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot People counter - This high end sensor is tracking real time use and even counting the number of people in the room. Useful if you are not interested in what desks are used, but more in how many people are using the space at the same time.
• iotspot Desk sensor - If you are looking to measure single desk usage within this space.
  ‍

We DO NOT advise to use the following sensor for this workspace type:

• iotspot Room sensor - This will not provide you with useful data for this room type.

These are single seats at a coffee table type of workplace. Workplaces of this type are placed in the open office space.

We DO NOT advise to monitor this because this type of furniture does not belong to the standard office furniture. Monitoring this type can have one of the following challenges that could influence the results negatively:

• Since it is not an official single desk, the chair can be moved around and hereby positioned out of range of the desk sensor.
