Elevate your workplace with IoT sensors

OpenBlue IoT Sensors turn space challenges into opportunities with real-time objective data that allows you to identify, plan and deliver the ideal workplace. Sensor data reveals actionable insights on occupancy, utilization and the environment that can improve employee productivity and satisfaction while simultaneously optimizing your real estate portfolio and reducing energy costs.

How can IoT sensors help?

Reducing business expenses

  • Reduce time spent on logistics with live space availability data delivered across the workplace.
  • Save money by identifying underused spaces to find opportunities to consolidate and increase utilization. You can save up to $200,000 with every 1% improvement of utilization.
  • Grow revenue by adopting co-working strategies to rent and share unused space.
  • Lower energy costs with BMS and BAS integrations.

Higher Employee to Desk Ratios
Higher employee to desk ratios

Most organizations still use a 1-to-1 employee to desk ratio. Achieving a higher ratio like 5-to-1 is not only possible, it can also save you millions in overhead costs. Offering intuitive tools and a real-time, live view of workspace availability will boost employee adoption and drive productivity.
