Office Desk and Meeting Room Monitoring with IBM TRIRIGA Integration

A client in Florida sought a sophisticated desk and meeting room monitoring solution for two buildings to improve employee utilisation and office management. The key requirement was integrating occupancy data into their existing IBM TRIRIGA booking and reporting application. This integration streamlined booking processes and enhanced management efficiency, demonstrating IAconnects’ capability in delivering custom smart office solutions that enhance both office efficiency and employee satisfaction.

Data on desk and meeting room occupancy

Building managers were in need of a system that provided live data on desk and meeting room occupancy, coupled with a streamlined booking mechanism.

IBM TRIRIGA application

The challenge was to harness the capabilities of their pre-existing IBM TRIRIGA application, thereby eliminating the need for an additional platform.

Additionally, there was a requirement for a more efficient method for employees to ascertain the availability of flexi-desks.

Software and Hardware

• IA-SEE IoT Edge Gateways: Facilitating local data processing and connectivity.
• Fully Redundant On-Prem solution utilising client infrastructure. 
• WPO PoE Connectors: Ensuring robust and reliable power and data transmission.
• Desk Occupancy Sensors: To visually indicate desk availability.
• PoE People Counters: For accurate people counting in meeting rooms.
• PoE Area People Counters: Extending people counting to larger areas.
• Sensor Reporting: Aggregating and presenting sensor data.
• Integration with IBM TRIRIGA Application: Streamlining booking and reporting processes.
• Structured 5 year maintenance agreement with weekly meetings.

Real-time monitoring of desk occupancy

IAConnects developed a smart office solution that enabled the real-time monitoring of desk occupancy (indicating occupied or not occupied) and meeting room usage (including people count). This data was seamlessly integrated into the client’s IBM TRIRIGA booking and reporting application, ensuring a cohesive and efficient workflow.

IBM TRIRIGA Integration

The implementation of this system enabled the client to efficiently manage desk and meeting room bookings. Employees could quickly view and book available spaces, and the building management was able to generate both ad hoc and scheduled reports through the IBM TRIRIGA application. This integration significantly improved office management efficiency and employee satisfaction.
