Working with Sensor integration
This section describes instructions for working with Sensor integration.
Sensor Integration enables you to measure the actual occupancy and environmental variables of workspaces, meeting rooms, in general referred to as locations in this document. Measuring the occupancy of locations serves a twofold purpose:
• Enabling your staff to find available locations (a workspace, meeting room) based on real-time occupancy data.
• Enabling business intelligence analyses of locations (are there sufficient locations available, are the locations sufficiently large to accommodate staff). This will allow your organization to improve efficiency in location supply
Sensor Integration consists of a set of components that collaborate dynamically:
• Sensoring system: A set of measurement devices providing real-time sensor data displaying the actual location occupancy. Sensors can be any kind of measurement equipment.
• Data engine: Agile Workplace Management module receiving occupancy data from the sensoring system and providing it to Planon Software Suite.
• Connector: A reference to the Sensoring System web service (Planon managed) or Platform app (Custom managed) that provides sensor data to the data engine system. The connector is an interface between the sensoring system and the data engine system.
The following image depicts the AWM components and how they interact.
