In the era of smart offices, a new player is taking center stage: office overview devices. These large-screen displays, often in the form of strategically placed TVs, are transforming how employees interact with their workspace. By showcasing real-time information about meeting rooms, desk availability, and office layout, these devices are making it easier than ever to navigate the modern workplace.
Let's explore Samna Area - our innovative solution for office overview devices. While Samna Area supports both horizontal and vertical display orientations, in this blog we'll focus on its map functionality and the benefits it brings to your workspace.
Dynamic 3D Maps: Your Personal Office GPS
Imagine walking into your office and being greeted by a large, interactive 3D map of the entire space. These dynamic maps don't just show you where things are – they guide you to exactly where you need to be.
Wayfinding Made Easy: Late for a meeting in an unfamiliar part of the office? The map shows where you are standing, and where you are supposed to be. Ensuring you arrive on time and stress-free.
Real-Time Room Status: Color-coded rooms instantly show which spaces are occupied, about to be occupied, or free for impromptu meetings.
Why the area so familiar: At Samna, we make 3D maps based on your office-environment and you will therefore get a 1:1 map with your offices. What you see is what you have.
Now, the maps are completely customizable and the same with the rooms you want to present at the specific area of the offices. Therefore you can make the map as large or as small as possible for that specific area, whether it be a floor or department or something entirely different; We support it!
Comprehensive Office Overview
These overview devices don't just show meeting rooms – they provide a complete picture of the office ecosystem. Samna Area has:
Desk Booking Visualization: In offices with hot-desking or flexible seating arrangements, the map displays which desks are available, booked, or soon to be occupied.
Team Locations: For large offices, you can quickly locate where different teams or departments are seated, facilitating inter-department collaboration.
Amenity Locators: Need a quiet pod for a call? Looking for the nearest printer? The map can highlight these amenities, saving you time and frustration.
Benefits Beyond Navigation
The advantages of these overview devices extend far beyond simple direction-giving:
Increased Productivity: Less time spent searching for rooms or available desks means more time for actual work.
Improved Space Utilization: With a bird's-eye view of the office, it's easier to identify and make use of underutilized spaces.
Enhanced Visitor Experience: For offices that frequently host clients or visitors, these maps provide an impressive and helpful welcome.
Flexible Work Support: As more companies adopt hybrid work models, these tools help employees quickly acclimate when they're in the office.
Emergency Information: In case of evacuations, our solution and displays can switch to showing emergency routes and safety information.
Integration with Other Smart Office Systems
The true power of these overview devices like Samna Area lies in their integration capabilities:
Meeting Room Booking Systems: Sync with room booking software to display real-time availability and allow on-the-spot reservations. With Samna, we integrate with both Exchange and Gsuite, which means you have instant availability on both Samna Area, and Meet. They all work in harmony, and you will see continious updates as fast as we can get them.
Desk Booking Platforms: Interface with desk booking apps, allowing employees to reserve a space directly from the large display. Samna Bookable allows for desk booking integration with the rest of our ecosystems.
Employee Directories: Some systems can show where specific employees are seated, facilitating easier face-to-face connections.
Building Management Systems: Samna can integrate with, and display information about temperature, air quality, or other environmental factors throughout the office.
The Future of Office Navigation
As offices become more complex and flexible, the need for intuitive navigation tools grows. These overview devices are at the forefront of this evolution, promising a future where getting lost in the office is a thing of the past.
By providing a comprehensive, real-time view of the entire office ecosystem, these systems do more than just prevent missed meetings – they foster a more connected, efficient, and user-friendly work environment. In the smart offices of tomorrow, these overview devices will be as essential as the desks and chairs themselves.
