MHT Technologies, a leader in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) lighting, has released Inspextor Smart Desk, a PoE connected, adjustable-height desk that monitors its surroundings, and communicates through the Inspextor cloud-based software / app. The desk can communicate with different building or workplace management systems.
Office workers can select an available desk based on their preferences, whether location, temperature, or being near others. The desks also inform employers of desk popularity by location, employee personas, progress toward return to office, and desk changes per day.
The desks can also reduce work station energy losses up to 20% since PoE devices avoid AC-to-DC conversion losses for PoE computers, desk lamps, and phones. Floor plans can be more easily adjusted because new line voltage outlets don’t need to be intalled at a new desk location, which typically requires core drilling in cement office buildings. Cisco Systems has installed hundreds of smart desks inside its PENN1 New York City and Atlanta Collaboration Center offices.
