Visix announced the addition of the EPS 27 ePaper desk sign to its sustainable space management offering. The company says the wireless, battery-powered E Ink sign provides an “affordable, energy-efficient solution to display desk reservations in hybrid office environments.” Measuring 3.1” x 0.6” x 1.7” and weighing 1.3 ounces, the EPS 27 boasts long-life batteries that last up to five years and includes a desk edge mount.

Visix’s epaper desk signs can be used independently or integrated into a comprehensive sustainable space management solution, which combines epaper desk and room signs with the Choros AR space booking platform and ultra-low-power availability lights.

Choros is a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) space-booking platform that lets people scan QR codes to book rooms, desks and other shared spaces and assets. It uses native AR support on smartphones and is managed in the cloud. It can be paired with LoRaWAN availability lights, which use 0.60 watts of power and can be operated on existing PoE infrastructure, to show workspace availability at a glance. Additionally, bookings can be displayed on wireless, battery-powered epaper signs outside rooms and attached to desks, showing both Choros QR codes and reservations.

By leveraging a smartphone-based booking system alongside energy-efficient lights and signs, Visix says organizations can reduce energy consumption and costs, forego expensive hardware and avoid complicated installations.
