Room Scheduling Display

A room that looks free usually is not, and finding out costs a walk down the corridor. A scheduling display outside the door shows the current booking and the next one, and lets the next user claim the room without opening a laptop. The panel reads the calendar system already in use, so nothing has to be entered twice. Many units also drive the room itself: display power, lighting and the occupied state on the corridor overview.

How it is specified

• Screen size, and whether the panel is touch or display only
• Calendar platforms supported and how the account is paired
• Power: PoE, or a local adapter where PoE is not available
• Mounting on glass, drywall or a floor stand, and the fixings supplied
• Whether a presence sensor is used to release rooms that were booked but never used
• Control outputs for display power, room lighting or a status indicator outside the door
• Fleet management: content, firmware and device health from one console

Where it is used

• Office meeting rooms and hot desks
• Clinic and consultation rooms
• Classrooms and study rooms
• Shared facilities in co-working buildings
