Visix has announced the launch of the EPS 27 epaper desk sign, expanding its sustainable space management offerings. This new addition is a wireless, battery-powered E Ink sign designed to display desk reservations in hybrid office environments. The EPS 27 measures 3.1” x 0.6” x 1.7”, weighs 1.3 ounces, and features long-life batteries lasting up to five years. It includes a convenient desk edge mount, providing an energy-efficient solution for modern workplaces.
Trey Hicks, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Sales Officer at Visix, stated, “As more offices adopt flexible work models, the need for efficient workspace management becomes critical. Our larger epaper signs are popular for displaying bookings and schedules outside rooms. Now, with the EPS 27 and the compact EPS 42, clients have versatile options for desk reservations and QR code bookings.”
The EPS 27 can be used independently or integrated into a comprehensive space management system. This system includes epaper desk and room signs, the Choros AR space booking platform, and ultra-low-power availability lights. Choros is a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) platform enabling users to scan QR codes to book rooms, desks, and other shared spaces via smartphones. Managed in the cloud, Choros eliminates the need for additional hardware.
Choros can be paired with LoRaWAN® availability lights, which use only 0.60 watts of power and can operate on existing PoE infrastructure. These lights provide immediate workspace availability information. Bookings are displayed on wireless, battery-powered epaper signs outside rooms and attached to desks, showing both Choros QR codes and reservations.
Integrating a smartphone-based booking system with energy-efficient lights and signs allows organizations to reduce energy consumption and costs. This approach supports environmental compliance and creates a greener workplace, appealing to today’s socially conscious employees and customers.
“We aim to offer a practical, affordable, and eco-friendly space management solution,” Hicks added. “Organizations are addressing multiple challenges, including the shift to hybrid work, employee engagement, and sustainability goals. Our innovations are designed to help them succeed in these areas.”
