Integration of Sensor utilization data into Eptura Workplace allows visualization of real-time utilization data on your Eptura Workplace floor plans as well as reporting on historical data about space utilization.

When you want to integrate Sensor utilization data into Eptura Workplace the following Sensors can be integrated:

  • CoWorkr
  • Current by GE
  • Embrava - Note this desk booking sensor, creates reservations on behalf of the person and doesn't capture utilization.
  • IAconnects
  • iBeacon
  • Radiant
  • Relogix
  • UTI Live Motion
  • Vergesense
  • Workplace Fabric

If you would like to use sensors that are not currently supported, contact Eptura support to inquire about these.

Implementation Steps

Steps Description Responsible
1. The Eptura Implementation Manager completes a pre-implementation call with the Sensor Vendor and the Customer. On this call, customer requirements and integration capabilities are discussed and compared. If the capabilities and the requirements are a match, implementation begins. 

Eptura, Customer, and Sensor Vendor
2. Eptura Space implementation starts and the floor plans with numbered rooms are gathered from the customer and uploaded by Eptura by the customer.

3. Sensor Vendor provides the sensor hardware and Sensor IDs for each sensor to the customer. We recommend that the Sensor ID is labeled on each sensor.

4.

The Customer deploys sensors in the buildings and documents each Sensor ID and the Eptura room number where each sensor is located.

For GE, CoWorkr, and iaConnects Sensors

  • Eptura Workplace needs to be provided the API Key by the Customer or Sensor Vendor and then an Eptura Workplace Support ticket will be opened for development to enter this into the database. 

For ReLogix Sensor

  • The Sensor Vendor does the necessary configuration to send data to Eptura Workplace.

Customers can manually enter the sensor or room number mapping into Eptura Workplace.

Learn more in Configure Workplace Sensors. 

Alternatively, the customer can provide a spreadsheet with the Sensor ID and Eptura Workplace room number mapping (for an Implementation Manager to manually enter).

5.

Your spaces types for related spaces with sensors must have their space group set to Me or We.  When this is set then the sensors will display the utilization metrics.

Learn how to change the Space Group setting in Add, Edit, or Delete Space Types.

When the integration and installation is complete, then you can check to see if Sensor Utilization Data is flowing view the utilization data in Space Desktop.
