Visix Expands Sustainable Space Management Solutions with New Epaper Desk Sign

ATLANTA, GA – July 23, 2024 – Visix is pleased to announce the addition of the EPS 27 epaper desk sign to their sustainable space management offering. This 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 just 1.3 ounces, the EPS 27 boasts long-life batteries that last up to five years and includes a convenient desk edge mount.

“As more offices adopt flexible work models, the need to quickly and easily find available and booked workspaces has become critical,” says Trey Hicks, chief operating officer and chief sales officer for Visix. “Our larger epaper signs are already a really popular choice to show bookings and schedules outside rooms, and we’re excited to now have two products for workspaces. Clients can choose our compact EPS 42 for the top of the desk or an adjacent wall, or the new EPS 27 to mount just under the desk edge. This gives our clients two really affordable ways to show desk reservations and QR codes for on-the-spot bookings.”

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, so it requires no hardware. It can be paired with LoRaWAN® availability lights, which use only 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, organizations can reduce energy consumption and costs, forego expensive hardware and avoid complicated installations. This helps with environmental compliance and leads to a greener workplace, which greatly appeals to today’s socially-conscious employees and customers.

“We’re thrilled to offer a practical, affordable, and eco-friendly space management solution,” says Hicks. “Organizations are trying to solve multiple problems at once – the shift to hybrid work, maintaining continuous employee engagement and meeting sustainability goals. We’re innovating to help them achieve success in all of these areas.”

The EPS 27 is the fourth addition to Visix’s electronic paper signs product line. For information and specifications on all Visix epaper signs, visit visix.com/electronic-paper-room-signs.
