EG Worksense can be configured for lobby screens, also known as interactive kiosk displays. Key benefits include:

• Locating meeting rooms and other spaces on the floor
• Checking the real-time availability of meeting spaces throughout the building
• Instantly booking available meeting rooms
• Finding colleagues who are currently in the building
• Viewing an overview of indoor air quality

For the lobby screen, installation and maintenance are

done by the user. EG provides technical requirements for the screens and instructions how to set up EG Worksense to a lobby screen.

System requirements

The lobby screen has been optimized for full HD (1920 × 1080 pixel) or higher resolution displays. The display can be in landscape or portrait orientation.

Devices displaying the lobby screen views need to have enough performance from the CPU and GPU as WebGL is used to display the floor plan. We support the latest Windows operating system and the latest Firefox and Chrome browsersbrowser versions.

We’ve tested with the following devices that even large floor plans work on a touch screen:

• INTEL NUC7i5DNHE

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 7300U 2.6 GHz Dual-Core

  • Memory  8GB

  • GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620

  • Windows 10

• Lenovo ThinkCentre M710q Tiny

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 7400T 2.4 GHz Quad-Core

  • Memory  8GB

  • GPU: Intel HD Graphics 630

  • Windows 10 Pro

You can always test in advance if the lobby screen functionality works on your device. Please contact your EG contact person for help.
