Signify launches IoT sensor bundles for Interact Office

Employee discomfort, ill health and reduced performance can be linked to a poor-quality office environment. Good quality lighting can already help to increase employee productivity up to 23%, Signify claims.

There are other environmental elements that impact employee health and wellbeing. Poor thermal comfort control leads to a 6% drop in staff performance when offices are too hot, and 4% when too cold.

Signify is launching new Philips IoT sensor bundles that collect and deliver envoronmental data via the Interact Office connected lighting system and Environmental monitoring API’s. The new sensor bundles can monitor occupancy, the number of people, temperature (at room and at desk level), noise levels, daylight levels, relative humidity and are Bluetooth enabled, to provide indoor positioning and navigation capabilities.

These  sensors are smaller than a match box and are easily upgraded on premise with a simple click and swap via an upgradable sensor slot.
