Room Booking Kiosks

A major advantage of the Meeting Monitor™ system is the in-built capability to implement Room Booking Kiosks in common areas such as Receptions, Meeting Centres or Break-out Zones.

Interactive Floor Plan Layout

Each room icon displays the current room status (red is busy, green is free) and a scrolling text area lists details of the current or next meeting in real-time.

Using a touch screen and clicking on a room icon displays a pop-up window with the standard QED Meeting Room screen showing details of room status, colour coded time-bar, current and future meetings. If the room is configured for interactive use this will also then allow optional access to one or more features such as Instant Booking, Check-In, Check-Out and Extend but restricted to people associated with the booking (e.g. attendees and/or organiser).

This is also a low cost entry level solution that can be implemented simply and easily to provide immediate utilisation for rooms and resources.

Multi-zone, multi-floor or multi-building requirements are catered for with optional navigation buttons on the screens and floor plans simple require a suitable sized gif or jpeg image.

Using the floor plan builder wizard set-up is very straightforward and changes to layouts, adding additional desks or rooms, disabling access to out of use resources, adding extra zones are all very easy.

The floor plan graphic can of course display other information such as health and safety information, emergency escape routes and fire extinguisher location.

Hardware requirement is simply a Windows PC running XP or Windows 7 or for interactive use a touch screen PC such as the All-In-One units from Dell, ACER or HP. The screens can be any size from say 20" upwards and we recommend using a minimum resolution of 1280 x 1024 to ensure the screen information is clear. Alternatively a dedicated PC kiosk such as the unit shown opposite can be used and QED can supply these if required.

As the system is web screen based another option is to link the floor plan screens into an existing corporate Intranet or Portal to make finding a room for an ad-hoc meeting quick and easy.

The kiosk screens can also be configured to track desks and car spaces too where this requirement exists - click here for more information on Desk Booking options
