Client Outcomes
“Now, rather than reporting whether space is being used four times a day by someone walking through the room, the mote will continually gather information and send reports to a database every 10 minutes.”
Automated, Accurate, and Scalable Wireless Data Collection
The system gathers data from Motes attached to office furniture, aggregates and compresses it via custom gateway devices, and transmits it to a central database. A custom web application allows clients to monitor and analyze space utilization trends. This patented solution enables organizations to optimize their work environments through precise, data-driven insights.

Custom Wireless Protocol for Efficient Data Transmission
Developed a proprietary RF protocol that reduces bandwidth usage and minimizes data collisions, ensuring reliable and efficient communication between Motes and gateway devices.
Intelligent Data Aggregation and Compression
Designed gateway devices to error-correct, aggregate, and compress high-volume data, optimizing transmission over RF and cellular networks to minimize latency and power consumption.
Scalable Web Application for Real-Time Insights
Built a JRuby on Rails web application deployed on IBM Websphere, enabling users to visualize and analyze workspace occupancy data through an intuitive interface.
