But the centerpiece of the systems will continue to be space analysis. Roche also intends to eventually make these maps available to mobile phones rather than just to a computerized kiosk.Įmployees could also use the system to sign up for desks in hotdesk offices. While such a map isn’t a crucial feature in the relatively small area, the Grenzach-Wyhlen site is serving as a testing ground for possible deployment across larger Roche locations in Europe, where interactive maps could be beneficial. The company also uses the Internet of Things (IoT) system to display a map at a central computer kiosk in order to help visitors pinpoint specific locations on the floor. The return on our investment comes from these use cases.” This can result in the optimization of the provided spaces (area, equipment, quality, collaboration etc.) or the operational processes such as cleaning. “Based on these data, the real estate and facility management get insight into the usage of the provided area.

“The key driver for us behind the smart lighting solution is tracking the space occupancy,” Roche digital real estate manager Tobias Bächtold told LEDs Magazine. The sensors are wired into Roche’s IT network and connected to Signify’s Interact Office software, which analyzes the data. Roche is illuminating the space with around 100 downlights and 26 free-standing lights controlled by DALI (digital addressable lighting interface) technology, to which it has attached two different types of Signify’s Philips brand sensors: 29 infrared “multisensors” which detect movement and daylight, and 13 “people counters.” In a one-off implementation at a facility in Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany, Roche has been using a Signify system covering about 5400 ft 2 on one floor of offices and meeting rooms. Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche is experimenting with sensor-connected LED office lighting in which the sensors take note of how employees are using space, and help facility managers decide how best to utilize the area.
