Smart offices get smarter with rise of hybrid work

Singapore

AT Schneider Electric's regional headquarters in Kallang, over a thousand sensors across nine floors track the occupancy of workstations and meeting rooms in real-time. This helps the company plan its office layout according to usage patterns.

As safety measures kicked in during the pandemic, Schneider Electric used this technology to track the number of occupants within the premises to ensure safe distancing. Staff with flexible working arrangements could find available workspaces and check for colleagues in the building through a mobile application (app).
