This solution, offers a wide range of automation opportunities, improving the productivity of the entire team, reducing operational spending, and optimising business outcomes. Monitorisation, measurements, recordings, and alerts on real-time control systems are provided, offering the opportunity to act quickly to save operational costs and protect occupant’s wellbeing.

The application dashboard displays information about monitored equipment in any business, enabling a navigation panel for facility management through a dashboard including workspace occupancy, environmental monitoring and proof of cleaning.

Everything included in the kit:

The kit, which offers a 1-month trial, is equipped with the following devices:

  • The Elsys.se IoT sensor for temperature, humidity, light, and presence in an indoor environment. This sensor can be installed inside rooms, offices, shops and halls for 24/7 environment monitoring allowing users to configure both sampling mode and transmission schedules, configurable via Downlink or NFC.

The Elsys.se solutions offer pre-integrated interoperability, with Actility’s application dashboard for simple decoding and encoding services.​ This multi-sensor type of devices provide robust and resilient solution to support different environments and at the same time are discrete in both business and home environments.​
