Representatives from Joan, a meeting room booking company, showcase its latest product, the Joan 6 Pro at E Ink's private meeting space, at this year's CES event, according to a company press release.
The presentation will highlight a collaboration with E Ink, an e-paper producer.
Joan 6 Pro was designed in response to the pandemic and to react to the ongoing challenges that the workplace is facing in its shift towards more flexible office dynamics. To develop the device, Joan and E Ink considered feedback from customers.
Joan 6 can handle more than 100 meeting rooms and conference spaces, according to the release, gives employees notification to where meetings will be held and checks a meeting room's timetable directly on the device, preventing double bookings or cancelled meetings.
"Our goal with Joan 6 Pro was to create the perfect solution for the workplace of the future. The office is changing rapidly and its core function is being reshaped, so we need to be ahead of the curve," Matej Zalar, Joan co-founder, said in the release. "Our device integrates seamlessly in big office spaces and its software solutions follow the most recent workplace dynamics. People are slowly going back to the office and now more than ever companies will need tools that help them keep this safe and efficient. That is why we created Joan 6 Pro."
The device has a six-inch interactive, touch and E Ink electronic paper screen. For security, it features TLS 1.3 encryption and integrates with Google workspace, Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, Accruent EMS and iCalendar.
"Two years in the making, Joan 6 Pro is now being evaluated and sought after by some of the biggest global Enterprise clients," Martin E. Fishman, director of Enterprises and Strategic Alliances, said in the release. "Addressing our customers' requirements of sustainability, energy efficiency and technology innovation is at the core of the new generation of Joan devices."
Made with recyclable materials and low power architecture, Joan 6 Pro allows for six months of battery.
