Visix, a digital signage firm specializing in software, content and meeting room signs, has entered the growing digital signage marketplace of workplace hoteling and desk reservation solutions with the EPS 42, an ePaper-based digital desk sign aiming at lightweight form factor, energy and cost savings and ease of mounting, according to a press release.

The EPS 42 is a pocket-sized 4:3 screen that weighs three ounces and is designed to work in portrait or landscape mode and engineered for ease of mounting, including desk or wall mounting with 3M Command Strips; the display offers electronic ink colors in black, white and red, and can display QR codes for mobile interactive functions, such as popular room reservation solutions like Tango's Reserve by AgilQuest. The system leverages Visix AxisTV Conference software, which integrates with enterprise software including Office365, Exchange, EMS, Google Calendar and CollegeNET.

"We're seeing more and more of our clients adapt to a hybrid and nomadic workforce," Trey Hicks, COO and CSO at Visix, said in the release. "Many employees want to work in the office at least one day a week, so companies are adopting more modern space management solutions. The old method of first-come, first-served doesn't work in some situations, and you can wind up having unhappy employees if they can't find a desk when they need one. By using booking apps paired with digital desk signs, companies can track reservations and usage and improve the overall workplace experience for everyone."
