Workplace Optimization
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-14
Summary
Our ‘‘Bluetooth beacon mesh network,” paired with our mobile app, provides rough estimates of when and where users were in an office at the minute level. However, there is a lack of sufficient data to properly develop and test workplace optimization algorithms (high/low traffic areas, over/under-utilized spaces, changes in trends of space usage, short-term/long-term patterns of movement, etc.). From a business perspective, solving the difficult technical challenge of generating a synthetic dataset large and diverse enough to develop and test our algorithms would position us as tech leaders in the workplace optimization space.

Description
Our ‘‘Bluetooth beacon mesh network,” paired with our mobile app, provides rough estimates of when and where users were in an office at the minute level. However, there is a lack of sufficient data to properly develop and test workplace optimization algorithms (high/low traffic areas, over/under-utilized spaces, changes in trends of space usage, short-term/long-term patterns of movement, etc.). From a business perspective, solving the difficult technical challenge of generating a synthetic dataset large and diverse enough to develop and test our algorithms would position us as tech leaders in the workplace optimization space.
Description (French)
Notre « réseau maillé de balises Bluetooth », associé à notre application mobile, fournit des estimations approximatives du moment et de l'endroit où les utilisateurs se trouvaient dans un bureau, à la minute près. Cependant, il n'y a pas suffisamment de données pour développer et tester correctement les algorithmes d'optimisation du lieu de travail (zones de trafic élevé/faible, espaces sur/sous-utilisés, changements dans les tendances d'utilisation de l'espace, modèles de mouvement à court/long terme, etc.). D'un point de vue commercial, la résolution du défi technique difficile, que représente la génération d'un ensemble de données synthétiques suffisamment vaste et diversifié pour développer et tester nos algorithmes, nous positionnerait comme des chefs de file technologiques dans le domaine de l'optimisation de l'espace des lieux de travail.
