Effective Utilization of Your Workspace and Occupancy Levels with TRIRIGA Building Insights

Efficient enterprise space utilization has become pivotal. With the pandemic hitting on us on and off, organizations returning to work, have begun to widely adopt a hybrid workplace model. This involves keeping a close track of space that is being utilized and most importantly space that is being wasted/underutilized.

Tracking, monitoring, and optimizing space utilization will need insightful data about the available space at any point in time. This, in turn, involves comprehensive yet interpretable data that answers cardinal questions like:

• Are there possible ways to repurpose or reconfigure available space?
• Are there chances to combine space for better utilization?

Undoubtedly, employee well-being and effective utilization of your facilities are the priority. However, you also need to be wary about exceptions like budget constraints and this prolonged phase of uncertainty due to the pandemic that needs to be handled.

According to a report by IBM, 30-40% of commercial space is underutilized.

Data on space utilization will support you to make informed and data-driven decisions. Inappropriate data that involves manually intensive work to derive them will impact the quality of critical space-related decisions. Therefore, you should aim to maintain real-time occupancy insights that will help you harness business-critical information and react to changing business demands.

Are There Any Challenges in Effective Space Utilization?

Having said that, though we understand that workspace utilization demands accurate occupancy data across available workspaces, this may include a few challenges like the following:

• Purchasing, deploying and supporting new technology architectures
• Integrating disparate data sources into a common data pool
• Translating large amounts of data into meaningful and actionable insights

How Could You Overcome These Challenges and Emerge Successfully?

IBM TRIRIGA Building Insights can help you emerge successfully and overcome these challenges. IBM TRIRIGA Building Insights uses IoT data, AI, and inputs from TRIRIGA to provide insights about occupancy levels and usage metrics about your facilities.

To add on, TRIRIGA Building Insights dovetails with Cisco DNA to help you better understand space utilization trends, metrics, and any anomalies that may be associated with them. This data empowers you to identify underperforming workspaces and also supports you in optimizing their utilization.

What Are the Key Benefits of Adopting TRIRIGA Building Insights to Handle These Challenges?

• TRIRIGA Building Insights integrates with IBM TRIRIGA Integrated Workplace Management System and offers a single source of truth.
• It comes with an easily interpretable and comprehensive dashboard that equips your facilities managers with all the cardinal space-related data.
• It provides a peek into underutilized spaces that are frequently used.
• Allows you to assign spaces and establish chargeback allocations
• Boosts the data quality with insights from Watson AI
• Allows delivering the right services to your employees/occupants.

How Does TRIRIGA Building Insights Work?

Here is how TRIRIGA Building Insights works and helps you monitor and manage space utilization/occupancy levels.

1. Enables Understand the Utilization KPIs

TRIRIGA Building Insights helps to bring together critical utilization and occupancy metrics on a comprehensive and easily interpretable dashboard. It fetches data from IoT devices along with key planning attributes from space records that have been defined in the TRIRIGA facilities manager. This data is then delivered in an easily digestible way through simple data visualization on space usage.

2. Helps Learn Occupant Behavior with Watson AI

TRIRIGA Building Insights uses pattern recognition techniques and Watson Machine Learning to understand and determine the relevant working days about your organization. Furthermore, it learns occupancy behavior to predict the attendance of employees/occupants and continues to learn and adapt to shifting trends.

3. Allows Removal of Anomalies from a Dataset

TRIRIGA Building Insights helps in removing anomalies like days that do not match the predicted occupancy for your enterprise. This paves the way to make informed space allocation decisions without events that harm the obtained dataset.

4. Facilitates Scalable Sensing With Cisco DNA Wireless

TRIRIGA Building Insights natively integrates with Cisco DNA spaces and helps measure floor occupancy across your organization. Furthermore, this serves as a base to scale space utilization across your facilities.

What Are the Key Highlights of TRIRIGA Building Insights That Can Help You Manage Your Space Better?

Having understood the crux of TRIRIGA Building Insights, let’s throw light on the services that can be deployed using it:

• It helps collect, store, and analyze data from across your workspaces
• It supports developing differentiating experiences for your employees/occupants through integration with IBM TRIRIGA applications and the utilization of connected systems that help detect the presence and occupancy of employees.
• It offers deep insights about the utilization of your facilities/workspaces that help you make informed data-driven decisions using augmented intelligence.

A few unique capabilities of TRIRIGA Building Insights are as follows:

• Allows auto-generation of graphs based on a semantic model for analytics
• Effectively integrates with IBM TRIRIGA to contextualize occupancy-related data that is being collected.
• Provides pre-packaged analytics for space utilization that are aggregated to floor and buildings within the locations that have been on-boarded from IBM TRIRIGA portfolio.
• Offers state-of-the-art predictive analytics and machine learning/augmented intelligence models that help improve the usability of the occupancy trends and data.
• Facilitates normalizing and excluding data including anomalies or workdays that are not relevant to your organization.
