ROOMZ meets all of ETH’s requirements, in terms of easy operation, scalability and design.
«Space is precious. Particularly our students do not have enough space for learning and working. This resulted in the idea to place our 600 meeting rooms, lecture halls and seminar rooms at their disposal for studying when they are not in use.
This required electronic door signs that show the reservation status of the rooms at a glance. Customary displays were either dependent on a radio infrastructure or cabling, did not meet the aesthetic requirement or were not scalable.
Conversely, ROOMZ, the battery-operated room reservation display on an e-paper basis, meets all of ETH’s requirements –in terms of easy operation, scalability and design. The ROOMZ server connects with over 10 different reservation tools used at ETH, which proves its high level of flexibility and openness. The displays connect with the WiFinetwork, fit within ETH’s standard door sign frames and can also be attached to the glass.
The result: the rooms are better utilized, students are satisfied, and room planning has become far more efficient. Our goal is to equip all available rooms at the ETH with a dynamic door sign. That makes 600 rooms that we can use better and more efficiently with ROOMZ.»
Seven years after the first screens were installed, ETH Zurich now has a total of 800 ROOMZ Displays installed. Remarkably, only 10 of these 800 displays have become defective.
