Humly, a workplace experience company with more than a decade of innovation for modernizing business environments, returns to ISE this year with an expanded array of accessories built to improve the meeting experience. The accessories pair with Humly’s two award-winning premium hardware devices, both of which will be presented in varied configurations throughout the company’s ISE stand. Humly exhibits at Stand 2W550.

Introduced at ISE2024, Humly’s growing range of hardware accessories introduce time-saving functions to a businesses’ Humly ecosystem that reduce bottlenecks and inefficiencies where people work. That includes the expansion of sensor technologies within our Humly Booking Device and Humly Room Display premium hardware solutions, which this year at ISE includes a new accessory for the former to detect human presence inside a phone booth-style personal meeting space.

“Humly’s spirit of innovation continues to thrive in the form of our line of controllable accessories that put more power in the hands of the end user,” said Andres Karlsson, CEO, Humly. “With two established and trusted premium hardware solutions installable next to meeting space entrances, on or underneath desks, or within personal phone booths among other locations, our new booking accessories emphasize the ‘experience’ in the modern workplace experience.”

Humly’s accessory designs leverage sensor integrations to enable specific applications. On its ISE stand, Humly will demonstrate its latest occupancy sensor for private spaces that is typically mounted on a wall. Ideal for private focus, the new specialized operational mode is powered via an external motion sensor that detects human presence inside a phone booth-style persona meeting space. The sensor immediately notifies the local Humly Booking Device when someone has entered the booth, switching to “booked” mode and changing the touchscreen’s LED lighting to red.

Now shipping in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific, Humly Booking Device is a slim and flexible device for mounting on and underneath a variety of surfaces where people work, gather, and collaborate. Its architecture houses a small, high-resolution LCD display (3.46 inches) with a capacitive touchscreen surrounded by an LED light that alerts people whether rooms or desks are available or occupied (green lighting and red lighting, respectively).

Humly will also unveil a new sensor integration that communicates pertinent atmospheric data including air quality, temperature, carbon dioxide levels, and humidity – all which can be found on the Humly Room Display and within Humly Control Panel. Users can define thresholds for good, moderate, and poor air quality for any resource with an assigned sensor. Humly Room Display is a meeting room booking solution with an interactive display that makes it easy to locate your reserved space or find an available one on the spot. Humly Control Panel is the central administration interface used to monitor and manage a Humly Room Display network.

Returning to ISE this year is Humly’s PoE and Desk Control accessory for Humly Booking Device, introduced last year at the height of the hotdesking movement. The ultra-compact accessory includes an ethernet port for PoE powering and a separate cabling connection to control desk positions, and these features can be turned on separately or together. The accessory is small enough to fit inside walls or mount underneath desks for cleaner installations that conceal accessories from direct sightlines.

The desk control feature is especially powerful in the modern workplace. Desks automatically adjust to the user’s preferred seating position upon booking, and the system will recall that user’s precise desired position for every desk on the network. Staff can also manually adjust desk heights for other seated and standing positions should needs change.
