Details of the joint solution

he PADS4 platform can meet the needs of the digital transformation, while supporting daily work and tasks for facility managers. The platform features five modules, which we will go into detail on below

PADS4 Workspace

The PADS4 Workspace module optimizes available workspaces in the
office with smart management of desks, equipment, meeting rooms,
shared areas, etc. With the possibility of booking and scheduling any
space, employees and guests get more control over when and how they
work. The goal is to improve the user experience in the work
environment, which increases productivity for employees and visitors.

PADS4 Visitor Management

PADS4 visitor management is the newest module, being released just a couple of months ago. Visitor management helps keeping track of your guests and visitors and help them visit their location. Not only does VMS make the process more efficient, but it also helps optimizing the visitor experience. Visitors can easily check in using a pin or QR code and hosts will immediately be notified about the arrival of the visitor. In addition to that, the time of the receptionist at the welcome desk will be optimized.

PADS4 Wayfinding

Digital Signage is a necessary tool to efficiently guide visitors and employees to destinations in large workplaces such as multi-story or multi-building offices. With PADS4 Wayfinding, you can create interactive maps for digital signage and dynamic kiosks. Integrating real-time information like escalator and elevator status, traffic, and emergency notifications means maps are always up-to-date and can offer the most efficient route – to guarantee effective and reliable guidance. Plus, with full integration into reception, PADS4 Wayfinding can reduce workloads for staff, delivering better control over wayfinding across your organization.

FIDS stands for flight information display system. More than 25 years ago, we became pioneers in data-driven solutions by creating our first solution for Eindhoven Airport. FIDS makes up the heart of any airport and create a safer airport environment for passengers, staff and visitors. FIDS guides passengers from the curb to the gate using dynamic guidance. Not only does FIDS guide passengers to the correct flight, departure or baggage checkout, our solutions also enable airports to reduce the perceived waiting times with our advertising and infotainment solutions.
