Is Your Conference Room Crestron-Smart?

When you streamline and simplify the technology in your conference rooms or meeting space throughout your corporate facility, many benefits will follow and help alleviate daily stresses in the workplace. For instance, Crestron is one of the brands that provide integrated solutions to simplify installation and is practical for regular use. It is easy to maintain and scalable, catering to your company’s growing demands.

Today, such technology is required to evolve beyond conventional touch panels and control systems to become the definitive source for central and global management, control and presentation of information. Crestron allows you to control and automate your lights, screens and even AV equipment in your conference room, all from a dynamic easy-to-handle touch panel – meaning you can focus on your meetings much more effectively. In this article, you will learn some of the benefits that are associated with a Crestron-smart conference room.

Make reservations with ease

Imagine as you pass by the conference room, your hair stands on end as you realize you forgot to reserve the conference room for a late afternoon meeting. A quick look at the Crestron touch panel on the wall outside the room displays a full day of meetings slated to take place in the room. However, you quickly notice that there is a free slot between 4pm and 5pm and you promptly reserve the room straight from the screen!

Syncs with computer software

After making the necessary reservations, you proceed back to your desk. While browsing through your endless mails, you spot one from one of your meeting participants. He requests to push the meeting back an hour, which is nothing new to you. You open up your favorite software such as Lotus Notes, Google Calendar or Outlook and check for free slots after 5pm to move your meeting. When the changes have been made, Crestron seamlessly integrates the amendments and the touch screen outside the conference room automatically updates itself and shows the updated meeting timing.

Prepare for meetings the modern way

With a few minutes left before 5pm, the conference room gets ready for your meeting automatically. This means that the projector switches on itself, the room lower its shades and the lights are dim. At 5pm sharp, the lights from the touch screen changes from green to red, telling you that the room is all yours. Without spending much time to set up the room yourself, you can commence the meeting on the dot.

Smooth wrap-up

The meeting runs flawlessly and you manage to wrap things up half an hour earlier than planned. Your team thank you for the effective and quick meeting and everyone vacates the room. When the room confirms that there is no movement after ten minutes, Crestron controls accurately assumes that the meeting is indeed over and frees up the room in everyone’s Google Calendar or Outlook. The projectors are powered off, the shades are raised and the lights are switched off. The lights on the touch screen changes to green and wait patiently for the next meeting to begin.
