The use of advanced technology makes it easier than ever these days to plan efficient office space usage.

Cubicles can now be monitored for traffic continuously with Herman Miller’s space utilization measurement devices.
These motion detecting sensors are attached to the underside of chairs, desks, or conference tables to track occupancy over a period of several weeks. The data is transmitted to a wireless receiving station. From there, the information is compiled, analyzed, and used to create detailed reports.
