Framery introduces all-new smart office cubicles to its collection

Costing less than the models they replace, these all-new cabs are also designed to be improved over time.

Framery, leader in the office cubicle market, launches a whole new generation of smart cubicles entirely designed to make the working day easier by offering fully connected, private spaces that are easy to book and automatically adapt to each person's needs and preferences. user. Incorporating advanced technologies, this family of four new smart cabins achieves the feat of redefining what is possible in the workplace, while costing less than previous generations of cabins.

For Framery CEO, Samu Hällfors: “It’s time to rethink our office design. It is no longer enough to provide a place to work. At Framery, we collected more than 8.000 user comments and data from more than 10 million individual user sessions to design cabins with optimal privacy. It's a transformative move that marks the start of the smart cabin era and the culmination of our own evolution from a furniture company to a technology brand. »

Building on the success of Framery One, the world's first smart cabin optimized for video calls launched in 2021, the new cabins still take a generational step forward in terms of patent-pending technology, flexibility and sustainability. Improving user experience as well as reducing workplace frustrations are the driving forces behind these innovations.

The main features and benefits of these new cabins are as follows:

• Intelligent lighting and ventilation system: To optimize the working environment, Framery smart cabins use millimeter wave radar sensors (the same technology used in autonomous driving systems) to detect activity. They automatically adjust lighting and ventilation when someone enters or leaves the cabin and adapt the environment based on the number of people in the cabin and their seating position.
• Lighting Presets: In-person lighting mode mimics daylight, optimized for everyday work; the video call mode perfectly illuminates faces.
• Adaptive ventilation: This exclusive design allows you to choose between direct or indirect airflow and adjust ventilation to your comfort. Whatever your choice, the air inside each smart cabin is completely renewed every 60 seconds on average.
• Fine soundproofing: A patent-pending acoustic structure, adapted to the frequency of human speech, ensures class A soundproofing.
• The Framery Office Sound Masking System: Built-in sound masking uses a proprietary sound spectrum to reduce speech intelligibility and noise distractions in areas outside cubicles.
• Advanced, automated reservations: Smart cabins can be pre-booked via Microsoft or Google calendars, or create a reservation by simply walking inside – and extend reservations with a single tap.
• Automatic updates: A built-in 4G connection allows for automatic updates as well as software updates with or without a Wi-Fi connection.
• The Framery app makes every space in your office easy to find and book through the Framery app - in advance or on the go.
• Real-time usage data: Anonymized data is collected by the smart booth to allow office managers to easily see when booths are in use, allowing reservations to be made on the fly.
• Privacy assured: No identifiable user data is collected - only workspace occupancy information is tracked.
• Touchscreen for even greater control: Allows users to further customize cabin settings and expand calendar reservations.
• Occupancy indication: Framery's smart cabins are equipped with exterior lights that allow you to see remotely if a cabin is free, reserved or about to become available.
• Extended lifecycle: A new, more durable, modular design and replaceable elements mean smart cabins have a longer lifespan. And recycling at the end of the cabin's life cycle is even easier thanks to the sustainable materials used.

Despite all these advances, the new Framery smart cabins cost less than previous generations of cabins. According to a study and analysis carried out jointly with CBRE, they are also much cheaper than building new meeting rooms of equivalent size.

To further increase their flexibility, these new cubicles can be brought into sync with the entire office using Framery's technology suite, which includes Framery Connect sensors that can be added to existing workspaces (cubicles or meeting rooms). traditional meetings), the Connect analytics tool and the Framery app. This suite is already available to 12.000 companies using Framery worldwide.

For Arto Vahvanen, head of digital offers and customer experience at Framery: “We believe that offices should adapt to people, not the other way around. Our suite of Workplace technologies further adapts the workspace to the real needs of employees, helping to end the race for meeting spaces: studies show that office workers can waste up to 30 minutes per day by trying to find a suitable place to work. With smart cabins, we can ensure employees always have enough space to meet, collaborate and concentrate. »

Each smart module model is designed to be highly customizable – both at the specification stage and over the life of the product, with over 3.000 possible color combinations. The technology, furniture and materials inside the cabin can be changed as needed, and real-time software updates help add features and improve the product in the future.
