After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • Check the set-up in VergeSense Platform

  • Configure the device to its location in the Workplace Platform

This guide helps to check the configuration of the VergeSense devices on the VergeSens Platform and describes the configuration of VergeSense devices on Workplace back-end Studio.

Prerequisites

Only after commissioning (per location) is finalized (see VergeSense sensor installation), data will be send to the Workplace Platform.

Deploy sensors in VergeSense Platform

Link the device IDs from the physical installation to the sensors device name (include area name, customer name (eg customer_area_floor number_room number_X))

Before linking a new sensor device, the sensor must be powered up and have internet access to the VergeSense cloud (make sure to check the Hardware and IT requirements mentioned in PointGrab installation).

Manually Import Commissioning Data

  1. Use the search and paging options to find the device.

  2. Click the “Link Device” symbol/buttonon the right hand side. The Link dialog is displayed.

  3. In the Serial Number field, enter the serial number that is provided on the sticket on the VergeSense sensor. Serial numbers should be inserted using the following format: xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx. Almost all sensors linked to Spacewell start with identifyer 4000023-1401-xxxxxx-xxxx.

  4. Click Link and verify that the sensor’s Link Status icon in the table changes to the “linked” symbol.

You can only link one device at a time.

Import & Export Commissioning Data from a File

Please check out the complete description and example of batch uploading devices as described on /wiki/spaces/KB/pages/492301.

Define areas in VergeSense Platform

Following the steps described in the /wiki/spaces/KB/pages/492301, define the areas where the sensors will measure headcounts (eg. different workplaces to be covered by 1 VergeSense sensor)

Don’t forget: all of these areas need to be within the Detection Area (check PointGrab installation for more information on Detection Area linked to Installation Height)

Even if the Detection Area might be large enough to cover more than 10 work places, VergeSense has a limit to max 8 areas per device, so if you create more in VergeSense Platform, the device will appear offline.

Finetune VergeSense Platform

Finetune the location of the area and the sensor device by comparing the live view and the on site situation.

For a more detailed understanding of the VergeSense Platform, please consult the /wiki/spaces/KB/pages/492301 manual.

Deploy sensors in your Workplace tenant 

Deploying sensors in Workplace can only be done by Spacewell.

For Spacewell external users: please contact your Implementation Consultant and indicate your tenant and the relevant VergeSense Platform area names that need to be mapped in Studio.

For Spacewell Implementation Consultants:

  • using your multi-tenant account (see /wiki/spaces/KB/pages/491811), you can create/modify areas in Studio. The drop down list starts at VergeSense Management Platform site level.

  • make sure to book a ticket for the Workplace Dev team to link your VergeSense environment with Workplace through API, as described in /wiki/spaces/KB/pages/127533075

Please be aware that only after the next data package is send, data for this sensor will be visible in your tenant. (This means that depending on time of provisioning to your tenant and activity at the customer site, this can take a while.)

  1. Go to your tenant (https://studio.cobundu.com)

  2. Go to Devices > "Add New Device"

  3. Select "VergeSense" in Device Type

  4. Select the detection area (that has been set up in VergeSense Platform) from the Device ID drop down list

    1. Because the Device ID drop down list includes ALL Workplace tenants, it's not possible to select VergeSense Platform device ID by using a tenant-direct-login in Studio. For Spacewell external users: please contact your Implementation Consultant and indicate your tenant and the relevant VergeSense Management Platform area names that need to be mapped in Studio.

  5. Give a meaningful name: include device name, tenant name (eg tenant_floor number_area)

    1.  Make sure device ID + location are referenced everywhere, so that in Studio you can use the simple search function 

  6. Map against the installation location in Studio

  7. Save/Submit your changes

Quality Assurance

Verify Quality Assurance steps in Quality Assurance Occupancy/Utilization Sensor

Next steps

Once data is flowing into the Workplace Platform, Configure Space monitor.
