Learning Objectives

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

Identify at which steps Quality Assurance can be done
Perform Quality Assurance at each step

Quality Assurance (QA) is done throughout the installation project, since there are different steps in the project.

Following excel contains the different steps. Make sure to download, sign and save with the project information.

Quality Assurance before installation (only for LoRa sensors)

Motion sensors connect over the LoRa network. Make sure you install your LoRa hub before installing the sensors (check out LoRa Gateways, Hubs installation guides for more information).

‪1. Spacewell Implementation Consultant to check gateway status on sensor platform

‪2. If possible: Spacewell Implementation Consultant to add sensor upfront to Studio and check after gateway installation if data comes through in Studio

Quality Assurance during installation

If the situation you are facing deviates from these instructions/prerequisites, please contact Spacewell. Pictures / Drawings say more than a 1000 words.

Use the Placement Guides that are made available by Spacewell, see Install and Configure Gateways and Sensors .
Place the sensor sticker to the sensor plan or fill in the prepared excel (see Prepare batch import file before installation)
1. When installing sensors that have been installed elsewhere in the past (procedure to be defined with Spacewell Implementation Consultant): indicate the sensor ID on the sensor plan. Remember that every Browan sensor device ID is in hex (The values of a hexadecimal digit can be: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F)
Installer to take snapshots / examples of sensor placement during installation
Scan the sensor plan with the stickers of the sensor IDs
Send the snapshots and sensor plan to your Spacewell Implementation Consultant, who will use it to import the sensors in the Workplace Platform and will keep the files in the internal project folder
‪Visual inspection
1. Check that sensors are placed according to sensor placement guides; not hindered by cables, pipes, light fixtures or other obstructions
2. Blue light when waving hand in front of sensor

Quality Assurance during configuration/sensor deployment in Workplace Platform

‪Remember most (LoRa) device IDs are in hex (The values of a hexadecimal digit can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F)
If device ID not readable in sensor plan: check sensor platform
1. Does the device ID exist?
2. Is it connecting to the correct hub?
If mapping done based on excel (see Prepare batch import file before installation)
1. Export sensor devices excel from Studio
2. Export MCS location IDs excel from MCS
3. Use VLOOKUP to map to sensor device ID to MCS location
4. Once VLOOKUP is executed check manually if done right
5. Check begin, mid and end of excel
Check How to monitor Sensor Health
Check for white spaces on live floorplan (red on Studio health view). These location could be missing mapping.

Location 13.060.1 is white on GO live floor plan

Quality Assurance after configuration/on-site

The Quality Check after configuration/on-site can happen after the mapping of the sensors in Workplace back-end Studio is done.

‪To be done by someone who didn’t install the sensors
‪Make sure you have access to the live floorplan via http://go.cobundu.com
- Can be accessed via mobile phone as well
‪Make sure to bring the sensor plan
Ideally you have access to https://studio.cobundu.com , so that you can immediately make some changes

Below verifications should be written down, signed and added to the project documentation.

‪Check where the sensors are installed.
Check that sensors are placed according to sensor placement guides; not hindered by cables, pipes, light fixtures or other obstructions
Check if sensors are falling down
‪If desks or meeting rooms are occupied
- Compare occupied workplaces and meeting rooms with the occupancy on the floorplan
- Count employees and compare to info on live floorplan
- Note that in some cases people may have just left the room or desk but color on live floorplan did not yet shift to green (take into account the configured occupancy decay)

The comprehensive test must be performed for at least 1 meeting room and 1 common workplace area (if set up)

‪Take a couple of pictures of the sensor placement and the surroundings
1. Make sure to take a detailed picture of the sensor as well as a picture of the whole desk/room & environment
2. This will make it easier to understanding the setting in case later someone, who doesn’t know the site, needs to check the pictures as well
Verify dimensions
1. for a workplace:
  1. Write down the dimensions of the desk: length & width (depth)
  2. Write down how far the sensor is installed from the end of the desk (seated side)
  3. Verify with initial measurements, calculations and sensor plan
2. for a room (large or small):
  1. Write down the dimensions of the room: length & width + height
  2. Write down where the sensor is installed
  3. Verify with initial measurements, calculations and sensor plan

QA after config, for Workplace installation (Browan -motion)

1 Sensor with cap per desk should be installed differently depending on desk mode:

Normal workplace: vertical/ downwards + perpendicular to table (short side sensor parallel to long side table)

Height adjustable desk: the longest face of the sensor is parallel to the front of the desk and the lens facing downwards (long side sensor parallel to long side table)

Sit down at a desk and check if occupancy is triggered
Check if sensor does not trigger another room on live floorplan (check if every sensor is correctly mapped with location)
Check Live Floorplan for white spots
- This means the sensor is not linked
- Do you have the correct sensor IDs? If not sure, take a picture of the sensor ID

With chair: walk by tables without sitting down, walk closely to the chairs
1. Make sure the sensors do not trigger false positives; the floorplan must not color red
Without chair: remove the chairs and walk at 30 cm of table
1. Make sure the sensors do not trigger false positives; the floorplan must not color red
Without chair: remove the chairs and walk closely to the table (0cm)
- Occupancy must be triggered, floorplan must color red

QA after config, for Meeting Room installation (Browan motion)

QA after config, for ‪installation in ‪Rooms under 4x4m (Browan motion)

QA after config, for Pointgrab & VergeSense

Quality Assurance for headcount setup

For Vergesense sensors installed in open spaces, Quality Assurance should include 50% of the desks.

Quality Assurance for traffic / footfall count

Quality Assurance after Dashboard setup

See Dashboards
