The Sticky Campus & the new dynamics of Smartlearning
Technology
As we increasingly rely on these enabling technologies, we continuously review and select the best tools to help realise Smartworking for both our clients and ourselves. This allows us to configure and plan products, share information with ease, communicate seamlessly and showcase our clients’ ideas creatively.
pCon Planner
As our clients migrate from their traditional work settings towards more dynamic office landscapes, the ability to communicate our designs and concepts powerfully is becoming increasingly important to Orangebox.
pCon Planner makes configuring and 3D-visualising our entire portfolio simple, and now that we’ve added our entire Smartworking portfolio to the pCon product library, we (and our partners using the platform) can create and share live project ideas in just a few clicks.
CAD files can instantly be rendered and layered with thousands of fabrics and finishes, painting a portrait of what that built product would look like.
The ability to instantly visualise what customised products would look like is empowering for Orangebox and for our partners, with the rendered imagery helping us to really engage and enthuse our clients.
But where pCon Planner really excels is in the creation of combination of work settings and typologies: a tool such as pCon Planner allows us to tell the full story, from any angle and in any fabric.
Clickshare
Wireless presentation system Clickshare allows users to seamlessly connect to presentation screens with just one click.
The Clickshare platform facilitates wireless screen sharing, allowing businesses to cut ties with tethered technology (an important component of Smartworking). USB share buttons do away with cables and lengthy set-up times, and users can simply plug-in and share during meetings. To accompany the USB share buttons, the Clickshare app allows mobile users to share instantaneously with a virtual button: all that’s needed is a wifi connection.
Having a secure, reliable, instantaneous screen-sharing platform relieves the stress that’s often associated with meeting connectivity, making information-sharing seamless.
All Orangebox showrooms globally have Clickshare technology, with access to the full portfolio of products featured in the pricelist.
Clickshare operates on both Mac and Windows operating systems, and performs well with the following products in the Orangebox portfolio: Reef, Perimeter, Border, Airea, Air, Cove, Cwtch, and Away from the Desk.
Only the visual information, locally rendered on screen, is transmitted via the ClickShare button: with no files needing to streamed or sent from the client’s PC or Mac to the ClickShare Base Unit.
