Office life has seen significant changes in recent years. More workers have to share available space (and desks), while workstations have to be flexible to accommodate different employees across shifts. The concept of ‘activity-based working’ is becoming more widespread, and allows workers to move around and perform assignments and tasks where convenient1.
There is also an increased focus on health, ergonomics, and efficiency of modern office workers. Electric sit-stand desks have to be able to track movement patterns and ‘remember’ personal and optimal work positions, and then help remind the workers to change posture.
Prepare your office – the digital future is here
LINAK® already offers an extensive selection of products for adjusting office desks on the market. Adding digital solutions to this portfolio allows you to accommodate the most modern office environments and to support ‘activity-based working’.
Users of sit-stand desks equipped with the award-winning Desk Panel DPG will enjoy the full benefits of ‘going digital’ when they download the LINAK Desk Control™ App – either on their mobile device or their Windows PC.
Help office workers improve work routines
The app and the DPG are designed to connect and enable functions such as auto-connect, sit-stand position memory, auto drive, and friendly reminders. However, one of the truly future-proof features in the DPG/App-combo is the on-the-fly statistics with overview.
Throughout the day, the user can receive information about the number of standing minutes and calories burned. The truly dedicated user can also set personal goals in the app, and then follow his or her progress towards these goals.
Bluetooth® adapter for wireless control
For desk users without the DPG desk panel, there is an alternative Bluetooth adapter. The Bluetooth adapter enables wireless control of adjustable desks via the DESKLINE® control box family CBD6S (SMPS).
Simply plug the Bluetooth adapter into the control box and use it to connect to the Desk Control™ App for Android / iOS / Windows 10.
Bring great solutions to the table
LINAK digital solutions are developed to help workers utilize the office desk’s adjustment function more actively and to allow them to thrive and ultimately improve their health1 by changing position – sit to stand – at regular intervals.
At the end of the day, however, you will be the one adding the extra value to workers, employers, and furniture designers alike, when you provide these benefits with your furniture.
The free LINAK Desk Control App comes in different versions for different platforms:
- iOS for iPhones and iPads
- Android for Android smartphones and tablets
- Windows 10 for PCs
