Control all in one place

Unified control systems bring everything together, including lighting, AV equipment, and climate, putting it into one simple platform. By streamlining control into a single interface, they cut down on manual effort and make managing complex environments effortless and more intuitive. We can design and install these systems to suit your space, creating a setup that’s reliable and easy for your team to use every day.

Centralised management: With one easy-to-use control interface, be it a touchscreen, smartphone app, or wall panel, users can manage everything seamlessly. Adjusting the lights, lowering blinds, or setting up a video call can all be done with a single tap, keeping things simple and frustration-free.

Custom presets for every occasion: Pre-set modes make it quick to switch a room for different needs, whether it’s a presentation, workshop, or team catch-up. For example, choosing “Presentation” could automatically dim the lights, lower the screen, and set the audio, saving time and creating a smooth, professional setup.

Smarter energy use: Automated systems help cut costs and support sustainability by powering down lights, heating, cooling, and AV equipment when they’re not needed. It’s an effortless way to save energy while keeping spaces ready for action.

Voice and gesture functionality

Advanced technologies like voice recognition and gesture-based inputs offer a futuristic, hands-free way to manage your spaces, boosting performance and making interactions more straightforward. Here are some of the ways they can transform the way you work:

Voice activation: With voice-enabled systems, you can run a room without lifting a finger. Simple commands like “Start meeting” can dim the lights, fire up the projector, and launch your video call in seconds. It’s a quick and easy way to keep boardrooms, classrooms, or lecture theatres moving without interruption.

Gesture-based adjustments: Motion-sensing tech takes it one step further, letting you move through presentations or tweak settings with a simple wave or point. It’s not just slick, it’s practical too, especially in shared spaces or healthcare settings where touch-free operation makes a big difference.

Automated control environment FAQs

Integration of AV equipment into a room’s design is key to creating a space that is both functional and visually appealing. We work closely with your interior designers or your in-house team to make sure all AV elements complement the layout.

For example, display screens are mounted at eye level for clear visibility, while speakers and microphones are discreetly positioned for optimal sound. Cabling is carefully concealed to maintain a clean, modern look.

Yes, our AV systems are designed to handle multiple inputs such as laptops, tablets, cameras, and microphones. You can easily switch between different sources without disrupting the meeting.

We use advanced switching equipment to allow seamless transitions between input sources, ensuring that you can quickly adapt during a meeting.

Control of the AV system is made simple and intuitive through a range of options, including touch panels, mobile apps, and even voice commands. Touch panels can be positioned at the entrance or within the room to manage all AV functions, from lighting and screens to sound and video.

Mobile apps allow control via smartphones or tablets, while integration with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant enables hands-free operation. We carefully select the most user-friendly control methods to match your office workflow, ensuring that both technical and non-technical staff can operate the system with ease.

The power and network requirements for an AV system will depend on the specific equipment being used. Typically, this includes power outlets for displays, speakers, and cameras, as well as Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections for streaming and video conferencing.

Dedicated bandwidth is also important to ensure the smooth operation of all AV systems. We carry out a full technical assessment of your space to confirm it has sufficient power and network capacity, and we provide recommendations for any necessary upgrades to support optimal performance.

Automated systems are designed to be low-maintenance, but regular checks and software updates help keep everything running smoothly and future-proof your setup.

Training is minimal. Interfaces are designed to be intuitive, and Workspace AV provides guidance so teams can start using the system effectively from day one.
