Waffle for Education

Overview:

In libraries, study spaces, and academic buildings, Waffle helps teams adapt campus spaces to meet student needs. Its movability makes it perfect for space testing.

Top use cases:

• Study Desks: Mount under desks in libraries and quiet zones to monitor usage.  Know which areas are booked and which are actually used. Great for managing underutilized spaces or understanding peak hours.
• Small study rooms: Place under a wall-mounted screen or table to track occupancy. Helps students find available spaces and gives facilities data to adjust hours, layouts and staffing.
• Semester trends & planning: Track how usage shifts throughout the academic calendar—from midterms to finals. Combine this with staffing or cleaning schedules for smarter resource allocation.
• A/B testing spaces: Want to know if students prefer beanbags or booths? Waffle gives you the data to answer that question before you commit to redesigns or expansion.
   

Things to note:

• Waffle counts 1/2/3+ people—perfect for booths, group study rooms, and shared quiet areas.
• For tracking library or cafeteria entries, use the Entry sensor.
• All insights are available in real time and historically.
   

Waffle benefits:

• Plug and play: Install in minutes—no ceiling mounts or wires required.
• Flexible: Move it from one area to another to test, optimize, and learn.
• Real-time & historical: See what’s happening now, or dig into usage over days, weeks, or months.
