The Power Control Plug is a accessory for GoBright Interact that powers your desk workstation only when checked in, reducing energy use, saving costs, lowering your environmental impact, and increasing the accuracy of your occupancy data.
Return on investment (ROI)
Modern desk workstations still draw power in standby mode — Based on 2 monitors, a (Thunderbolt) hub and a Power hub a desk workstation typically consumes around 10 W per hour per desk and that adds up. If the workstation is in active use for 8 hours a day, the remaining 16 hours it is in standby mode which, plus weekend makes 128 hours per week! Taking a average cost of energy at €0,35 per kW this comes to -/+ €24,- per desk workstation per year.
How many desk workstations does your company have? Multiply that by €24,- … With the GoBright Power Plug, you can cut those costs immediately.
How it fits in the GoBright ecosystem
The Power Control Plug complements existing GoBright Interact. It extends the platform by adding power control to desk amenities—something not covered by other existing devices. The integration highlights the holistic nature of GoBright’s hardware and software.
