Abstract: An intelligent furnishing system. The furnishing system includes an electronic device, a server, and a workstation. The workstation includes a short-range communication circuit, a user interface including a light source, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive a reservation including a reservation start time, increase a communication range of the short-range communication circuit when the reservation start time is a predetermined period of time from a current time, and receive a proximity signal from the electronic device. The electronic processor is also configured to illuminate the light source in a first color, receive a check-in signal when the proximity signal is received, change the light source from the first color to a second color, receive a check-out signal when the check-in signal is received, and change the light source from the second color to a third color when the check-out signal is received.

Abstract: A system to visually select a wireless process automation transmitter using a smart glass device is provided. The wireless process automation transmitter is preconfigured with transmitter identification data and transmitter location data relative to a reference location. The wireless process automation transmitter is configured to wirelessly broadcast the transmitter identification data and the transmitter location data. The smart glass device is preconfigured with smart glass device location data relative to the reference location. The smart glass device is configured to: update the smart glass device location data based on movement of the smart glass device; determine an orientation angle of the smart glass device; select the wireless process automation transmitter based on the transmitter location data, the smart glass device location data, and the orientation angle; wirelessly receive a status from the wireless process automation transmitter; and display the status on the smart glass device.
