With the hoyez-eBeam partition, HOYEZ is launching its new range of smart partitions

HOYEZ is launching a new partition wall made with eBeam© technology. No need to install presentation equipment in your conference rooms; HOYEZ now integrates it directly into the partition wall. This innovation is the brainchild of the RASEC International group, an SME that designs and manufactures movable partition systems for commercial and industrial applications.

With its interactive whiteboard, short-throw projector, and no visible cables, the new Hoyez-eBeam partition brings practicality and modernity to your conference rooms. Saving time and space, and offering a sleek design, the Hoyez-eBeam partition offers numerous benefits for users. Today, thanks to HOYEZ, the partition goes beyond its simple function (organizing space) and becomes an interactive and ultra-modern presentation tool.

The hoyez-eBeam partition, the first “intelligent” partition

Today, most companies have meeting rooms. They are looking for simple, practical, and innovative solutions to optimize the layout of their rooms while improving their presentation efficiency. Faced with this observation, HOYEZ decided to rethink these workspace layout systems by developing a new type of partition: "smart" partitions. The first of this new range: hoyez-eBeam. The first partition that integrates all the elements necessary for a presentation. Much more than a partition designed to organize the space, the hoyez-eBeam partition becomes a work tool for the user.

« With the hoyez-eBeam partition, we redesigned the meeting room in its entirety.", says Stéphanie Bricout, marketing director of the HOYEZ company. "Until now, the choice of a partition was made based on its technical properties: sound or thermal insulation power, design... At HOYEZ, we wanted the intrinsic qualities of the product to no longer be the only selection criterion. We decided to integrate service into our partitions, so that our products bring a new benefit to the user.", explains Stéphanie Bricout.

With the Hoyez-eBeam partition, the challenge is a success! The user has ultra-modern presentation equipment fully integrated into the partition.

Conference room, classroom, showroom... the hoyez-eBeam partition adapts to any type of space. Flexible and modular, it can be installed as a partition wall or as a wall lining, that is, to cover an existing wall and transform it into an interactive presentation tool.

More than a partition, a presentation tool

No more flipcharts, roll-up screens or overhead projectors; the Hoyez-eBeam partition incorporates all the elements needed for a good presentation:

• A whiteboard for writing, projecting and even hanging documents thanks to its magnetic surface. Thanks to the sensor integrated into the partition and the software provided, the board also transforms into an interactive board.

• An NEC “3D” interactive ultra-short throw projector that provides a large format image without any shadows due to positioning.

• A power strip offering all the necessary connectors for connecting the computer to the video projector: VGA, Jack 3.5, USB, 2P+T (power supply). This is connected to an electrical column. An advantage both from an aesthetic point of view and in terms of ease of installation. No need to run the cables through the ceiling or floor, they are all gathered in the electrical column.

• A rail system for hanging all the accessories that make presentation easier. For example: a shelf for placing the computer, a pencil holder, etc.

The hoyez-eBeam partition, born from the complementarity of two partners

To offer these interactive presentation solutions, HOYEZ relies on the expertise of its digital partner, Speechi, a specialist in presentation and training tools. "HOYEZ brings its expertise in partitioning, and we bring interactivity," says Thierry Klein, director of Speechi. "We were impressed by their approach. With the hoyez-eBeam partition, HOYEZ has developed a new application for our product," concludes Thierry Klein. Speechi provides the sensor and stylus that make the whiteboard interactive. The company has also developed software for presenting, sharing, and saving presentation sessions. For more details on how the hardware works: www.speechi.net/fr/.

A market with strong potential

Launched in early 2012 as a test system, the hoyez-eBeam partition has already attracted around ten companies, who have decided to equip their meeting rooms with this new system. HOYEZ, convinced of the potential of this new partition, is aiming to sell around one hundred units by the end of the year. The official launch of the hoyez-eBeam partition will take place in June 2012.

HOYEZ isn't stopping there and plans to expand this new range. New prototypes of smart partitions are under development. Their goal: to create collective living spaces while offering users even more services.
