Optimize Your Square Footage. Reduce Energy Waste. Enhance Workplace Experience.

The Cost of Empty Space

In the modern hybrid-work era, up to 40% of corporate office space remains underutilized on any given day. Heating, cooling, and lighting empty desks isn’t just a waste of money—it’s a major barrier to your sustainability goals.

Our Smart Occupancy Monitoring System provides anonymous, real-time data on how your facility is actually being used. We turn your building’s “static” floor plan into a live heatmap of activity, allowing you to make high-stakes real estate decisions with total confidence.

Actionable Intelligence for Modern Facilities

✓ True Space Utilization Tracking

Stop relying on badge-swipes, which only tell you who entered the building. Our sensors track real-time presence in conference rooms, huddle spaces, and individual workstations.

The Predictive Advantage: Identify peak usage trends. If your “Quiet Zones” are always at 90% capacity while your “Collaboration Hubs” stay empty, you have the data to reconfigure your layout without a costly consultant.

✓ Demand-Controlled Energy Savings

Why light and cool an entire floor for three employees?

Automated HVAC & Lighting: Integrate with your BMS to automatically dim lights and reduce airflow in vacant zones, cutting energy costs by up to 20%.

✓ Frictionless Desk & Room Booking

Eliminate “Ghost Meetings”—rooms that are booked on the calendar but remain empty.

Auto-Release Technology: If a sensor detects no motion in a booked room after 10 minutes, it automatically releases the room back into the pool for other employees to use.

✓ Anonymous & Private by Design

Our sensors utilize PIR (Passive Infrared) technology and an RGB camera with embedded AI algorithms to detect presence with up to 95% detection accuracy. We track activity, not individuals, ensuring 100% compliance with privacy regulations and employee comfort.

Cutting-Edge Sensor Technology

  • Desk Sensors: Small, “peel-and-stick” PIR sensors that detect if a workstation is currently occupied.
  • Area Counters: Overhead sensors that count the number of people entering or exiting a cafeteria, lobby, or auditorium.
  • LoRaWAN® Connectivity: No need to join the corporate Wi-Fi. Our sensors use long-range, encrypted signals that penetrate multiple floors and heavy construction.
  • 5-Year Battery Life: Minimize maintenance with ultra-low-power hardware designed for “set it and forget it” deployment.

Occupancy Monitoring FAQ

Q: Does this system track individual employees?

A: No. Our system is built on anonymity. It detects and transmits the number of individuals within a room. Video data is not transmitted nor stored but instead is used by an AI algorithm to detect the number of individuals. The number of individuals is then transmitted from the sensor.

Q: Can this data be used to downsize our office?

A: Many of our clients use this data to identify “Dead Zones.” This allows them to consolidate their footprint, sublease unused floors, or transition to a highly efficient hybrid-hoteling model.

Q: How does it handle pets or robotic vacuums?

A: Our smart sensors analyze the image of the room and determine with a 95% accuracy whether the presence is a person or not.
