People Counting | IoT Technologies

Transforming your facilities into smart buildings offers many advantages. By installing IoT-enabled people counting devices above building entrances and in key rooms, you can accurately measure footfall and occupancy. This means you can adapt the lighting, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVACs) to the number of people detected in each room.

Benefits of deploying people counting devices, sensors and IoT technology systems:

You can drastically reduce your energy bill and carbon footprint, but good working conditions – and higher air quality – will also improve concentration and productivity. Increased comfort will also be valued by visitors and customers alike. All this can be enabled, in real-time, by data from people counting devices.

For office buildings, people counting solutions offer extra advantages. They can help business owners to identify overused or underused spaces and give insights into space optimization. This means potential savings on rent and increased real estate efficiency, adjusting your floor space to better meet the needs of your business.

Installing people counting devices in indoor public areas also enables you to understand peaks and troughs in visitor traffic. You can then use the data to adapt staffing schedules to meet demand during busy periods and reduce staffing levels at quieter moments of the day. This is particularly useful for waiting rooms, town halls, post offices, convention centers, museums, swimming pools, and organizations offering services to the public.

You can also prevent overcrowding by alerting potential visitors when you are at full capacity, enticing them to visit later. This can help manage queues and waiting times for public services, popular attractions, and dining places whilst also reducing visitor frustration. The same system could also be used to trigger invitations when the place is quieter, smoothing out the peaks and troughs.
