Benefits of compact footfall sensors in counting applications
Terabee Time-of-Flight footfall sensor technology provides accurate monitoring for cost-saving results.
Optimizing the use of space is one key way for businesses to save money and drastically reduce costs. Research has shown that the amount of space used can be reduced by up to 30% for many businesses, with the potential to save thousands in rental and cost of utilities.
Footfall counting sensor technology is available to identify under-occupied areas and enable better use of them. The first step to optimizing space is to understand precisely how an area is used via robust methods and technology for counting and tracking people. Such footfall sensors not only inform space optimization but can control temperature settings, adjust lighting or alter other environmental factors to correspond to room occupancy, which results in lower utility bills. In retail businesses, footfall sensors can be used to count customer footfall and thus optimize the layout of a store.
Terabee used footfall sensors to optimize space on our own premises
To facilitate the development of the best solutions for these issues, Terabee carried out analysis of personnel flow on our own premises. Monitoring movement of people in and out of the building and the use of common spaces such as meeting and call rooms allowed us to improve staff planning, optimize the use of premises and understand whether our current space is fit for purpose.
Our internal footfall sensors may already be up and running, but we aren’t done yet! We’d like to connect footfall counting data to our heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to reduce our energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint.

Reducing energy expenditure and carbon footprint with Terabee footfall sensors
Transforming your facilities into smart buildings offers many advantages. By installing Terabee footfall sensors 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. All this can be enabled, in real-time, by data from footfall counting devices.
3D technology provides safe and accurate solutions for footfall counting
By using our 3D Time-of-Flight technology, you can get more reliable and accurate counting data, especially if you have large doors, wide areas to cover or need to operate in low light, or even dark, environments. Furthermore, compared to laser systems, our technology is always eye-safe! Analytics are provided via an online app accessible from anywhere. A user-friendly dashboard provides access to footfall counting data arranged according to your needs.
Smart buildings can benefit businesses and households alike
Businesses with a physical presence such as retail, banking, insurance, car dealerships, and malls can benefit from accurate footfall counting to measure footfall and optimize their stores’ layout. If several devices are installed to cover a whole room, then our 3D cameras can also be used to measure how much time is spent in different areas such as aisles, desks, waiting for lines or point of sale assets.
The success of smart sensing elements, like 3D ToF Sensors, is by no means confined to business and industrial environments. Over 200 million households in Europe are expected to have installed smart energy meters by 2023, providing tangible energy savings and long-term cost reductions in domestic gas and electricity bills.

3D ToF footfall technology innovating human flow analysis
Time-of-Flight technology is cost-effective, compact, and lightweight. Unlike other footfall counting solutions (eg RGB camera systems), it is able to operate in darkness, and allows for complete privacy protection at all times, ensuring non-intrusive data collection regardless of your application. Data is pushed every minute to the analytics dashboard via ethernet with a minimum of 98% accuracy.
Our footfall counting system has been installed in an Italian gambling hall, providing analysis and understanding of customer behavior for business optimization and marketing purposes, in addition to more efficient staff planning and security.
Some initial difficulties encountered with software development, connectivity and stability of data were overcome to create reliable cost and energy-saving solutions. We work together with clients to develop a system to suit their specific requirements and have installed successful systems for clients with premises ranging from local government offices, congress centers, casinos, and even public transport.
