How people counting brings innovation and efficiency to facilities management
Improve space use
By accurately tracking the number of people entering and exiting designated areas within a facility, building managers can gain insights into how spaces are being utilized. This data can inform decisions about layout changes, seating arrangements, and resource allocation to maximize space efficiency.
Resource allocation
People counting technology can help facility managers allocate resources more effectively. For example, if certain areas consistently experience high foot traffic at specific times of day, managers can schedule cleaning, maintenance, or security personnel accordingly to ensure optimal coverage without overstaffing.
Better security
People counting technology can enhance security measures by providing real-time data on the number of people in different areas. This information can help identify and respond to potential security threats or emergencies more quickly and effectively.
Enhance customer and visitor experience
In retail environments or public facilities, people counting technology can be used to analyze customer flow patterns and identify areas where improvements can be made to enhance the overall experience. For example, managers can use data on peak traffic times to adjust staffing levels or streamline checkout processes to reduce wait times.
Occupancy monitoring
With the rise of flexible working arrangements and hot-desking in office environments, people counting technology can help monitor occupancy levels in real-time. This information can be used to ensure compliance with occupancy limits, track workspace utilization, and facilitate desk booking systems.
Energy efficiency
By accurately tracking occupancy levels, facilities managers can implement more precise heating, cooling, and lighting controls based on actual demand rather than estimated usage. This can lead to significant energy savings and reduce operational costs.
Data-driven decision making
People counting technology provides valuable data that can be used for strategic decision-making. By analyzing trends and patterns in foot traffic, managers can make informed decisions about staffing, space allocation, and facility space layout to optimize efficiency and productivity.
Overall, people counting technology offers facilities managers a powerful tool for improving operational efficiency, enhancing security, and providing better experiences for both employees and visitors.
People counters from Terabee
Terabee Time-of-Flight and thermal infrared people counters offer accurate data collection, GDPR compliance, and numerous opportunities for innovation and efficiency in facilities management, ranging from resource allocation and space optimization to energy efficiency gains and security enhancement.
With its wide area coverage and using the latest thermal technology, Terabee People Occupancy Counting is a GDPR-compliant-by-design device, which is ideal to optimize large spaces such as open plan offices and coworking areas. By sensing thermal signature, Terabee People Occupancy Counting uses non-intrusive, anonymous heat source image data. Personal identity can never be captured.
The Terabee People Flow Counting L-XL and People Flow Counting M 2.0 focus on the movement and patterns of people within a space, rather than just the count. These devices are ideal for optimizing space utilization, reducing energy consumption, improving customer experiences and navigation.
