Maximize efficiency and streamline operations with advanced IoT technologies for real-time occupancy monitoring and space utilization insights.
Overview
Occupancy & Space Utilization Sensors are essential tools for modern building management, offering real-time insights into how spaces are utilized across different environments. These sensors monitor and analyze occupancy patterns in offices, retail spaces, hotels, residential buildings, and more. By tracking the presence and movement of people, these systems help organizations optimize floor plans, enhance energy efficiency, and improve overall user experience. Real Estate IoT provides advanced, scalable IoT technologies that empower businesses to make data-driven decisions about space utilization. Our sensors deliver actionable insights that enable smarter building management, including automated adjustments to lighting, HVAC, and other systems based on real-time occupancy data. Serving the B2B market across North America, we are dedicated to delivering privacy-conscious, high-
