Footfall is a key management indicator for public-access areas (ERP). However, the data needed to calculate an occupancy rate, such as the number of visitors compared to a venue's capacity, is often only available at a macroscopic level.
Continuously measure the occupancy of your public-access spaces and trigger the right actions with ACS-Switch-PIR® and ACS-Switch-PIR-TOF® sensors
In a shopping mall, museum, train station, or airport terminal, knowing the exact number of visitors present, and their direction of movement, directly impacts reception, safety, and service quality: optimized queue management, cleaning triggered at the right time, and air conditioning adjusted to actual load.
Yet, available data is often too general and not actionable at the scale of a corridor, floor, or restroom.
Challenges of real-time footfall monitoring
Insufficient macroscopic view : counting at the building entrance doesn’t reveal distribution in critical areas.
Complex installation : video solutions require cabling, power supply, and costly network infrastructure.
Limited responsiveness : without detailed measurement, FM teams act on a fixed schedule—sometimes too late, or unnecessarily.
Ineo‑Sense's answer : wireless, accurate, and discreet detection
ACS-Switch-PIR® infrared sensors Installed above doorways or on the ceiling, they count passages and detect movement direction; a pair of sensors can distinguish entry from exit, and therefore calculate the actual number of people in the area.
ACS-Switch-PIR-TOF® distance sensors As a complement, Time-of-Flight technology measures the distance to the floor or threshold; used alongside the PIR sensor, it eliminates double counting and confirms direction.
Cable-free installation Mount, configure, done. The sensors transmit directly via LoRaWAN or Clover-Net, with several years of battery life. Data is sent in real time to your FM platform or analytics tool.
Immediate impact
Improved visitor experience Live display of updated waiting times. Dynamic resizing of queues or opening of additional checkouts.
Performance-driven Facility Management Shift from a “3 cleanings per day” contract to a “restrooms always clean” guarantee: interventions triggered only after x passages or y minutes of cumulative occupancy. Precise planning of security patrols based on actual crowd density.
Energy savings Ventilation, lighting, or air conditioning adjusted according to measured occupancy rates, rather than theoretical schedules.
Reliable reporting Proof-of-service for your clients or HSE teams, thanks to timestamped history. Instant capacity vs. regulatory capacity to manage crowd flow during event peaks.
