Problem
Many organizations lack real-time insights into how their spaces are being utilized, leading to inefficient space management and an inability to optimize layouts for actual occupancy patterns. Traditional people-counting solutions often require complex installations, are battery-powered, and can be costly to deploy across numerous spaces.
Solution
Density's Waffle is a self-installable radar sensor that provides real-time, anonymous people counting for spaces like meeting rooms, flex spaces, phone booths, and desks. The sensor offers a plug-and-play experience, enabling organizations to quickly monitor space utilization without complex setup or battery maintenance. Data is accessible through a real-time and historical API with less than one-second latency, allowing for immediate insights and integration with wayfinding and analytics platforms. The sensor counts 0, 1, 2, or 3+ people with a 140° field of view and adjustable 18ft range.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes organizations looking to optimize space utilization, including workplace designers, occupancy planners, and companies of all sizes seeking accessible data.
