Problem
Existing passive infrared (PIR) sensors in lighting and HVAC systems often trigger false positives due to environmental factors or prolonged linger times, leading to wasted energy and inefficient space utilization. Traditional motion sensors lack the intelligence to accurately count people, track their location, or reliably detect occupancy.
Solution
Sentistic enhances standard PIR sensors with integrated AI technology to provide accurate people counting, anonymous location tracking, and reliable occupancy detection. The system learns from its environment to avoid false triggers, ensuring that lighting and HVAC systems are activated only when spaces are actually occupied. By providing insights into building utilization, Sentistic enables organizations to optimize space management and reduce energy consumption. The technology integrates seamlessly with existing building management platforms through a standard API.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes architects and building integrators focused on creating energy-efficient and smart buildings, as well as facility managers seeking to optimize space utilization and reduce operational costs.
