IAconnects integrates with OPTEX's Akribos people counter to monitor the occupancy status in any office or commercial building including retail outlets with the option to display the instruction on a third-party screen and to integrate with other devices (traffic light, door, booking / office management systems).
The solution comprises our OPTEX people counting sensor VC-1020, WiFi Gateway including IAconnects MobiusFlow software and display units mounted by the doors. A web-based dashboard also provides an instant overview of the overall building status. The new solutions from IAconnects respond to the social distancing requirements as a consequence of the Coronavirus pandemic and help businesses manage occupancy levels.
The Social Distancing Room Management solution monitors the people count and prevents overcrowding of the office communal areas such as toilets, pantry and meeting areas. The system informs via a wall-mount display unit whether occupany level is acceptable for the individual to access a particular area or advises of 'no entry' if the occupancy limit has been reached. An alert can be set to 'requires cleaning' status can also be set to alert building maintenance once the people flow count reaches a certain limit. As part of the smart building integration a web-based dashboard is available to provide an instant overview of the overall building status.
