What makes our Entry Sensors so powerful?
Rich, real-time data
with unparalleled accuracy
XY Sense captures sightings down to 1ft (30cm) every 2 seconds with no lag time, delivering intelligence way beyond the simple counting of people at desks. Drive long-term workplace ROI with real-time occupancy data feeds that support more use cases; such as sensor-driven space booking/hoteling, wayfinding and more.
Wider coverage
= a lower total cost
XY Sense is proven to require 2-3x fewer sensors for whole floor coverage vs. competitive products resulting in a lower total cost of ownership (TOC). With a massive per sensor coverage range of 1000 sq ft or up to 20 desks, you can monitor more space for less cost with XY Sense. And never at the cost of accuracy.
100% Private & anonymous
With XY Sense workplace sensors, only XY coordinates are captured as movements on a floor plan, ensuring anonymity and privacy of your entire team. Each sensor runs a proprietary custom neural network, which processes anonymous scene information on the XY Sense device in real-time. With no images saved or sent, security is guaranteed
Smarter install options
The XY Sense proprietary technology allows multiple sensors to be ‘daisy-chained’ together during installation to draw power and data from a single source. This means no managed switches required, no ongoing battery maintenance costs and 80% less cabling when compared to a traditional Power over Ethernet (PoE) installation.
Enterprise grade
entry sensor privacy & security
Designed for privacy first and with robust security best practices.
Processing is performed on-device on our AI-powered Entry Sensors with no images saved or sent during normal operation. Data from an activated sensor includes only a fully anonymized entry/exit event triggered whenever an entry is crossed.
Scalable entry insights with minimal sensors deployed
XY Sense Analytics informs strategic portfolio planning and proactive management of your office space with minimal sensors deployed.
Access whole-of-portfolio insights with typically one Entry sensor installed per standard entrance. Powerful occupancy analytics in a single platform when combined with our Area sensor.
Ensure safe and well-maintained offices
Access real-time and proactive monitoring of your buildings and floors for safe and productive office experiences. And with XY Sense, there are no annoying chimes or impact on your access control, alarm protocols, or security system components.
Better predict attendance, maintain compliance with legal capacity limits and efficiently schedule facilities and cleaning services for peak usage periods.
Smarter install options
Designed with ESG in mind, choose the SenseLink daisy chain deployment to reduce cabling and installation cost and complexity. Get complete coverage regardless of the number of door frames and other egress points, and with no impact from window light or treatments.
The XY Sense Entry Sensor is a wired solution with no battery waste. Deploy via traditional device configuration or XY Sense’s proprietary SenseLink daisy chain installation connecting multiple sensors together to draw power and data from a single source.
