Occupancy Echo - XY Sense Displays

Your workplace displays should show what's actually free

Occupancy Echo adds the missing state: Away

Most occupancy sensor platforms only recognize two states: Available or Occupied.
But an empty desk isn’t always a free desk.

Someone steps away for a coffee or a meeting. The desk is empty, but it’s not available. Passive occupancy detection gaps can mean the space reappears as available — and the next person who walks over finds it’s already taken.

1

Know what's genuinely available, not just what looks empty

Time-based, passive occupancy detection distinguishes between a temporarily empty desk from one that's truly free — so your team can find a space with confidence.

2

The floor changes. The display changes. In two seconds.

A lot can change in 4 minutes. Occupancy Echo updates your XY Sense Displays in under two seconds, powered by ~99% detection accuracy. No lagging "last updated" timestamps. Occupancy Echo keeps your floor maps in sync with what's happening right now.

XY Sense delivers Occupancy Displays your team can trust

Inaccurate availability erodes employee confidence in workplace experience and wayfinding tools. Occupancy Echo keeps your space availability displays accurate so people actually rely on the tools you've invested in.

Why choose Occupancy Echo and XY Sense for your workplace displays?

Built on XY Sense ~99% detection accuracy

XY Sense anonymously locates people on a floor plan to within 15cm in under two seconds, updating your XY Sense displays just as fast. The most reliable passive occupancy detection on the market.

It can't be fooled by a coffee cup left behind

Some systems rely on object-based occupancy signs of life  (i.e a coffee cup, a laptop, a bag) to determine if a desk is taken. The problem? Objects don’t leave. People do.

Occupancy Echo combines XY Sense’s market-leading accuracy, proprietary AI detection and time-based logic to track people, not things — determining whether a space is genuinely free. Your XY Sense displays update seamlessly between Available, Away and Occupied, based on what’s actually happening on your floor.
