Tap Into the Innovation of Butlr’s Area Sensor Technology

Butlr is the first context-aware architecture think tank. To ensure privacy, we develop sensor networks that capture all human activities utilizing AI and sensory monitoring. We aim to deliver the next-level context-driven responsive architecture and create customizable environments using intelligent architectural objects. Our area sensor technology propels this vision.

‍

Butlr’s area sensors are cost-effective and compact. We design our sensors to monitor the presence and activities of people within a specific space. Every human emits a unique biometric heat signature that can be traced back to them as a fingerprint.

Our sensors can detect individuals' unique biometric signatures and make various adjustments, like changing the room temperature for maximum comfort. They can also control lighting systems, ensuring that energy is used only when space is occupied and there’s a need for light.

Butlr’s area sensors are innovative solutions for boosting the functionality and efficiency of intelligent buildings. Here’s how:

• Data insights for better planning: Butler sensors provide occupancy analytics that facility managers can use to improve comfort, make design or leasing decisions, and forecast space requirements.
• Easy integration with intelligent BMS: Our area sensors integrate seamlessly with building management systems, allowing for a unified overview and control of all building systems. That allows you to add new intelligent solutions with ease.
• Efficient space utilization: One of the characteristics of intelligent buildings is that they maximize resource efficiency and minimize waste using smart, automated systems. With our area sensors, managers get accurate data on the occupancy of the area, allowing the efficient use of all systems.

Our area sensors utilize advanced thermal sensing technology, which detects and measures heat signatures instead of optical technology. This technology delivers high detection accuracy for standing and moving objects.

Butlr’s area sensors are adaptable to small and large environments and flexible for various applications. Facilities can use our sensors in confined spaces, rooms, or offices and in open-plan areas like storage areas, retail spaces, etc. There’s no need for calibration, regardless of the size of the space where the sensors are implemented.

Our sensors have a compact and efficient design with a small footprint. They can be used in common areas, lobbies, and entrances without any obstruction, making them perfect for tracking movement and visitor presence in real-time. That allows managers to understand occupancy and traffic patterns without affecting the guests.

‍

Butlr’s area sponsors are essential for optimizing retail and workspace areas by giving real-time occupancy information. Here are their main applications:

Applications in retail and workplace optimization

By efficiently occupying different spaces, companies can streamline office layout decisions, improve employee productivity, and reduce energy waste.

They can also help organize staffing needs based on occupancy and reduce wait times using real-time adjustments. Retail managers can utilize automatic notifications when spaces are overcrowded to improve customer flow and avoid bottlenecks.

Security and logistics applications

Our sensors also help improve security and logistics operations. They can be placed at strategic locations and trigger alerts in case of unauthorized presence. They can also track movement outside of the facility and prevent breaches before they happen.

Organizations operating in multiple locations can use all of these capabilities. In addition to tracking people, our sensors can also monitor asset availability and movement, helping improve loading dock efficiency, inventory monitoring, and warehouse utilization.

Position tracking and visitor analytics applications

Butlr’s area sensors can also directly improve the overall user experience. Retailers can utilize real-time data to optimize product placement and position them in high-value zones to maximize visibility and sales.

Retailers can also analyze movement patterns to create smoother shopping and checkout experiences. Offices can better understand how their employees use space to adjust layouts and improve workflow.

Here are some of the key advantages of using our sensors:

• They allow you to see what is happening within your spaces without jeopardizing your employees' or customers' privacy and anonymity. Our systems make your facilities “people aware” without capturing their faces or saving personal data.
• They give organizations multi-faceted benefits, including reduced costs, improved operational efficiency, reinforced security, and better strategic decision-making.
• They capture the tiniest movements and offer a critical level of accuracy. They provide a consistent data flow necessary for making timely decisions like improving operations, managing presence, resource allocation, and monitoring occupancy.

As you can see, these sensors offer quite a few useful benefits.

Our sensors are designed to cover broad areas and capture activities that access diverse and large spaces. They utilize innovative light-detection technology to detect and monitor movement from different angles, ensuring no area or movement is overlooked.

They can adapt to any angle or building layout for consistent performance. Butlr’s sensors also have reflector technology, which means they use the reflecting surface light to detect objects within spaces, ensuring more precision even in cluttered areas.

Our sensors are small and unobtrusive, but they can be integrated anywhere and perform consistently because of their high-precision technology and quality. Our devices are a testament to subtlety, durability, and innovation.

Butlr’s sensor platform provides real-time data collection, and organizations can access real-time insights into environmental metrics, movement, and occupancy. All the data is collected and stored in the cloud with utmost scalability, meaning users can adjust storage according to their needs.

Since all of the data is in the cloud, it allows easy access, report generation, performance reviews, and trend tracking. The platform also has customizable dashboards that allow you to display key metrics more clearly and perform easier analysis.

Organizations can identify and analyze issues, underutilized areas, and peak time to perform optimization. The platform also lets you track historical trends and track patterns. With predictive AI analytics, organizations can forecast future patterns and trends. Butlr’s platform can be easily integrated with any building management system.

We offer a wide range of sensors suitable for different areas in size, layouts, and specific goals. Here are some of the factors you should consider when selecting the right option:

• If you want to cover smaller areas or objects, pick sensors designed for precise monitoring, offering a more focused detection range. On the other hand, if you plan on installing sensors in larger areas, use sensors with a longer detection range.
• If you have spaces with consistent layouts, go with fixed-angle sensors. However, if your area is dynamic, like a retail space, use sensors with customizable angles.
• Determine the size of the objects or parts that need to be monitored. For smaller objects, use high-precision sensors and choose wider detection sensors for larger ones.
• Consider the environment in which you’ll be using your sensors. Butlr offers different sensor categories specialized for retail spaces, care facilities, smart buildings, and workplace areas.

There are plenty of options, so take your time and choose carefully.
