A global medical device company used Butlr’s privacy-first thermal sensors across six sites to gain real-time occupancy insights without cameras or personal data. The solution was deployed in as little as one week, integrated with Tableau and enterprise AI tools, and now supports lab planning, equipment reservations, and smart cleaning decisions.

A fast-growing global AI company replaced manual workplace occupancy counts with Butlr's privacy-first sensor platform to gain a single, reliable source of truth across six offices in the US and Europe. By centralizing real-time occupancy data, the company improved space planning, food service operations, and facility management while enabling smarter, data-driven decisions at scale.

In luxury retail the fitting room is where purchasing decisions are made. Historically, it is the least measured space because capturing relevant information to drive sales compromised privacy. Until now. Read how anonymous thermal sensing transforms the retail fitting room into a lucrative, shopper-driven experiences with the potential to realize a 20x improvement in ROI per square foot.

With U.S. data center electricity use projected to double by 2030, largely driven by AI, and HVAC consuming 25 to 40% of energy spend, cooling for worst-case load is increasingly expensive. Discover how thermal sensing matches cooling to actual demand instead of assumed demand, delivering a 20 to 30% improvement in energy efficiency.

Labs are among the most capital-intensive spaces in commercial real estate, yet fixed schedules and badge swipes leave leaders making multi-million dollar lease, safety, and compliance calls with limited visibility. See how anonymous thermal sensing captures motion, dwell time, and proximity to restricted zones without cameras, including a manufacturer that avoided an unnecessary lease after finding 30% utilization.

Campus cleaning and HVAC cycles are often based on fixed schedules instead of how campus buildings are used by students, faculty, and administrators. With a steady ebb and flow of traffic in buildings throughout the day, fixed schedules are inefficient, costly, and put unnecessary strains on systems. Thermal based sensing has proven to support load balancing of high energy demands and foster cleaner, more productive learning and work environments. One university reports maintenance savings of $1400 per restroom per year.

Badge swipes and desk reservations tell you who showed up, not how the office actually gets used. Learn how thermal sensing anonymously captures and infers human actions and interactions. And how it transforms occupancy patterns into smarter office layouts.

The flagship report on the spatial intelligence gap, drawing on a 2026 survey of 400 U.S. decision makers to show how a lack of reliable usage data costs organizations across five sectors. Covers workplaces, higher education, corporate labs, data centers, and luxury retail, and how privacy-first thermal sensing closes the gap without cameras.
