Workplace occupancy sensors that right-size real estate costs without cameras

Workplace occupancy sensors measure how many people use a space and when. Real estate, facilities, and workplace teams use the data to right-size portfolios, plan space, cut energy waste, and schedule cleaning. Butlr's sensors do this anonymously with thermal sensing, across offices, campuses, labs, and stores.

Butlr sensors read body heat, not images. Each sensor captures low-resolution thermal data, and AI turns it into counts, presence, and movement patterns. Because the sensor cannot capture faces or identities, privacy is built into the hardware rather than added later in software.

No. Butlr sensors collect no personally identifiable information. There are no cameras, no badges, and no Wi-Fi or phone tracking. The data is anonymous from the moment it is captured, so there is nothing to blur or anonymize afterward.

Butlr's wireless sensor mounts magnetically, needs no wiring, and runs for years on battery, so teams can cover a floor or a full portfolio without construction work. A wired option is available for permanent installations using the same sensor hardware.

Butlr is used in corporate offices, commercial buildings, university campuses, corporate labs, and retail stores, and powers demand-based cleaning across all of them. More than 30,000 Butlr sensors are deployed in 22 countries.

Camera-based sensors capture images and rely on software to remove identities. Butlr's thermal sensors never capture images at all, which makes them easier to approve with legal, IT security, and works councils, and better suited to privacy-sensitive spaces like labs, healthcare, and shared offices.

Yes. Butlr is API-first and offers integrations with 20+ workplace, building management, and analytics platforms, so occupancy data can feed space planning, energy, and cleaning tools teams already use.
