Lab occupancy sensors that improve utilization before you expand or consolidate

Run your lab space on real occupancy, not assumptions

Corporate labs are some of the most capital-intensive environments in real estate, yet most organizations still rely on schedules, badge data, or manual audits to understand how labs are actually used. Butlr delivers high-fidelity occupancy intelligence without cameras or personally identifiable information, making it ideal for sensitive and regulated lab environments.

Why measure lab utilization?

Labs are among the most expensive spaces to build and run, yet most organizations size them from schedules, badge data, or manual audits. Measured occupancy shows which labs, benches, and shared spaces are actually used, so expansion, consolidation, and reconfiguration decisions rest on evidence.

What does Butlr measure in a lab?

Butlr measures occupancy, dwell time, and traffic flow at the lab, room, and zone level, both in real time and as trends over weeks and months, using anonymous thermal sensors.

Can lab occupancy data lower operating costs?

Yes. Occupancy data shows when lab spaces are actually in use, so facilities teams can align HVAC, cleaning, and maintenance with real demand instead of fixed assumptions.

Does Butlr capture images or personal data in the lab?

No. Butlr sensors read body heat as low-resolution thermal data and cannot capture images, faces, or identities. With no cameras and no personal data, there is less risk around confidential research and an easier path through IT and security review.

Is Butlr SOC 2 compliant?

Yes. Butlr is SOC 2 Type II certified and designed to meet security, IT, and facilities requirements from day one.
