Not everyone works in an office or remotely from home. Especially during but also after the pandemic, the many people who work in retail or catering deserve special protection measures, which in turn also protect customers. The all-in-one IoT solution SafeSpace+ helps to monitor the number of people in a confined space, control access and maintain healthy CO2 levels with the help of sensors - without violating the GDPR. Construction sites, production facilities, museums, event venues or meeting rooms can benefit from the easy-to-integrate solution, even after the pandemic.
Forgotten your chip or coins for the shopping trolley again and now no entry to the supermarket? How about an alternative to the compulsory shopping trolley? Supporting gastronomy, culture and other businesses for a safe (re)opening is also very easy thanks to this new solution. The People Counting Solution from ALSO comes in different versions for this purpose:
1. Counting camera with integrated sensor technology as an offline solution
This version of the People Counting solution stores the counting data internally. The camera used creates a 3D height profile and the respective counting area is configured graphically. In order to exclude certain objects such as prams from the count, the object height can be set individually. People who leave the area to be monitored immediately after entering can also be excluded from the count. One camera covers entrances up to 5 metres wide. An extension of up to seven cameras next to each other is easily possible - this is particularly interesting for event locations. A monitor can be connected directly via HDMI
2. SafeSpace+
This solution combines sensors, connectivity and digital signage. Through the connection with the ALSO IoT Platform, not only can the historical data of the people counters be stored and analysed, but additional sensors can also be connected. In this way, for example, the air quality of premises or the occupancy of workplaces can also be brought into focus and quickly optimised. Even the occupancy of parking spaces can be added to the overall solution. Digital signage can be used optionally with every variant, but is by no means a must. If the capacity limit is exceeded, instead of visualisation via display, notifications can also be sent to individual employees, for example by e-mail.
Quickly installed, easy to use, maximally secure: despite - or perhaps because of - its simplicity, the People Counting Solution contributes to gradual normal operation in retail, catering or offices. Existing IT security measures are not impaired at any time thanks to the provision detached from the existing network.
Moreover, the camera used does not record, but recognises people and only stores the access differences. Thus, personal data is not an issue, which makes this solution fully compatible with the applicable rules of the DSGVO. Billing in the subscription model, i.e. at fixed monthly rates, makes the deployment and the associated costs flexible and precisely plannable. The People Counting Solution from ALSO is easy on all levels.
The use of digital signage in this solution has even more advantages than simply providing information on "go or stand". The increased attention at the entrance can be optimally used for the communication of service and advertising messages! Optional software can also be used to display customised advertisements in no time at all.
