by AF 1012 f3 — October 14, 2009—PeopleCube, provider of intelligent workplace, resource and energy management technology, and CountWise, an industry leader in people-traffic monitoring solutions, have formed a partnership to deliver a real estate management and measurement solution called PeopleCounter.
PeopleCounter enables customers to schedule shared workspace and other corporate assets, track actual utilization of that space with the CountWise Video Imaging/Shape Recognition technology, and measure and analyze the resulting data to discover actual versus planned space utilization. By implementing PeopleCounter, customers are able to understand how real estate is being utilized in order to make educated, cost-saving decisions regarding their real-estate overhead, says the company.
The PeopleCounter solution uses the I-Count people-counting technology from CountWise. With greater than 95 percent accuracy, this stand-alone video-based counting system is the most accurate and dependable product available worldwide, according to the joint announcement. I-Count delivers multi-zone, bi-directional pedestrian traffic counting by combining shape recognition and motion detection in a robust and affordable product.
PeopleCounter integrates I-Count with PeopleCube’s alternative workspace and resource management solution, Resource Scheduler, and Workplace BI, the industry’s first workspace business intelligence tool for tracking and analyzing real-estate utilization.
Customers first use Resource Scheduler to schedule shared workspace and other corporate assets, then I-Count automatically tracks the number of people entering and exiting the scheduled space. The people-counting information is then fed into Workplace BI, where the data are analyzed and measured.
The result is information that lets customers track and analyze not just planned real estate utilization, but actual real estate utilization.
