Adapt, Prepare and Provision for Today's Way of Working

A number of factors influence the modern work environment, including an increase in work-from-home days and remote employees. In a fluid setting such as this that continues to evolve, facility directors and managers, as well as their counterparts in IT and physical security, have a difficult time understanding the number of people occupying the building or where they are located.

A complement to your Physical Access Control System, Building Occupancy Management delivers immediate value, streamlines analysis, and speeds decision making by providing reliable, real-time information through a trusted identity in the form of a BLE Beacon Badge and card credential. The solution provides an intuitive dashboard with reporting capabilities, including real-time and historical reporting by location in any specified timeframe. Determine when and where to allocate resources, get alerts if an unauthorized individual enters a virtual zone, and know where occupants are located—especially in the event of an emergency.

Prepare for Emergencies

Smart planning can help ensure a fast response if an emergency arises. Building Occupancy Management provides the location of employees and visitors through a live view. In the event of a crisis, this capabilty provides instant information to security personnel and first responders regarding who and how many occupants are on each floor. In addition, view occupancy per floor to maintain compliance.

Note Entry and Exit

Extend the efficiency of your access control system by detecting the number of people who enter a secure premises. Building Occupancy (continued)

Management does not depend on policies, security revolving doors or turnstiles that detect ingress or egress of one person at a time. Instead, it observes entries and exits into a building, a floor or an area, even entries through an access control point without proper credentials, providing insight into whether "tailgating" or "piggybacking" is problematic.

In addition, receive instant, last-known location data or awareness of the number of people on a floor or in a virtual zone. This allows you to proactively plan for emergencies, including taking necessary precautions to safeguard personnel and mitigate property risk. Compliance is made simpler when historical reporting is available on employee or visitor whereabouts should secure, private or confidential information be compromised.

Specify Virtual Zones

The flexible cloud platform delivers real-time location analytics that enable easy management and location of workplace beacons. Generate location history reports and create automated alerts and event notifications when a specific person has either entered or left a designated area.

Understand Occupancy

Gone are the days of the quarterly on-site occupancy capture and the lengthy process of compiling and analysis. Organizations can go beyond location awareness and quickly analyze occupancy rates to optimize operational efficiency. In addition, Building Occupancy Management allows you to visually identify visitors and employees, as well as access information on historical space and room utilization over time. This visibility helps with health and safety legislation compliance, like maximum room occupancy regulations.
