FLIR Systems has announced the availability of the FLIR Occupancy Management Solution for FLIR Brickstream 3D Gen2 to automate high-traffic and capacity-limited occupancy counting
The occupancy management solution provides organisations with an easy-to-use, real-time capacity counting and display tool for multiple inputs and outputs to support social distancing guidelines during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Many organisations are manually measuring occupancy, but this process is often inaccurate, cumbersome and expensive,” said Paul Clayton, general manager, components business at FLIR Systems.
“FLIR addressed this challenge by introducing a cost-effective, scalable, self-contained, and automated monitoring solution suitable for a variety of locations from grocery stores, stadiums, theatres, transportation hubs, to manufacturing plants, and office spaces,” he added.
The occupancy management solution is an agnostic platform with an integrated IoT architecture that can be implemented within existing Wi-Fi access points, with the Brickstream 3D Gen2 hardware providing a complete edge-based solution. It provides a simple display dashboard for capacity updates that can be viewed on devices running a web browser by personnel or customers.
It can be used as a stand-alone system or integrated into existing perimeter systems, making it ideal for most environments where occupancy needs to be managed closely. Current Brickstream 3D Gen2 customers can use a remote firmware upgrade to purchase and add this feature.
This solution forms part of the COVID-19 response product portfolio of FLIR Systems, which includes the FLIR EST camera series, to help organisations improve security in public places and other high-traffic areas.
