People analytics from ILLUMENAI
Extracting people analytics from high resolution building data
To identify people in a space, various sensors are used in conjunction with data science. These sensors include, movement, temperature, sound, CO2 and Bluetooth, to provide high resolution coverage of your space.
The platform feeds this data to the cloud through either:
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology,
- WiFi either connected to the local network, or through Mesh technologies,
- LTE wireless technologies, providing a wide range of connection capabilities.
To provide the highest level of data security, the illumenai platform captures people movement in a non-identifying manner. The data is kept on world-class secure servers in the cloud (Amazon AWS).
To provide an even higher level of physical security, the illumenai platform can use Bluetooth tags, badges or phones to pinpoint authorized users.
Return on investment
The people analytics module can result in significant savings in building operating costs.
- Using presence data, you can identify under-utilized areas and sublet unused space.
- Reduce heating or cooling to unused space, reducing operating costs.
- Use the data to increase the space utilization by hot desking, saving money on relocating.
- Please visit our space savings calculator page to see how much money you can save!
Real-time sensing
- Real-time sensor information from 10 separate sensors, as well as external environmental factors, is analyzed continuously to feed the algorithms that power the intelligence of the system.
- Some data is processed at source to provide edge based analytics for a better user experience. Other data is sent back to the serverless cloud architecture to be worked on by machine learning algorithms.
- High resolution sensing and the platform's people analytics capabilities will assist post-COVID workplace re-entry readiness.
Occupancy analysis
- The amount of movement in the office is easily visualized when the sensor data is overlaid onto your office layout. It is easy to determine which areas of the office space is the most utilized and to make informed layout decisions.
- Based on historical data, the platform can make occupancy predictions, so that you can plan better for re-organizations, or office based events.
- It is easy to determine where movement hotspots are happening, so that office 'flow' can be better distributed for a more comfortable and safe work environment.
Meeting space utilization
- Easily visualize which offices are being utilized the least
- Quickly see meeting space utilization by hovering over the presence detectors on the office map. Detailed reports are available that drill down into more details.
Activity assessment
- Using machine learning, the platform can determine the type of activity that is happening in a space, assisting you in ensuring that your staff are getting up and moving around, increasing their wellness.
- As sitting for prolonged periods has been identified as bad for your health, you can get an indication of the activity level of the company as a whole, allowing you to create activities to best assist in a healthy workplace.
Focus on wellness
- To assist your employees with ensuring that they get some activity in for the day and to encourage them to leave the office to engage with other colleagues, the platform contains a wellness timer that will remind the employee to take a pause for a stretch or a break from the screen.
Space efficiency
- The platform will help you identify choke points, active and inactive areas of the office and utliization of the various spaces. This will not only lead to a better workplace environment, but will also save you money on your operating costs such as heating, cooling, lighting etc.
- The platform keeps a eye on how much a space is used and can set up cleaning schedules, so that when the cleaners come in, the platform will indicate to them which areas need cleaning and which areas they can bypass. This not only saves cleaning costs, but will also ensure that the cleaning staff are in and out as quickly as possible., saving lighting costs.
