PointGrab, a developer of enterprise occupancy sensing technology, introduces its CogniPoint 2 flex occupancy sensor. The company describes the component as a battery powered occupancy sensor enabling the industry’s first large scale deployment of Thread networking in commercial real estate. It introduces a standard, low power mesh network of purpose-built Edge AI devices for enterprise workplaces, unlocking real time occupancy intelligence without traditional infrastructure limitations.

Reportedly, the PointGrab sensor will drive digital workplace initiatives such as booking platforms, employee experience applications, and digital signage with accurate, real-time occupancy data in both legacy buildings and emerging developments. By establishing a future-ready Thread-based sensing infrastructure, organizations can gain visibility into space utilization, validate workplace design decisions, and adapt office environments as needs change.

According to its maker, CogniPoint 2 Flex removes the barriers common to slow traditional deployments. Its battery powered design and self-healing Thread network allegedly enable enterprises to deploy hundreds of sensors in hours rather than weeks. Features include:

• Zero Cabling Deployment: No wires, no contractors, and no disruption. Magnetic or adhesive mounting enables rapid installation across existing offices, immediately enhancing workplace applications with true occupancy data.
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Reduced installation costs and a three-year battery operations guarantee are lowering upfront and ongoing costs, delivering faster ROI.
• Enterprise Thread networking: CogniPoint 2 Flex establishes a secure and energy efficient Thread network at the core of a standard and future ready foundation for additional workplace IOT devices.

Additionally, in terms of privacy, CogniPoint 2 Flex performs all spatial inference at the edge. No files are stored or transmitted, and no personally-identifiable information is ever collected by the system. For greater enlightenment, visit the PointGrab website.
