Occupancy Monitoring Tech Vendor AVUITY Announces New Line of Sensors

AVUITY, a vendor of sensor hardware and software to collect and manage space analytics, announced a new line of sensors that can detect occupancy, utilization, and variations in temperature, light, noise, and humidity. The company’s press release claims new levels of sensitivity, capabilities, and battery life.

“AVUITY’s new sensors give enterprises a lower cost of entry to get the data they need to make informed decisions on their office space and real estate footprint quickly,” the firm said. “The sensors are also easy to install and operate, providing customers with a seamless integration into their existing building management systems and processes.” In addition, they support Power Over Ethernet, or POE, which is a way to power devices connected to the Ethernet network that is also carrying the data. POE would allow powering of sensors where changing batteries might otherwise be difficult, like with locations on high ceilings.
