“Around the world, occupancy management is a top priority for businesses and public agencies to limit the risk of COVID-19 transmission as they reopen,” said Christian Chenard-Lemire, Intelligent Mobility Leader at Genetec. The company’s occupancy management package integrated with Quanergy’s LiDAR-based S3-2 QORTEX People Counter solution to provide high accuracy in counting and measuring population density in an area. This gives safety and security operators the information they need to quickly take action in compliance with occupancy guidelines and help ensure customer health and safety.

With the solution, retail stores, public transportation, stadiums can perform accurate counting of people to manage store capacity for social distancing. For outdoor venues, the QORTEX People Counter can still detect people’s activities despite different lighting conditions of the environment.
