Occupancy Management at Libraries

Providing visitors to public and university libraries with a comfortable, convenient, and secure experience requires planning. Occupancy measuring and management solutions help facility managers at public and university libraries meet visitors’ expectations in a more reliable and cost-efficient manner.

Measuring occupancy – smarter libraries, happier visitors 

Facility managers responsible for public and university libraries can use precise historical data to enhance energy efficiency, maximize available space, and bolster security, while live data provides visitors with real-time situational awareness. 

  1. 1

    Meeting visitors’ needs

    Noise sensitivity and health concerns are among the factors that determine whether a person visits or spends an appreciable amount of a time in a library, either for study or other community events. With real-time data from Xovis transmitted to an occupancy-tracking platform such as an app, students, individuals, and families can find their ideal work or leisure space before ever stepping into a building.

    Cost-optimization strategies

    Operating libraries is expensive, sometimes unnecessarily so. Cost-conscious facility managers can advance cost-optimization strategies by relying on real-time and historical usage data for decisions about facility cleaning, heating and cooling operations, and building lighting. 

  3. 3

    Understanding occupancy trends

    Easing capacity constraints starts with understanding how visitors utilize available infrastructure. Facility managers accessing reliable data about usage trends can make effective adjustments that promote load-balancing and limit overcrowding. Accurate, responsibly-captured occupancy data can be used by internal and external stakeholders for reporting, budget requests, and deepening a commitment to transparency and fact-based decision-making.

    Accuracy and responsibility

    Xovis’ AI-powered sensors are up to 99.9% accurate and can be equipped with multiple machine-learning-based features. As edge-processing IoT devices, no images are stored on or leave our sensors. That’s added peace of mind for students and facilitators monitoring changes in privacy standards.

3D sensors for libraries

Our robust stereovision sensors are easy to install, configure, and operate—helping facility managers at public and university libraries advance their organization’s data-driven approach to facility management. Flexible and easy to scale up and out, our sensors can quickly respond to changing analytics demands.
