Monitor Meeting Room, Desk, and Workspace Occupancy
to Unlock Smart Space Utilization

milesight occupancy solution overview

Space occupancy measures how many people use a given area — a key priority for facility managers. Understanding occupancy patterns enables better strategic decisions, cost reduction opportunities, streamlined space planning, and validation of employee needs.

Milesight takes this further by combining IoT-enabled occupancy detection, people counting , and smart building sensors to explore new possibilities for intelligent building automation. Deployed across conference rooms, huddle spaces, and shared work areas, Milesight devices deliver real-time insights into how spaces are used.

By integrating live people flow and environmental data into your or BMS , the system empowers automated control, advanced analytics, and adaptive space management, unlocking greater comfort, efficiency, and sustainability across the entire building ecosystem.

From Office to Campus:
Real-world Occupancy Applications

Office Space Utilization

By analyzing extensive occupancy data, the system identifies both high-traffic and underused areas to optimize layout and improve workplace experience. It helps create occupant-friendly offices while enhancing overall resource allocation.

Meeting Room Occupancy

Real-time occupancy data enables efficient space utilization and booking management. The sensors detect presence in meeting, conference, or collaboration spaces, support last-minute scheduling, and automatically release unused reserved rooms to maximize availability. Detailed analytics further reveal true space usage patterns.

Workstation Detection

Each desk or seat can be monitored with clarity. Occupancy status is automatically updated, eliminating manual effort for tracking and statistics, and ensuring effective space use.

Cubicle Detection

The hybrid workplace model demands flexibility. Leveraging the combined performance of PIR and ToF technologies, the system updates occupancy status instantly to streamline traffic flow and improve facility efficiency.

Beyond Offices

Beyond smart buildings and offices, Milesight's occupancy solution is also ideal for educational facilities such as classrooms, lecture halls, and libraries, as well as public and commercial buildings that benefit from data-driven space planning and energy optimization.

No Wiring, No Hassle

Wireless occupancy sensors require no wiring, significantly reducing installation costs and maintenance needs—ideal for both modern offices and heritage buildings.

Occupancy-driven HVAC, Lighting,
and Building System Automation

Milesight Occupancy Sensors collect real-time presence data across meeting rooms, workstations, and shared spaces, accurately detecting occupancy status through AI, ToF, PIR, and radar technologies. The collected data is transmitted via LoRaWAN®, Ethernet, Cellular, or Wi-Fi HaLow to connected building management systems.

Once integrated, the occupancy information can trigger automated operations across HVAC, lighting, ventilation, and other building systems. Historical and live occupancy metrics also enable configurable rule-based automation, dynamic zoning, and predictive scheduling, allowing building systems to respond instantly to space usage without manual intervention.

Make the Most of Meeting Rooms and Other Workspace

Master Occupancy Detection

The solution tracks workplace occupancy through intelligent people sensing. With the support of meeting room sensors and general occupancy sensors, it forms a valuable information network that enables data-oriented management. Real-time insights on entrances, exits, workstation status, and meeting room availability support strategic decision-making.

Prevent Ghost Meetings

Occupancy and people counting sensors eliminate ghost meetings by detecting whether reserved rooms are actually occupied. When no presence is detected, the booking system automatically release the room for others to use. Integration with scheduling platforms enables real-time booking updates based on actual occupancy, maximizing room utilization.

Save Energy with Smart Automation

Smart automation uses occupancy sensors to automatically trigger lights, display screens, HVAC, and booking systems when meeting rooms are in use. For example, it turns lights on/off based on presence and adjusts temperature setpoints, airflow, and ventilation based on room usage. Instead of relying on fixed schedules, systems react in real time to actual presence, optimizing both comfort and efficiency.

Improve Workplace Layout

Analyze workplace data to identify high-traffic areas and optimize the layout accordingly. Management can redesign spaces to maximize utilization of preferred areas and improve meeting room configurations. For example, dashboards show real usage vs. booked time, helping FM teams right-size real estate and reallocate underused rooms.

Display Booking Information

By combining real-time occupancy data with booking schedules, workplaces can clearly display whether a space, such as a meeting room, is truly in use or just reserved. Showing both the booking information and actual occupancy status helps employees find available spaces faster, avoid conflicts, and make better use of shared areas. This transparency also supports smarter decision-making and more accurate space planning.

Ensure Occupant Comfort & Experience

Space occupancy sensors help maintain a comfortable environment by enabling smart control of lighting, temperature, and ventilation based on actual presence. Whether it's a meeting room or shared workspace, automatic adjustments improve user experience, reduce complaints, and support a healthier, more responsive indoor environment.
