Density monitoring
by Cisco Spaces
Track space utilization in real-time and trigger safety alerts
Drive safety compliance by monitoring the flow of people in various zones of your building. Define thresholds and trigger notifications when predefined thresholds are reached.
Monitor Occupancy in real-time
With the Right Now app, monitor your building occupancy in real-time. The app receives telemetry from Wi-Fi, BLE, RFID and wired sensors. Compare current data with a historical average to calculate the busiest days of the week, time of the day, etc.
Set occupancy thresholds to drive safety and compliance
Setup rules to enable occupancy thresholds, and get notified in real-time via text, email, chat or digital signages when a safe threshold is crossed. Specify which building, floor, or zone you would like the rules to apply to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is density monitoring?
Density monitoring tracks the number of people in a specific area at any given time. This data is collected through your existing network infrastructure, which provides real-time insights into occupancy levels. It helps you understand space utilization and visitor behavior for informed space management decision-making. By continuously monitoring density, businesses can respond swiftly to changing conditions and maintain an efficient environment.
Why is density monitoring important?
Density monitoring is essential to understanding space usage, maintaining safety and preventing overcrowding. The collected data can be used to optimize space allocation. Cisco Spaces density monitoring empowers organizations to make data-driven decisions that enhance safety, efficiency, and user satisfaction.
How can density monitoring reduce operational costs?
Density monitoring helps lower operational costs by optimizing the use of existing spaces and resources. By accurately tracking occupancy, organizations can identify underutilized areas and repurpose them effectively. Efficient space management that results from density monitoring leads to fewer maintenance expenses and better use of assets. With Cisco Spaces, businesses can make data-driven decisions that streamline operations and cut unnecessary costs.
How can density monitoring improve resource allocation?
Density monitoring provides clear insights into how different areas are utilized, which allows organizations to allocate resources where they’re needed the most. This ensures that staff, equipment, and facilities are positioned effectively, which means better productivity and greater user satisfaction.
