Where decisions about space go wrong:

Gut-feeling decisions

Routing, signage, opening hours, staffing - all of it influences how long people stay, how easily they find their way and whether the day runs smoothly.

Better visitor guidance
Plan space by actual use
Measures you can verify

The problem: Few operators have reliable numbers on how their spaces are actually used. Instead, they improvise-relying on experience, gut feeling, and what has always worked before.

But people change their behaviour. Peak times shift. Routes change.

The result?

  • Signage gets overlooked.

  • Spaces get rebuilt without anyone measuring the effect.

  • Bottlenecks cause frustration and long waits.

What you need is clear data:

  • Where do people spend the most time?
  • Where do bottlenecks form?
  • Which zones are really used - and which hardly at all?

With this knowledge you can use space more purposefully, reduce waiting times, put staff where the activity is - and back decisions with evidence instead of arguments.

Online, every click is measured. On the floor, that same certainty is missing.

With online services it's long been standard: every click is tracked, every movement analysed. You know exactly how many people visit your website, how long they stay on a page, when they leave, and at what times the most traffic occurs.

Meaning: Every decision is data-driven.
Structure, order, timing - nothing is left to chance.

And on your floor?

This clarity is often lacking. Because you lack the data.

But what if you had the same clarity on your floor as you do online?

What if you could see exactly how many people are in which zone, how long they stay - and when certain areas are particularly in demand?

Imagine if you could…

… design your spaces by actual use, because you know where people spend the most time.

… manage communication, staff planning and opening hours on real-time and historical data.

… shorten wait times - and ease congestion.

It sounds like online tracking - only offline.
And that is exactly what ANALYSIT makes possible.

Manage spaces, routes and staffing with ANALYSIT - based on data

With the ANALYSIT Counting System, you see in real time how many people are on your floor - anonymously and in one-minute resolution. Mask detection is available as a licensed extension. Employees can be excluded from the count if desired.

Our 3D sensors anonymously capture how your floor is used: how many people are in each zone, how long they stay, and which areas are most frequented - all in real time and GDPR-compliant.

Historical overviews show you visitor numbers on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. You also see when particularly many or few visitors came.

Additionally, you can directly compare the total footfall of individual sites and sensors - for example, by time period or building.

For deeper insights, we also offer a space analysis. That means we provide you with concrete evaluations and recommendations for planning your space. We look at the most heavily frequented areas, the dwell time per zone, and spots that are barely used.

Your benefits with ANALYSIT:

Design space around actual use:

The presence map shows which grid cells are used heavily and which are barely used. That lets you plan changes on numbers.

Put information where it lands:

Place signage and information where people actually are - and check in the numbers whether it works.

Spot peaks and bottlenecks:

The data shows when and where people build up - so you can adjust staffing, access and visitor routing in time.

Dwell time per zone:

See how long people stay in a zone - at a resolution from one minute to a full day, looking back over 730 days.

Compare multiple sites:

Compare buildings, floors and zones with one another and see how each area is actually used.

Efficient resource planning:

Identify when more staff is needed, optimise your staffing schedule and reduce waiting times.

Value rental space:

Value rental space on actual footfall instead of estimates.

By the way:

The ANALYSIT Counting System suits airports, smart buildings, museums, staff restaurants, leisure parks and public transport - wherever spaces with footfall are planned and operated. Learn more about the application possibilities of ANALYSIT here.

With sensor data you make evidenced decisions about space use, routing and staffing.

Frequently asked questions about people counting and space analytics

How do sensors help with decisions about space?
You see anonymously and in real time how many people are on a floor and how long they stay in a zone. That lets you plan staffing, opening hours and layout changes on numbers instead of assumptions.
What exactly do the sensors measure?
The sensors count entries and exits anonymously and record how many people are in each zone. The evaluation shows presence per grid cell, dwell time per zone and the most common zone sequences.
Are personal data collected?
No, the sensors do not collect personal data. They only gather metadata, such as movement data, that cannot be traced back to individuals. All data is processed and stored in full compliance with data protection regulations.
How is footfall analysed?
Footfall is captured through anonymous 3D counting. That shows how many people are in each zone and which areas are busiest.
What are the benefits of real-time data for my business?
Real-time data lets you react quickly: you see occupancy and peaks as they build, and can adjust staffing and visitor routing on the actual numbers.
How can I use the data for visitor routing?
The data shows which areas of your floor are busiest and where people stay longest. You can then place signage and information exactly where it will actually be seen.
How do the sensors help reduce waiting times?
The sensors help you identify peak hours and bottlenecks early on. With these insights, you can better plan staffing levels and opening hours to minimise waiting times.
Can I use the system for multiple locations?
Yes, the system is scalable and covers multiple sites at once. You can compare data from different buildings, floors and zones with one another.
Is the system privacy-compliant?

Yes, the ANALYSIT Counting System is fully privacy-compliant. All collected data is anonymised - no personal data is stored or processed. The system meets the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

Our solution is based on 3D sensors made by Xovis, which are certified with an E-Privacy seal from Germany. These sensors are edge-processing devices, meaning all data processing happens directly on the device. No camera footage is stored or transmitted - only anonymous movement metadata is generated. This ensures no personal identification is possible.

Are the 3D sensors cameras?

The term “camera” can be interpreted differently, but generally refers to devices that capture photos or videos.

The sensors are edge-processing devices: all image processing happens directly on the sensor in real time. No photos or videos leave the sensor during operation - only anonymous X/Y coordinates or event triggers are transmitted, such as when a person crosses a virtual line in the entrance area.

How is the system installed and configured?
The system can either be installed on-site by your team or with support from our service team. After installation, your dashboard is ready to use through a web browser.
How are the data integrated into my business?
The collected data is visualised in an intuitive dashboard. You can access the data directly in your browser and analyse key KPIs such as footfall and peak hours. Based on this data, you can make informed decisions about space planning and staffing.
How soon will I see results?
Implementation and data collection take a short time. Once the sensors are installed and configured, you can monitor results in real time and immediately start making improvements.
Are there other application areas for the system?
The system suits anywhere many people are on the move: airports, smart buildings, museums, staff restaurants, leisure parks, public transport and urban spaces.
How can I expand coverage if one sensor doesn't cover the entire area?
Up to 9 sensors can be combined into a multisensor setup to cover larger areas without additional hardware.
Do the sensors require an external power supply?
No external power supply is needed. All sensors run on Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 0, IEEE 802.3af-power and data are transmitted over a single network cable. If no PoE connection is available, sensors can also be connected via Wi-Fi and powered by a separate power source.
Can the sensors be installed outdoors?
Yes, special outdoor models are available for outdoor use.
Do the sensors work in complete darkness?
Similar to the human eye, visual sensors do not work in total darkness. The sensors require a minimum of 2 lux light intensity. Simply put: if you can see well enough to move safely, the sensor sees enough as well. Additional lighting is generally not required.
Can a sensor be mounted on a wall?
Yes, as long as the sensor is aligned parallel to the floor. Please note: wall mounting reduces the detection area. A tilt angle of more than 5° is not recommended.
How large is the detection area of a sensor?
The detection area depends on the lens used and the mounting height. The mounting height is the distance between the sensor and the floor. Any mounting accessories (such as adapter plates or brackets) must also be taken into account.
