Density occupancy guides and sensor comparisons

Choose a Density guide by the decision you need to make: measuring office use, choosing a sensor, protecting privacy, or comparing suppliers. Each guide explains the measurement involved and links to supporting product information.

Understand the measurement

• Sensor accuracy: Define the task, reference observations and acceptance rule.

• Occupancy privacy: Review anonymous sensing and the sensor-to-application data path.

• Utilization metrics: Distinguish observed occupancy, capacity utilization and occupied-time rate.

• Radar vs PIR: Compare sensing methods against the output and history you need.

• Building comparisons: Check operating hours, time zones, capacity and measurement coverage.

Choose the space to measure

• Waffle room use: Review count categories and setup for meeting rooms and phone booths.

• Entry doorway counts: Check crossings, entrance coverage and the resulting occupancy estimate.

• Open Area utilization: Define area boundaries and the workplace decision the counts will support.

For product details, explore Waffle for desks and small rooms, Open Area for counts across larger spaces, and Entry for entrance and exit measurement. Ask Density which combination fits your floor plan and intended output.

Compare occupancy platforms

• VergeSense comparison: Compare Density and VergeSense by sensing output, reporting and deployment scope.
• XY Sense comparison: Compare Density and XY Sense by sensor choice and workplace analytics.

Treat a comparison as a starting point for evaluating your actual spaces. Product specifications and performance results answer different questions; keep the applicable conditions beside each claim.

• Butlr comparison: Compare Density radar and Butlr thermal sensing against a room-planning decision.

• Milesight comparison: Compare proposed counts, presence outputs, network requirements and deployment costs.

• Occuspace comparison: Compare Density Waffle and Occuspace Micro by room output, setup and reporting.

• Basking comparison: Compare measurement inputs, portfolio reporting and optional lease workflows.

• Vendor track record: Trace Density’s dated milestones and documented workplace applications.

Plan a portfolio decision

• Lease business case: Connect space feasibility with costs and the timing of a proposed consolidation.

Budget for room occupancy measurement

• Waffle rollout cost: Inspect hardware, software and three-year budget assumptions.

Turn workplace questions into charts

• Instant occupancy charts: Explore question-to-chart examples and preserve the scope of a shared answer.

• Instant vs Power BI: Compare ownership of occupancy measurement, metric definitions and reporting.

Integrate and operate measurement

• Occupancy API: Separate live displays from historical planning and account for sensor health.
• Continuous measurement: Set operating responsibilities and rules for incomplete data.

Measure campus space and service demand

• Library study space: Compare quiet desks, group rooms and opening hours across the academic calendar.

• Campus dining demand: Distinguish arrivals from occupancy before examining service conditions.

Prepare the buying process

• Workplace buyer guide: Match the measurement approach, Density products and the space decision.
• Sensor RFP acceptance: Specify test evidence, reporting requirements and responsibility for remediation.

Plan your deployment

Bring a floor plan, the spaces you want to measure and the decision you want the data to support. Book a Density demo or email sales@density.io to choose a measurement plan.
