XY Sense
Designed and engineered using proprietary AI, XY Sense is a worldleading smart sensor platform that helps companies access and act on workplace data in real-time.
Developed in-house by leading machine learning engineers.
At XY Sense, we know that sensor data is only as good as what you can do with it.
That’s why, in addition to our smart AI sensor we deliver an equally advanced, but simple to use, analytics application for teams to access and act on their workplace data in real-time.
From global portfolio analytics, right down to real-time desk availability, XY Sense is changing the way teams can access and act on workplace data.
See real-time occupancy as well as movement across space. Updated every 2 seconds
Track utilisation by location, benchmark across portfolios and optimise CRE strategy
View by teams, neighbourhoods or individual desks to inform space planning
View by room capacity, duration, averages and drill down to see occupancy per meeting.

When installed and in active mode, the sensor works continuously to capture sightings of the wide-range sensor zone every 2 seconds. While the sensor has pinpoint positional accuracy (<30cm -1m,) of people moving in a given space, the sensor itself only captures XY coordinates of people to protect privacy.
This anonymous scene data is then processed locally at the 'edge of the device', ensuring that no scenes are ever stored on, or ever leave the sensor device.
XY Sense remotely maintains and updates sensor AI and machine learning capabilities, this makes it possible for us to push new features and sensor capabilities without the need to update hardware. Upcoming feature releases include human behaviour recognition such as; sit stand detection, mobile phone usage, computer usage, anonymous individual’s paths of travel, as well as health and wellbeing measures like ambient noise, temperature.
Processed data is then transmitted via an encrypted MQTT connection to XY Sense's cloud platform through an on-premise 4G hub. Customers have the option to configure the sensors to use their corporate network and firewall. XY Sense's unique sensor daisy-chaining capabilities allows for multiple sensors to connect to one 4G hub.
Encrypted, anonymous sensor data is then processed by proprietary algorithms on the XY Cloud Platform to deliver accurate positional stitching between sensor sightings. This enables full floor plan coverage without duplicates.
Having stitched real-time sightings together and normalised against the mapped floor plan, sensor data is then pushed to both our real-time API feed and XY customer analytics platform to update dashboards and customised analytics views.
This processing happens in near real-time with updates delivered to XY customer analytics platform every 2 seconds. This means users can monitor live movement in real-time.
