The People Counting Sensor from MachineSens IoT is a millimeter wave radar sensor that counts occupancy in washrooms. It mounts on the ceiling or wall, is rated IP54 and connects over LoRaWAN, sending visit counts to the BuildOT One platform so cleaning matches real use in UAE and GCC buildings.

What the People Counting Sensor does
- Counts visits. Know how many people use each washroom through the day.
- Shows peak times. Plan cleaning around busy periods.
- Drives usage-based cleaning. Trigger a service after a set number of visits.
- Respects privacy. Radar counts presence without cameras.
Where it is used
Washrooms in malls, airports, stadiums, offices, hospitals and event venues, where footfall varies widely between hours and days.
Works with BuildOT One
Visit counts feed task rules in FM360 and occupancy views in Space Management. The sensor is part of the Smart Washroom solution. Pair it with the Waste Bin Level Sensor for a complete picture. Add the Smart Odor Sensor so cleaning also follows air quality.
