The social media giant faced the critical need to improve space utilisation across its campuses, which comprised of numerous conference rooms, cafeterias, and other general-purpose areas, and existing legacy solutions were no longer suitable for these complex environments.

To overcome these limitations, Quanergy leverages its seamlessly integrated solution that combines long-range 3D Lidar sensors with advanced perception software. Quanergy’s solution provides extensive coverage across the diverse campus environments, accommodating both large and small rooms with various occlusions, such as tables, chairs, cabinets, columns, and pillars. With a unique object stitching mechanism, Q-Track ensures that employees’ privacy is protected while enabling the sensors to track individuals seamlessly, even when temporarily obscured from view.

According to Quanergy, the new solution resulted in accurate detection, tracking, and classification of employees without compromising privacy or capturing any Personal Identifiable Information (PII). Through the use of occupancy related insights, the social media giant is able to optimise the use of available areas and achieve enhanced productivity among its workforce. The result is a comprehensive solution that is able to outperforms traditional camera-based solutions and dramatically lowers total cost of ownership.

Quanergy believes this success in optimising space utilisation for this social media giant showcases the transformative potential of 3D Lidar technology in smart spaces.
