For example, sensors are placed at the entrance and exits of a retail store to provide an accurate count of how many people enter and leave the store. Designed to be discreet, the sensors are typically ceiling-mounted and use Artificial Intelligence to **detect individuals and groups entering or exiting a space**. Our smart sensors are capable of differentiating between adults and children, gender and also excluding staff from occupancy if required. ![People Scanned on Entry - Graphic](https://www.cohera-tech.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/people-entry-scanner-retail-1.jpg "people-entry-scanner-retail") The **data collected by each sensor is then transmitted to secure cloud-based servers** located in Australia for immediate processing by our intuitive **analytics platform** where algorithms **calculate occupancy levels and space utilization**. Our **reporting system operates in real-time** with instantaneous updates to reports appearing on computers, tablets and all mobile devices. If required, the reliable data can also be integrated with other reporting systems, for further analysis. ![People Counting Schematic](https://www.cohera-tech.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/system-schematic-people-counting-safe-count.jpg "system-schematic-people-counting-safe-count") The animations below shows how an entrance level people counting solution captures visitor information. You can see the movement of individuals and groups through a venue, and with the appropriate sensor coverage how we can show real time occupancy, visitation and dwell information in relation to zones with heat mapping.
