Technology


True Presence Sensor are revolutionizing how modern spaces operate - shifting from motion-based automation to human-centric intelligence. Unlike basic PIR sensors that rely on visible movement, True Presence Sensor uses 24 GHz FMCW radar and AI signal processing to detect the actual presence of a person - even when they’re perfectly still.


Below are the top applications where True Presence Sensor deliver unmatched precision and efficiency


1. Smart Offices & Workspaces


Automate lighting, HVAC, and ventilation based on real-time occupancy.


Detect seated employees with micro-motion and respiration sensing.


Eliminate energy waste from idle zones and improve workplace comfort.


2. Hospitality & Hotels


Enable guest room automation - lights, curtains, and AC turn on/off intelligently.


Enhance comfort while maintaining energy efficiency.


Ensure discreet and accurate room occupancy monitoring.


3. Healthcare & Assisted Living


Monitor patient presence without physical contact.


Detects inactivity, abnormal stillness, or movement changes using vital-sign detection.


Improve safety and energy efficiency in wards, ICUs, and recovery rooms.


4. Industrial & Warehousing


High-bay models (e.g., TRUEiSENSE Hibay) automate lighting in storage areas up to 12 m height.


Eliminate false triggers from machinery or airflow.


Ideal for logistics hubs, factories, and cold storage units.


5. Smart Homes & Residences


Detects presence in bedrooms, washrooms, and living areas with millimetre-wave precision.


Enable hands-free lighting, climate control, and security automation.


Seamless integration with IoT and home automation platforms.


6. Educational & Institutional Spaces


Automate classroom lighting and air circulation based on student presence.


Maintain optimal comfort and focus while reducing operational costs.


Integrate easily with centralized BMS systems.
