SMART COUNT
>> The people counter for measuring the length of stay of visitors, the flow of visitors and waiting times
Optimal resource planning
The customer frequency analysis (SMART COUNT) enables a quick reaction to operational bottlenecks and serves as a perfect basis for resource planning.
The determination of key figures around the people flow, such as the dwell time of customers or the passenger volume, enables the improvement of processes on multiple levels.
Operational bottlenecks can be identified and eliminated in real time. In addition, customers can also be shown their current waiting time.
Customer Census & Customer Satisfaction
SMART COUNT solutions have an extremely positive impact on perceived waiting time. Long-term improvements in resource planning can be made in customer frequency analysis, and performances of different system partners can be measured and evaluated. People flow measurement is also the basis for our Smart Queue solutions for queue automation. Your benefits from SMART COUNT solutions include:
- People counters to accurately determine visitor traffic
- Improved resource planning is made possible
- Operational bottlenecks can be avoided
- Positive impact on the visitor waiting experience

Cost-effective process optimisations through the measurement of customer flow
Electronic measurement of customer flow in queues is the key to optimising the process. Measurement guarantees consistent and reliable data.
THE METHOD
Measuring critical queue metrics is a simple and cost-effective solution. Our method is based on the 'First In, First Out' principle. This allows us to position counting points at relevant positions such as entrances, exits and intersections, which reduces the number of sensors enormously. Depending on requirements, we can rely on one or two different sensors or on the use of existing third-party data.
People counting system for the enclosed area
Capacity Monitoring takes people measurements in a closed area, such as shops or terminals. Capacity utilisation is determined by simply counting the number of people at entrances and exits, and enables alerts to be issued when permitted levels are exceeded or capacity is overflowing.
THE METHOD
Capacity registration is based on the 'first in, first out' principle and is a simple and cost-effective solution. Counting points are positioned at relevant positions such as entrances, exits and intersections, which reduces the number of sensors enormously. Depending on the requirement, we can rely on one or two different sensors or on the use of existing third-party data.
Measuring valuable data in service processes
Service Flow Monitoring measures the use of the service points as well as the number and dwell time of customers directly at the service counter, thus generating valuable data on the service processes.
THE METHOD
Sensors at service counters, at the checkout or at security checkpoints identify people and measure their dwell time, including the beginning and end of the service process. The generated key figures are transmitted to our servers and can be analysed at any time if required. This information about the processes enables a significant improvement in the planning of staff resources. Real-time dashboards and notifications also make it possible to react at any time.
