Xyte announced a partnership with PointGrab to integrate its people-counting sensors with Xyte Connect+. PointGrab’s CogniPoint sensors track occupancy in meeting rooms, desks, huddle spaces, and collaborative areas, offering granular and accurate insights into how workspaces are used. By integrating this data into the Xyte Device Cloud, integrators and enterprises can more effectively monitor and manage both AV resources and workspaces—ensuring efficient equipment usage, reduced energy consumption, and improved operational performance.

The integration allows real-time monitoring of AV equipment usage and enables devices to be powered down during off-peak hours. This optimization enhances energy efficiency and improves resource allocation.

With PointGrab’s data connected to the Xyte Device Cloud, AV integrators can evolve from smart meeting room providers into smart building service providers. By focusing on optimized space utilization, enhanced user experience, and sustainable operations, businesses can dynamically adjust AV system settings—automatically powering devices on or off based on room usage—while creating a connected, efficient workplace experience.
