CENTAMAN Systems are launching their new people counting solution. The CENTAMAN solution is made up of overhead scanners which are in turn connected to a PC via the network which will log all the population information and report the data back in numerous ways making the system suitable for a wide range of venues including retail outlets, exhibition centres, art galleries, amusement parks, sports stadia and licensed premises. The CENTAMAN Pedestrian Counting solution is a non-intrusive system that can accurately count pedestrian traffic flow in both directions. As people come in and out of the facility they are automatically counted and that data is sent to the display mechanism so that information such as the current population or how many people have entered through a particular entrance can be immediately accessed. Then, if required, that data can be logged at regular time intervals and stored in a simple to access database for later analysis. Management information can be used to ensure safe population levels are maintained and answer questions about customer volumes, traffic flow, marketing and operational efficiency - allowing you to increase your customer conversion rate, improve your margins and increase profitability. “In the attractions, leisure, entertainment and retail industries there is a growing need to accurately monitor, control and record total population and pedestrian traffic figures. Whether it’s for revenue control, health and safety, marketing performance analysis, rent review validations or maximising staffing efficiencies accurate people counting without interfering with the customer experience is a key requirement. The CENTAMAN solution people counting are ideal for these kinds of applications. The system is based on thermal sensors which are discreet and have no impendence on the customer experience but it is still tracking the direction of travel of individuals whilst ignoring trolleys, briefcases etc. This results in extremely high over all accuracy for the counting system. ‘says Michael Bystram, Head of Entrance Control for CENTAMAN
