Retail stores are increasingly enforcing social distancing regulations by limiting the number of shoppers in their premises to curb the spread of the novel Coronavirus. If you operate a retail store, you need to protect public health by installing a real-time occupancy monitoring system that helps you to enforce social distancing guidelines as well as occupancy restrictions.

Nedap’s Store Occupancy uses existing customer counting sensors that anonymously count and track those entering and exiting your store. It then calculates the store’s occupancy rate using preset capacity. Store Occupancy monitoring ensures that shoppers, employees, and store visitors have the space that they need to stay safe. This real-time occupancy monitoring system leverages a unique algorithm. It shows warnings when occupancy limits are approached or exceeded, thus enabling you to enforce social distancing rules.

The occupancy monitor shows the of number of people in the store and the number of ‘free’ spots. Visual signing allows users to see the status of their occupancy level immediately.
