2. CogniPoint™ is a groundbreaking embedded-analytics
sensing solution for building automation, extracting the
most important information about how and where
occupants are using the building. It’s comprised of
highly intelligent sensors and management software,
and provides embedded-analytics for tracking human
activity across the entire space of the building.

3. The CogniPoint™ sensor is a miniature network-
connected sensing device, running state-of–the-art
deep-learning algorithms on a low-cost embedded
ARM-based processor. It is primarily designed for
indoor occupant analytics and energy savings in
commercial buildings, providing unprecedented
precision in the detection of occupants’ locations, count,
and movements, as well as precise reading of ambient
lighting and motion sensing.

4. Consistent with fog computing and edge computing
approaches, the CogniPoint™ sensor can work as a
standalone device or be incorporated into other devices
such as thermostats or lighting fixtures. It is an
intelligent building sensor that performs all analytics
internally, so images are never stored or transmitted
over the network, fully protecting occupants’ privacy.

5. Due to its processing capability and architecture,
CogniPoint™ can also function as a sensor hub,
controlling other sensors measuring temperature,
humidity and more. PointGrab’s management software
package aggregates the data from the individual smart
sensors, monitors and maintains sensor operations, and
delivers the information to various building systems
including lighting, HVAC, safety, security and facility
management.

6. The CogniPoint™ solution is genuinely disruptive to the
building automation market in that it easily and
affordably provides unprecedented levels of actionable
information about occupants, dramatically reducing
building operational expenses and significantly
enhancing workplace intelligence. The valuable
information it provides for smart buildings is applicable
to numerous use cases, such as:
