What Makes the SensMax TAC-B 3D-W Sensor Special?
The SensMax TAC-B 3D-W sensor is not your ordinary people counter. It uses mmWave radar technology to detect people, even in low light or challenging conditions. This technology is more advanced than traditional methods, offering high accuracy in tracking visitors within the mall.
The radar operates in the 60 GHz frequency range, sending out radar waves that bounce off moving objects (like people) and return to the sensor. By analyzing these signals, the TAC-B 3D-W can accurately count people, track their movement direction, and even monitor how long they stay in certain areas. This radar-based approach means the sensor works well even in complete darkness, unlike video-based counters that rely on light.
Key Technical Features of the SensMax TAC-B 3D-W Sensor
- High Accuracy and Range: The sensor covers a wide area of up to 100 square meters, with a 10-meter range and a 120° field of view. This means it can effectively monitor both narrow and wide entrances in shopping malls. It has a counting accuracy of over 99% in low-density areas (about 1 person per square meter).
- Anonymous People Counting: The TAC-B 3D-W sensor is fully GDPR-compliant and provides anonymous people counting without recording any images. It uses radar waves rather than cameras, ensuring privacy for all visitors.
- Real-Time Reporting: The sensor can transmit real-time data over a WiFi connection to a cloud reporting system. Mall managers can view reports instantly and make immediate adjustments to operations if needed, such as allocating more staff during peak hours.
- Multiple Counting Lines and Zones: Each sensor allows up to 5 counting lines and 5 zones. For example, one sensor can count people entering the main entrance while also monitoring a nearby store entry within the same space.
- Durable and Reliable: The sensor works under various lighting conditions, from bright daylight to complete darkness, making it highly reliable for indoor use in areas with fluctuating lighting.
Benefits of Using the SensMax TAC-B 3D-W in Shopping Malls
- Better Crowd Management: With precise people counting data, mall management can monitor visitor traffic patterns, identify peak hours, and allocate resources more effectively. This helps ensure a comfortable shopping experience for visitors, even during busy periods.
- Optimized Cleaning and Maintenance: Knowing the exact number of visitors helps optimize cleaning schedules for areas with high foot traffic, such as food courts and restrooms. The sensor can even send automated notifications to cleaning staff after a set number of visitors have passed through a monitored area.
- Improved Security: The sensor can help enhance security by providing real-time information on crowd levels. If certain areas become too crowded, security teams can act quickly to prevent bottlenecks or potential safety risks.
- Supports Marketing and Retail Analytics: With accurate data on visitor flows, mall managers can assess the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and adjust their marketing strategies. For example, if a certain entrance sees more foot traffic after a new billboard is installed, they can gauge the success of the advertisement.
- Energy Savings: Knowing occupancy levels in different parts of the mall allows the management to adjust lighting, heating, and air conditioning based on real-time data. This can lead to significant energy savings by reducing the use of resources in areas with low foot traffic.
How to Install the SensMax TAC-B 3D-W Sensor in Shopping Malls
- Mounting Location: Install the sensor on a sidewall or pillar at a height of 2-3 meters above the ground. Ensure it’s aimed slightly downwards for better coverage of the detection area.
- Power and Network Connection: Connect the sensor to a WiFi network and a 12V DC power supply. No additional equipment is required, making it a simple setup.
- Zone Setup: Define counting zones and lines through the sensor’s configuration webpage. You can set up separate zones for entrances, store entries, and even monitor popular areas within the mall.
- Data Access: After installation, the sensor will start collecting data. The information is available on the SensMax cloud portal in real time, and you can also configure custom notifications and reports.
