Freedom to Choose Your Sensor (Hardware Agnostic)
Don’t lock yourself into a single manufacturer. CrowdBI supports the world’s leading sensors (Xovis, Axis, Terabee). You can choose the most accurate 3D counting solution for site A and a cost-effective IoT sensor for site B — all within the same view.
People Flow + Building Intelligence
CrowdBI is not just about simple headcounting. It is the only platform that combines visitor volumes directly with the building’s consumption data (water, electricity, heating). You finally gain a clear understanding of how occupancy rates affect your actual operating and maintenance costs.
Smart and Secure Edge AI
Privacy is built in by design. We leverage the sensors’ own AI to process data on the device itself. No video footage or identifiable information is sent to the cloud — only anonymous, clean analytics (100% GDPR compliant).
| Feature | Traditional systems | CrowdBI |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor manufacturer | Tied to a single brand | Freely selectable (Xovis, Axis, Terabee…) |
| Data integrations | Visitor counts only | Visitors + Weather + Building IoT data |
| Depth of analytics | Basic reports (PDF/Excel) |
Interactive BI dashboard & forecasts |
| Scalability | Limited to a specific device type | Scales from small spaces to large properties, outdoor spaces, ski trails, bike paths and driveways. |
| Upgradeability | Often requires hardware replacement | Software-based (SaaS) – always the latest AI |
| Cloud service ecosystem | Tied to the vendor | Freely selectable: e.g. Amazon AWS, Azure, Hetzner (data in Finland), Magic Cloud(data in Finland) |
Kumppanit
Xovis 3D – Intelligent accuracy from entrances to demanding outdoor spaces. Recognizes children, adults and gender.
Axis AI – More than a GDPR camera/sensor: Intelligent object detection and wide coverage indoors and outdoors, e.g. pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. There are sensors for measuring the occupancy rate of unrestricted areas, e.g. skate parks, football fields and parking lots.
ToF sensor for indoor use: No network infrastructure required, available for LoRaWan network if desired.
