Hex by Industel

Occupancy · People counting · Air quality

Know how your buildings are really used.

Hex counts people, measures how long spaces are occupied and watches the air they breathe — continuously, anonymously, and on your own network. No badges. No app. Nobody watching a screen.

What it does

One small sensor. Six things worth knowing.

Every Hex works out what it is seeing on the device itself and sends numbers, not pictures. Fit them where the question is — a doorway, a desk bank, a meeting room, a queue — and the answers start arriving within the minute.

Real-time people counting

Bi-directional counts across any threshold. In, out, and the live occupancy that follows from the two — accurate to the minute.

Occupancy & dwell

How many people are in a space, and for how long. The difference between a room that is booked and a room that is used.

Temperature & humidity

Comfort measured where people actually sit, not at the thermostat by the door. Trends by hour, day and season.

Air quality

CO₂, particulates, pressure and noise. The measures that decide whether a room stays sharp after lunch or does not.

Space utilisation

Which desks, floors and rooms earn their space — and which are quietly costing you rent every month.

Alerts that matter

Queue too long, room too full, CO₂ climbing, a sensor gone quiet. Set the threshold once and be told, rather than going to look.

How it works

Everything is worked out on the device.

A Hex looks at a scene, decides how many people are in it, and forgets the picture. What leaves the sensor is a count and a timestamp — which is why it can sit in a meeting room, a washroom corridor or a bank branch without anyone having to think twice.

01 — SENSE

See the space

A wide or standard lens covers a doorway, a desk bank or a whole meeting room from a single ceiling or wall mount.

02 — DECIDE

Count on-device

The sensor identifies people in the frame itself. The image never leaves it — only the resulting numbers do.

03 — COLLECT

Gather on site

A local Mothership on your own network receives every reading over Wi-Fi or wired MQTT and keeps working if the internet drops.

04 — UNDERSTAND

Turn it into answers

Readings roll up into occupancy, footfall and environmental history you can chart, export or pull straight into your own systems.

The hardware

Built to disappear into a ceiling.

A 105 mm hexagon in soft white that reads as a smoke detector rather than a camera. Wall or ceiling mount, wired or fully wireless, and a battery variant for places where running a cable is out of the question.

Unobtrusive enough that nobody asks about it.

The insight

Numbers you can act on by Monday.

Fourteen report views come as standard — utilisation carpets, weekly profiles, peak-versus-mean, under-used spaces, footfall, air quality and trend analysis. Every one filters by site, floor or single room, and exports as CSV or over the API.

Utilisation carpet

Level 2 — East Wing

Every quarter-hour of every day. Darker means busier — the shape of a working week at a glance.

Footfall — in vs out

Main entrance

Arrivals above the line, departures below. The building filling and emptying, hour by hour.

Next step

See it running on your own floor plan.

We will walk a floor with you, work out where the sensors go, and show you the numbers a fortnight later. No badge readers, no desk booking rollout, no app for anyone to install.
