ST and Schneider Electric Reveal Advanced People-Counting Solution using AI

#artificialintelligence

STMicroelectronics and Schneider Electric are demonstrating a prototype IoT sensor that enables new building-management services and efficiency gains by understanding building-occupancy levels and usage. The two companies have collaborated to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into a high-performance people-counting sensor, which overcomes the challenge of monitoring attendance in large spaces with multiple entrance points. Schneider Electric will demonstrate this IoT sensor as a guest ST Live Days, during the IoT&5G session on November 19, 2020. With the digitization of building occupancy, Schneider is following its mission to be its customers' digital partner for sustainability and efficiency by delivering new and highly valuable insights such as queue monitoring to assist smart building management while respecting individuals' privacy by design. The advanced IoT sensor has been developed by combining the high expertise of ST's AI group and the deep sensor-application expertise of Schneider Electric to identify and embed a high-performing object-detection neural network in a small microcontroller (MCU).
