International. Genetec announced the launch of its new Occupancy Management Package, which helps organizations monitor their occupancy levels and ensure compliance with regulations, as many retailers, restaurants and public places prepare to begin reopening in the coming days and weeks.
The Occupancy Management Package includes analytics and reporting tools that allow organizations to leverage their security system to count the number of people in a store or similar retail area, visualize data, and alert employees when occupancy limits are reached. Audit reports can also be easily produced to demonstrate a company's compliance with physical distancing regulations.
With this new package, organizations can define policies that adhere to local occupancy guidelines and mobilize their operations to limit the risk of transmission. Live occupancy data is displayed clearly and graphically. When occupancy limits are reached, employees responsible for monitoring the situation can receive alerts on a mobile device, by email, or on their Security Center's dashboard so they can take appropriate action.
"As public organizations prepare to reopen, they are looking for ways to align safety measures in compliance with physical distancing regulations to keep their staff and customers safe," said Rob Borsch, Practice Leader – Retail and Banking at Genetec, Inc. "To enforce these strict occupancy rules, they will need to do more than count the number of people entering their facility: they will need to know how many people are inside a store or restaurant at any given time, continuously monitor this data, and be able to take action when thresholds are reached."
