Butlr

Anonymous thermal-sensing platform for occupancy and space-utilization data

Butlr deploys wireless, camera-free thermal sensors ("Heatic") that detect anonymous occupancy, traffic, dwell time, and movement patterns across buildings. Data is delivered through a native dashboard and a REST API/webhooks for integration with workplace, real estate, energy, and care-management systems.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Facilities and real estate teams often lack ground-truth data on how spaces are actually used, relying on badge swipes, Wi-Fi logs, or manual observation that are either privacy-invasive, inaccurate, or expensive to collect at scale.

The Solution

Anonymous thermal sensors detect presence, headcount, dwell time, and movement without cameras or personal identifiers, streaming occupancy and utilization data to a dashboard and API that downstream workplace, energy, and care-management systems can consume.
