About Density
What is Density?
Density offers plug-and-play occupancy sensors (called Waffle) that count 0, 1, 2, or 3+ people in real time. No batteries, no complex wiring — just power and WiFi. It solves the problem of knowing how your space is actually used: meeting rooms, open areas, phone booths, and desks. Data is available via API or the Atlas dashboard with under 1-second latency.
Who is Density for?
Ideal for workplace managers, facility teams, and CRE professionals who need accurate occupancy data without invasive cameras or high upfront costs. It’s not designed for residential use or outdoor counting. Smaller companies benefit from the self-install design, while larger enterprises can scale with volume pricing.
Real use cases
Right-size your real estate by seeing which desks stay empty. Automatically clean spaces after they’ve been used. Help employees find free rooms or desks with live wayfinding. Integrate occupancy data into existing apps or building management systems.
