DANA POINT, Calif., Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Indoor Lab, a leading provider of indoor foot traffic analytics solutions for events and trade shows, and Quanergy, a leading provider of LiDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions, announced today they are bringing the first 3D LiDAR sensing and perception solutions to trade shows and events, providing organizers the ability to monitor real-time traffic flows, movement and behavior in open environments. These innovative solutions can deliver object and activity alerts that lend important insights into live activities taking place within an event venue. The benefits include increased physical security and post-event learnings organizers can use to better design and optimize trade show flow in the future.
The Indoor Lab introduced its flagship EventAnalyzer solution suite – which helps understand event attendee interest, intent and engagement – earlier this year. The suite is focused on helping trade show and event organizers, exhibitors and attendees reap greater ROI from their efforts through insights and connections. The introduction of The Indoor Lab's 3D LiDAR integration with EventAnalyzer, extends the company's offerings and provides even greater benefit to everyone across the trade show ecosystem.
A LiDAR (light detection and ranging) senses and sizes the location of objects to monitor and detect real-time movement within an indoor space. Quanergy provides both the LiDAR sensor hardware and perception software. This combination allows machines to sense and perceive their surroundings, making them smart machines that can detect and classify objects and analyze this data with QORTEX™, Quanergy's perception software, to help make informed decisions in real-time. Used in conjunction with EventAnalyzer, pedestrian flow, object detection and rate of movement analysis are possible within open areas of convention centers, arenas and other event venues.
"We are excited about our work with Quanergy to introduce the unique benefits of LiDAR to the event industry for the first time," said Patrick Blattner, co-founder of The Indoor Lab. "Trade shows and events will significantly benefit from the ability to better understand pedestrian activities and movements in real-time. The information gained from Quanergy's integration with our proprietary EventAnalyzer solution will help event organizers understand areas of saturation and bottlenecks, in addition to providing a way to review abnormal activities and react quickly to potential security threats. This information will also inform organizers on new ways to improve and enhance show floor designs in the future."
The first implementation of The Indoor Lab and Quanergy LiDAR solution will take place at IAEE Expo! Expo! annual exhibition from December 11th through 13th, 2018, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The technology will be presented live at registration and in The Indoor Lab booth, detecting and analyzing floor traffic with 3-centimeter precision in real time. The Indoor Lab will also be presenting a one-hour session on indoor tracking solutions called 3D LiDAR for Event Safety and Flow. Representatives from both The Indoor Lab and Quanergy will be available at booth #958 to provide demos and information to the nearly 300 exhibitors and 2,500 expected attendees throughout the event.
"The Indoor Lab is dedicated to helping the event industry evolve in important new ways," said Dr. Louay Eldada, CEO and co-founder of Quanergy. "Integrating Quanergy's LiDAR with The Indoor Lab's EventAnalyzer foot traffic solutions is an important step toward upgrading traditional methods for observing and analyzing pedestrian behavior during live exhibits. Together, we will help make trade shows and events safer, more effective and ultimately more beneficial for organizers, exhibitors and attendees alike."
