Upgrade to a Smarter Building using Enterprise IT Networks
Add occupancy & space utilization, energy management, cleaning tracking, and more using existing network infrastructure
See How Rigado Sensor Networks Make the Difference
Key Use Cases for Smart Buildings & Offices
Rigado sensor networks can quickly get started on your smart buildings journey.
Common use cases include:
- Desk occupancy using the RS-40 desk sensor. Feed live occupancy directly to cloud applications to understand space utilization and hot desk availability.
- People counting for floors and conference rooms using the APS-90E. Get a highly accurate (98%+) count of occupancy to better gauge space needs and see utilization trends in key areas
- Cleaning & Comfort using air quality sensors, tags, and buttons. These wireless sensors can be placed throughout the building with data fed to any workplace management application.
- Energy Management with self-describing current transformers provides value data for grid-interactive building and de-carbonization efforts.

Getting Started with Occupancy & Space Utilization
The first step towards a smarter building can be as simple as deploying motion sensors and people counters to analyze space utilization.
The Swift Kit for Azure IoT is the fastest way to trial our gateway and sensor technology using production hardware.
