Occupancy
Occupancy is used to indicate whether a location is actually in use (physically).
A location’s occupancy is detected by using sensors.
In Planon Software Suite, a location’s occupancy (to which an active measurement point is linked) is represented by an Occupancy status and a Reading value (displaying the number of people, in API 3).
Occupancy statuses
The data engine continuously updates occupancy statuses into Planon Software Suite. For calculating an occupancy status, the readings of the sensoring system and the previous occupancy status are taken into account.
The following occupancy statuses are updated by the data engine:
• Occupied
• Non-occupied
• Reservation imminent
• Idle
• Inactive
• Immeasurable
• Pause
