PointGrab Joins Cisco Digital Ceiling Initiative for Smarter Buildings
PointGrab joined the Cisco Digital Ceiling framework as a partner for
developing building automation solutions over one IP network. The Cisco
Digital Ceiling is an IoT-based solution that connects building services in a
single, converged IP network through an extensive ecosystem of technologies.
PointGrab’s edge analytics smart sensor, CogniPoint, provides occupancy
analytics and connectivity with the aim of ensuring that organizations are
able to make better, more informed decisions affecting building management.
As a member of the Cisco Digital Ceiling framework, PointGrab is
collaborating with leading organizations to drive toward smarter, connected,
and more secure buildings. PointGrab joins Cisco Digital Ceiling partners such
as Philips and Cree for lighting, Johnson Controls for building automation, and
Relayr for ISVs, among others.

“The quality and breadth of information available for digital building
management is determined by the smart sensor’s data capture and analysis,
making sensors a critical technology for smart buildings,” said Itamar Roth,
Chief Business Officer, PointGrab. “PointGrab’s inclusion in the Cisco Digital
Ceiling partnership is a welcome recognition of the CogniPoint sensor’s
unique contribution to next generation building automation.”
By embedding deep learning technology into optical sensing devices,
PointGrab’s CogniPoint sensor provides analytics precision in the detection of
occupants’ locations, count, and movements, thus enabling effective office
space management and enhancing buildings’ operations efficiency. The
sensor is a miniature network-connected device, running state-of–the-art
deep learning algorithms on a low-cost embedded ARM-based processor.
