Understand Office Space.Cut Costs.
How many desks do you really need? Which meeting rooms are always "booked" but empty? We deliver the privacy-compliant infrastructure for modern space management and healthy work environments.
- GDPR Compliant (Privacy by Design)
- Separate Network (No IT Risk)
- Retrofit Ready (Battery Powered)
Data for the New World of Work.
Hybrid work makes office space planning difficult. Companies often rent too much space or use the wrong layout. We replace estimates with anonymous, hard facts.
Ghost Meetings
Rooms are booked in the calendar but remain empty. Colleagues can't find a spot even though the office is half empty.
Real-time Occupancy Sensors
No-shows lose their booking (auto-release in calendar).
"Stuffy Air"
High CO2 levels in meeting rooms lead to fatigue and poor concentration.
Smart Air Quality Monitoring
E-Ink displays with traffic light systems signal ventilation needs or control the HVAC system.
IT Security
The IT department doesn't want hundreds of IoT sensors on the sensitive corporate WiFi.
Dedicated LoRaWAN Network
Physically separated from the corporate network. Maximum security.
Infrastructure for New Work.
merkaio core
Deployment of Milesight workplace sensors. Discreet, battery-powered, and installable without cable routing ("Peel & Stick").
merkaio ops
We operate the LoRaWAN building network. We handle gateway updates and battery management so your facility managers don't have to.
merkaio dev
We integrate sensor data into your existing world: Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, Teams or booking systems. We build the middleware that releases rooms in the calendar.
Sensors That Don't Disturb.
Milesight VS121 / VS133
The AI Counter
For meeting rooms & cafeterias.
- AI-powered people counting (up to 98% accuracy). Detects whether 1 or 8 people are in the room.
- Privacy: Processes images locally on chip and sends only anonymous count values. No video!
Milesight AM319
The Ambience Monitor
For open space & offices.
- 9-in-1: Measures CO2, temperature, humidity, light, noise (HCHO/TVOC optional).
- Design: Modern E-Ink display shows employees air quality directly (smiley/traffic light).
Milesight WS202 / VS34x
The Desk Tracker
For desks & phone booths.
- PIR (infrared) or ToF (laser) detects whether an individual workplace is occupied.
- Mounting: Simply stick under the desk.
From Sensor to Decision.

Heatmaps
Which zones in the office are "hotspots", which are "dead corners"? (Important for renovation planning).
Cleaning Planning
Usage-based cleaning ("Smart Cleaning"). Restrooms or rooms are only cleaned when they've been used.
Live Kiosk
A screen at the entrance shows where free spots are available.
Privacy by Design.
We know that sensors in the office are a sensitive topic. Our architecture is works council compliant:
No Cameras
We use infrared, laser, or anonymized AI counting. No faces are captured.
No Personal IDs
We measure "Occupied/Free" or "Number of People". We don't know who is sitting there.
Separate Networks
Sensor data doesn't flow through your internal network.
