Unique & Exclusive Technology
MySeat's proprietary hardware and software stack is purpose-built for workplace optimization, delivering unparalleled accuracy with minimal maintenance.
Principle of Detection
How MySeat Sensors precisely measure occupancy using a MEMS accelerometer
Accelerometer-Based Micromovement Detection
MySeat sensors detect the subtle micromovements that occur when a person touches a surface.
Each sensor is equipped with a high-precision 3 axis accelerometer that measures micro-vibrations (10E-6)x g and processes the 150 samples per second to determin if the a strcture is used
The system distinguishes between object presence (like placing an object) and actual human presence using refined algorithms.
Within 4 -10 seconds, the system accurately detects occupancy status changes with 99.8% accuracy.
Unlike infrared or radar-based systems, MySeat sensors don't require line-of-sight or constant emission of signals, making them more reliable, efficient, and privacy-conscious.
Accelerometer-Based Sensing
Unlike camera or infrared solutions, our accelerometer technology detects actual presence while preserving privacy, with unmatched accuracy.
10-Year Battery Life
Industry-leading power efficiency means our sensors run for up to 10 years, dramatically reducing maintenance costs.
100% Wireless Installation
Set up in seconds without wiring, network configuration, or IT involvement. Each sensor works independently and securely. We don't just mail you a box, we take care of everything onsite.
Advanced Data Analytics
Our proprietary algorithms turn raw data into actionable insights, identifying patterns and opportunities other systems miss.
Canadian-Made Quality
Designed and manufactured in Quebec, our sensors meet the highest standards of reliability and performance in any environment.
Ultra-low Maintenance Design
Install once and forget. No calibration, no firmware updates, and no adjustments needed thanks to our industrial-grade components.
