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 Touch Sensors precisely measure occupancy using accelerometer technology

Accelerometer-Based Micromovement Detection

1

MySeat sensors detect the subtle micromovements that occur when a person touchs a surface.

2

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

3

The system distinguishes between object presence (like placing an object) and actual human presence using refined algorithms.

4

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 99.8% accuracy.

10-Year Battery Life

Industry-leading power efficiency means our sensors run for up to 10 years on a single battery, dramatically reducing maintenance costs.

100% Wireless Installation

Set up in seconds without wiring, network configuration, or IT involvement. Each sensor works independently and securely.

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.
