Xyte and PointGrab Collaborate to Enhance AV System Efficiency with Real-Time Occupancy Data

Mountain View, California and Kfar Saba, ISRAEL – March 24, 2025  – Xyte, developer of the first all-in-one cloud platform for device manufacturers and system integrators, today announced a partnership with PointGrab, a pioneer in smart sensor technology for the workplace. This collaboration integrates PointGrab’s advanced people-counting sensors with Xyte Connect+, enabling businesses to optimize their workplace systems by providing real-time data on space utilization, occupancy, and equipment usage.

PointGrab’s CogniPoint sensors track the number of people in meeting rooms, desks, huddle spaces, and collaborative areas, offering granular and accurate insights into how workspaces are being utilized. By integrating this data into the Xyte Device Cloud, integrators and enterprises can monitor and manage both their AV resources and workspaces more effectively, ensuring equipment is used efficiently, reducing energy consumption, and improving overall operational performance.

“As workplaces continue to evolve, this partnership with PointGrab offers significant opportunities for AV integrators to provide more efficient, scalable solutions for their clients,” said Omer Brookstein, CEO and cofounder of Xyte. “By utilizing real-time data to drive AV system optimization, businesses can reduce costs, improve system performance, and create more flexible and responsive workspaces.”

This integration addresses growing challenges for AV integrators: in addition to ensuring that AV equipment is available when needed and powered down during off-peak hours, integrators can expand their services to design smarter systems that automatically adjust based on actual space usage. This will enable them to optimize energy usage and resource allocation, prolong AV equipment lifespans, and offer more extensive demand-based services that rely on real-time, accurate occupancy data.

“Integrating our sensors with Xyte’s cloud platform gives the AV integrators community a powerful tool to optimize device deployments, improve space utilization, and create more energy-efficient environments,” said Amir Einav, CEO of PointGrab. “By providing actionable data on occupancy across the various spaces in the office, businesses can make more informed decisions about their AV and real estate investments and enhance user experience.”

PointGrab’s data, when paired with Xyte Device Cloud, enables AV integrators to grow from smart meeting rooms service providers into smart buildings service providers. With more services focused on optimized utilization of space, enhanced user experience, and green efficient operations, businesses can leverage this partnership to dynamically adjust AV system settings - automatically powering devices up or down depending on room usage – as well as create a dynamic and connected workplace experience for their employees.
