Intelligent People Counting: PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS Transforms SITTIN Benches into Urban Data Sources
The SITTIN smart bench, developed and produced by PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS, has taken another step in the evolution of smart street furniture solutions with an innovative people counting system, transforming each bench into a real-time data collection point and a powerful tool for urban management and Smart City strategies.
Municipalities, public space managers, and businesses face a common challenge: making decisions based on real data about the use of urban spaces. Knowing how many people use a bench, at what times, and how often is critical information for optimizing space management, planning urban interventions, and evaluating the impact of equipment installed on public roads, gardens, squares, or commercial areas.
Without this information, urban management often operates based on estimates, compromising the efficiency of resources and the quality of decisions.
People Counting System Integrated with SITTIN
PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS has developed a people counting system fully integrated with the SITTIN smart bench, creating a cohesive, robust solution prepared to operate in demanding urban environments.
Smart Hardware in the Field
Each SITTIN bench is equipped with sensors that detect, in real time, the presence of seated individuals. The sensors are connected to a controller installed on the bench, responsible for processing and transmitting occupancy data to the central server. Whenever someone sits down or stands up, the controller immediately reports this event, ensuring a continuous, accurate, and up-to-date record.
Backoffice: Accessible Data, Smarter Decisions
All information collected by banks is centralized and made available in the system’s backoffice, an intuitive platform that allows:
- Real-time visualization of each bench's occupancy;
- Detailed incident log, each event of someone sitting or standing is recorded individually
- Data export for external analysis and integration into reports;
- Advanced filters by time range, specific dates, and selected benches, for comparative analysis between locations and periods
API: Simple Integration with External Platforms
The solution includes an API that allows direct integration with urban management platforms, municipal systems, Smart City dashboards, and other third-party software. This technological openness makes SITTIN, with its people counting system, a highly compatible solution with existing digital ecosystems, without the need to replace infrastructure or create technological dependencies.
