PointGrab is an Israeli company founded in 2008, with deep roots in computer vision. ABB invested in the company in 2015, and it launched its CogniPoint occupancy sensor the following year.
PointGrab position themselves as a pioneer in enterprise occupancy sensing for commercial offices. Their CogniPoint sensor is an optical edge-AI device mounted in the ceiling that counts people and tracks occupancy and position across desks, rooms and open areas, with all analysis on the sensor so no images are stored or transmitted.
PointGrab suits owners and occupiers who need desk-level space utilisation data to guide workplace planning and building controls.
