Live Occupancy Management at InnoPort Powered by Optimus

InnoPort, CUHK’s flagship hub for entrepreneurship and innovation, is a dynamic space where students, researchers, and startups collaborate. To ensure that its facilities are used efficiently and transparently, InnoPort has adopted a real-time Live Occupancy Management system, powered by Optimus.

How Optimus Powers Live Occupancy

Optimus is an intelligent space management platform that seamlessly integrates with InnoPort’s infrastructure. It collects real-time data from sensors to provide a live view of space utilization.

Upon entering InnoPort, users and administrators can view a digital dashboard, updated by Optimus, that displays:

  • Current Occupancy: For example, Room 2A currently has 4 people present out of a maximum capacity of 36, representing a 11% occupancy rate.

  • Floor Plan Visualization: Desks are color-coded—green for available, red for occupied—making it easy to spot open workspaces at a glance. They are live with resolution up to 1-minute interval.

  • Detailed Occupancy Table: Optimus maintains a live table of desk assignments, including user names, company affiliations, and timestamps for the last update.

Occupancy Visualization

Optimus also generates visual summaries, such as occupancy charts, to help staff and users quickly understand space usage patterns:
