The XR-Series 3D Sensors are embedded systems. This means the data is not only gathered but also processed on the device. As a result, XR-Series customers receive the data faster, use less energy and save both space and money due to fewer infrastructure requirements. Unlike other technologies, XR-Series people counting and tracking sensors feature a small computer for data processing. Thus a separate expensive on-site server to gather, pre-process and deliver data is not required. The technology detects people in it, generates events, object streams and stores basic analytical data onboard. Usually the data is sent out via multiple data push options. Direct image processing also helps in keeping the data anonymous.
