10 Fun Facts About Scanalytics
10. One of our co-founders was an enlisted Marine and served for six years
Semper Fi!
9. One of our Co-Founders has a PhD in Particle Physics
Quarks, protons, neutrons, bosons, fermions, electron neutrinos - quiz us!
8. Buildings account for over two-thirds of the energy consumed in the U.S. Through a grant multi-state pilot with the Department of Energy, the Scanalytics Smart Flooring system showed a 35% decrease in energy through its precise occupancy data and connections with energy-hungry HVAC and lighting systems

7. When Scanalytics had a demo (smart flooring underlay and dashboard screen to show data) outside our office, people took frequent side trips to experience it in action and see which color their path recreation would be - this video shows a “day at a conference” each line is a person and their unique path:
6. Our HQ is in Madison, WI. Nicknamed “MadTown” it claims the pink plastic flamingo as its official bird, is one of only 5 platinum-level bike cities in the US, has over 260 parks, and 6,000 acres of parkland, and is home to 15,000 acres of lakes. On an isthmus (the only other US city to claim this is Seattle,) Lake Mendota is most studied lake in America. Home to the University of Wisconsin (go Badgers!) if you catch a foul ball at a Mallard’s game, you win a free hot dog
5. One of our co-founders has done a Ted Talk

4. The Scanalytics Smart Flooring system has 12 patents!
Patent Protector, Tester and Fan, Willow
3. Our sensor technology is anonymous, precise and can differentiate between different humans crossing paths, carts, wheelchairs, luggage, show directionality and recreate customer journeys and occupants’ use of space. (Note: this is very, very hard to do, all with a inexpensive, easy-to-install sensor underlayment!)
2. If you’re in Atlanta, you can visit the beautiful Mannington Commercial Design Center. We’re featured in their Innovation Room

Every building that has ever been built, and probably every building that ever will be built, will have a floor. We spent over 90% of our modern lives inside buildings. Harnessing the power of human spatial data behavior from the floors below us, with an award-winning, patented system like Scanalytics means energy savings, healthier resident and patient outcomes, better use of facilities management time and money, and a far more secure, adaptive environment
Our buildings can do far more to serve us and our world - let's harness this power with Smart Flooring, efficiently, safely, and wisely
