Corporate team building, business trips, field inspections, and various business travel have all contributed to the growing demand for hotel stays. With advances in technology, today’s travellers expect more from the hospitality industry—seamless, intuitive services that anticipate their needs without requiring requests.
How, then, can hotel rooms become more intuitive, understanding and responding to human needs effortlessly? The answer lies in advanced smart technology, powered by millimetre wave radar sensing, designed to anticipate and cater to guests’ needs autonomously.
Millimeter waves, with frequencies ranging from approximately 30GHz to 300GHz, are harnessed by radar technology to achieve advanced detection capabilities. Millimetre wave radar leverages this frequency range to provide superior spatial resolution and enhanced penetration compared to traditional radar systems, enabling more precise detection and identification of targets.
By utilising the technology’s strong penetration, high resistance to interference, and exceptional sensitivity, human presence sensors offer highly accurate and detailed detection in indoor environments. These sensors monitor subtle human movements with precision, such as the faint rise and fall of the abdomen during breathing, and continuously track the body’s stationary state through Merrytek’s leading algorithm, which meticulously analyses fine movements and breathing patterns.
Merrytek’s Human presence sensors employing millimeter wave radar technology enable hotel rooms to actively detect and respond to guest presence. Upon entry, a continuous, non-intrusive data exchange is initiated—capturing minute physiological and movement-related signals. These signals, including subtle changes in respiration and body motion, are precisely interpreted by Merrytek’s sensors. This real-time data processing triggers a range of sophisticated, automated services tailored to the guest’s needs through Merrytek’s advanced sensing algorithm.
By installing a human presence sensor in the guest room, the system can instantly detect when someone enters the room and automatically activate power upon door opening.
Whether walking, sitting, working, studying, or sleeping deeply at night or getting up in the early morning, the sensor can accurately detect human body behavior to deliver intelligent and adaptive lighting control scenarios.
The sensor integrates with smart devices such as curtains, televisions, and air conditioners to create diverse living scenarios, offering more intelligent and personalised services for guests.
Precisely detects human occupancy status within the guest room and intelligently controls in-room devices, providing technical support pathway in enabling energy conservation and cost reduction for hotel operations.
Merrytek has consistently focused on the forefront development and innovation of millimeter-wave radar sensing technology. To address the limitations of and short coming of other generic conventional human sensors in smart hotel applications, Merrytek has innovatively introduced a series of products based on 24GHz millimeter-wave detection technology, including deep sleep sensors and spatial presence sensors. These products address the shortcoming of existing human presence sensors in accurately detecting subtle respiratory signals during sleep, delivery true “one breath, one detection” performance.
