Scanalytics on the Road: Turning Smart Spaces into Smarter Communities
At Scanalytics, our mission goes beyond technology—we’re here to make environments more responsive, inclusive, and efficient. This month, our team hit the road to connect with customers, partners, and public-sector leaders who are shaping the future of smart buildings and sustainable communities.
From senior living spaces to high-performance buildings in Washington, D.C., Scanalytics is helping organizations unlock new insights from the ground up.
Empowering Senior Living Through Smart Flooring
Our CEO recently joined partner Tarkett at the Environments for Aging (EFA) Conference in beautiful springtime Lexington, KY—a key gathering focused on innovation in senior living design and care.
While the event provided a great opportunity to connect with architects, administrators, and providers, our real focus was showcasing how smart flooring technology enhances life in these communities. With discreet, sensor-enabled flooring, Scanalytics delivers real-time data on resident movement—without the need for wearables or invasive monitoring.
For senior living communities, this means:
Improved safety through early detection of unusual movement patterns or falls
Optimized staffing by understanding peak activity periods and underutilized areas
Better space design with analytics on how residents truly use their environments
As the senior living sector faces increasing pressure to balance care quality with operational efficiency, smart flooring represents a scalable, data-driven solution that supports both.

Driving Energy Efficiency at the Better Buildings Summit
Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., our Head of Sensor Hardware attended the Better Buildings Summit, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy. This annual summit unites commercial, government, and nonprofit leaders working toward decarbonization, electrification, and smart infrastructure.
Scanalytics was part of important conversations about how intelligent sensors can inform energy management strategies—from reducing lighting loads to managing HVAC more precisely based on actual occupancy.
Key takeaways included:
The rising demand for non-intrusive sensing in retrofits and multi-use buildings
Federal initiatives pushing for data-integrated buildings with measurable performance outcomes
Increased interest in open-platform solutions that can plug into broader smart building ecosystems
By capturing detailed foot traffic data, our platform enables building operators to make informed decisions that reduce waste, save money, and shrink environmental impact.
Building Smarter, Together
These trips reaffirmed a core belief at Scanalytics: technology must serve people first. Whether we’re helping care providers in senior communities or guiding sustainability leaders through digital transformation, our role is to listen, collaborate, and deliver real-world impact.
We’re grateful to our partners at Tarkett, the Department of Energy, and everyone we met along the way. The road ahead is full of opportunity—and we’re just getting started.
