Irisys

What Irisys does

Irisys (legal entity: InfraRed Integrated Systems Ltd) is a UK-based B2B technology company that historically specialized in infrared-based people counting and occupancy monitoring solutions. Its core technology relied on thermal imaging sensors, most notably the Vector 4D people counter — described by the company as offering industry-leading accuracy, completely anonymous person detection, and unique staff detection capability — alongside the True Occupancy platform, a real-time occupancy monitoring and space utilization software layer. The combined sensor-plus-platform offering was deployed across multiple verticals including retail stores, corporate offices and workplaces, higher education campuses, airports, train stations, supermarkets, and visitor attractions and libraries.

The company pursued an enterprise field-sales go-to-market model, supplemented by a partner/reseller channel, targeting large organizations globally. Revenue mechanics were historically anchored in hardware sales (Vector 4D sensors and supporting devices) with associated support and maintenance services. Customer segments were organized vertically, with retail stores and corporate real estate identified as primary segments, and higher education, transportation, supermarkets, and public venues as secondary segments.

Irisys was acquired by Fluke Corporation (itself a subsidiary of Fortive Corporation) during 2022-2023 and now operates as "A Fluke Brand." Following the acquisition, the company discontinued sale of all products, including the Vector 4D and True Occupancy platform, and is currently providing limited technical support to existing customers only. The company's homepage explicitly states "Irisys products are no longer available," and prospective customers are directed to Fluke.com. As such, Irisys now functions as a support and wind-down entity rather than an active commercial vendor, with no new sales motion or product roadmap evident in the input data.

Direct peers

• Xovis: Swiss-headquartered direct peer selling 3D and AI-enabled people-counting sensors for airports, retail, and smart buildings. Directly overlaps with Irisys's airport/train-station passenger-counting solutions.
• FootfallCam: Direct peer offering 3D people-counting sensors and footfall analytics for retail, malls, and smart buildings. Competes head-to-head with Irisys Vector 4D in retail traffic and queue management use cases.
• Density: Direct peer providing anonymous people-counting and occupancy sensors for workplaces and retail. Closely comparable in privacy-preserving detection architecture and enterprise SaaS analytics layer.
• VergeSense: Direct peer offering workplace occupancy sensors and space-utilization analytics. Closely competes in the corporate real estate / smart-building segment where Irisys True Occupancy is positioned.
• Hella Aglaia Mobile Vision: Direct peer developing optical sensor systems including people-counting and occupancy analytics for retail, transit, and smart-city applications. Comparable in infrared/optical hardware technology stack.

Broad incumbents

• Sensormatic Solutions (ShopperTrak): Broad incumbent in retail traffic analytics (via the ShopperTrak acquisition). Competes with Irisys in retail customer counting but serves a much larger portfolio of retail loss-prevention and operations solutions.
• RetailNext: Broad incumbent offering retail analytics combining people counting, traffic, and in-store behavior. Overlaps with Irisys's retail customer counting and customer flow analytics solutions.
• Cisco DNA Spaces: Broad incumbent providing workplace occupancy and location analytics using existing network infrastructure. Competes with Irisys in the corporate real estate / smart-building segment as part of a much larger networking portfolio.
• Microsoft Places: Broad incumbent offering workplace occupancy and space-management capabilities integrated with Microsoft 365. Adjacent competitor in the workplace occupancy data layer where Irisys True Occupancy sells.

Others

• FLIR Systems (Teledyne FLIR): Thermal imaging technology provider and sister-brand-adjacent to Irisys through its Fluke/Fortive corporate parentage. Comparable in infrared/thermal sensing hardware technology, though not a direct competitor in the people-counting solutions market.
