Company Overview

Terabee is a highly specialized French technology company that operates at the cutting edge of Time-of-Flight (ToF) LED sensors, thermal imaging, and advanced spatial analytics. Born out of research near the CERN particle physics laboratory, Terabee initially gained fame by engineering ultra-lightweight distance sensors for autonomous drones and robotics.

When the live event and corporate sectors demanded advanced health and spatial monitoring, Terabee rapidly deployed their specialized sensor expertise. They developed the Terabee Fever Screening kit, a highly discreet, incredibly fast thermal screening solution that completely avoided the complex, bulky setup of traditional CCTV thermal cameras. It was designed to integrate seamlessly into office turnstiles and VIP event entrances.

More critically for the modern event industry, Terabee is a massive player in ‘People Counting’ and spatial analytics. They manufacture specialized 3D Time-of-Flight sensors that mount discreetly on the ceiling above event doors. Without using cameras (thereby completely protecting attendee privacy and GDPR compliance), these sensors emit invisible light pulses to accurately count the exact number of people entering or exiting a massive trade show hall, providing organizers with flawless, real-time crowd density metrics.

Core Technologies

📏

Time-of-Flight (ToF) Tech

Terabee specializes in ToF technology, which emits rapid pulses of invisible infrared light and measures exactly how long it takes to bounce back, creating highly accurate 3D spatial maps without capturing video.

🛡️

Privacy-by-Design

Their People Counting sensors do not use optical lenses. They only see 3D depth data (like a blob moving through a door), meaning they are 100% GDPR compliant because they cannot physically capture a human face.

🌡️

Discreet Thermal Integration

Their fever screening modules are designed to be tiny and embeddable. Instead of a massive camera on a tripod, the sensor can be built directly into an access control turnstile.

Featured Solutions

Terabee Fever Screening

An ultra-compact, automated thermal screening module. It provides instant visual feedback and can be wired directly into electronic door locks to automatically deny entry to individuals with elevated temperatures.

People Counting L-XL

Advanced ceiling-mounted 3D ToF sensors that accurately count foot traffic through massive convention center doors. Crucial for fire-code compliance and calculating event ROI.

TeraRanger Sensors

Ultra-lightweight distance sensors heavily used by event technologists to build interactive art installations or prevent massive indoor drones from crashing into stage rigging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a camera and a ToF sensor?

A camera captures light and color, creating a picture of a face. A ToF (Time-of-Flight) sensor captures distance, creating a 3D depth map. A ToF sensor can tell that a 6-foot human walked through a door, but it is impossible for it to know who that person is.

How does the fever screening connect to doors?

The Terabee module has standard digital output relays. If a normal temperature is detected, it sends a signal to open the electronic turnstile. If a high temperature is detected, it cuts the signal, keeping the door locked.

Is Terabee equipment used for security surveillance?

No. Terabee focuses heavily on data, analytics, robotics, and health screening. Because their sensors are designed for privacy and do not capture recognizable video, they are not used for identifying criminals or standard security monitoring.
