Xiamen, China, April 23, 2025 – Milesight, a global leader in innovative IoT and security solutions, and A1 Innovation Group, a pioneering systems integrator specializing in people counting, smart parking, and building automation, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver end-to-end IoT solutions for North American commercial and industrial sectors. This collaboration integrates Milesight’s AI-driven sensing devices with A1’s robust analytics platform, empowering shopping centres, retailers, casinos, commercial buildings, and entertainment venues to optimize operations through real-time spatial intelligence.
Precision-Driven Industry Expertise
Milesight and A1 Innovation Group's partnership combines advanced people sensing products with extensive integration expertise to revolutionize intelligent spatial management. By merging Milesight’s adaptable, GDPR-compliant sensing solutions with A1’s SaaS analytics platform, they overcome traditional IoT limitations to tackle challenges in high-density sectors. This alliance enhances accuracy in dynamic spaces and leverages LoRaWAN® wireless architecture for scalable, cost-effective deployments. The collaboration focuses on unifying data streams for actionable insights, optimizing the shopping centre experience, and enhancing public safety. Future initiatives include developing ethical AI for anonymized behavioral analytics, promoting cross-industry interoperability, and setting global standards for smart city resilience, impacting healthcare, education, and industrial sectors.
Data-Driven Profitability Solutions
Milesight’s AI-powered people sensing products integrate advanced algorithms to deliver real-time heatmaps and dwell-time analytics in large environments like stadiums and convention centres. Casinos use these crowd density insights to enhance security and personalize VIP experiences, while retailers optimize store layouts to improve foot-to-sales conversion rates through data-driven space utilization. A1 Innovation Group’s UDL+LED guidance system, combined with Milesight’s wireless occupancy sensors, provides instant updates on parking availability, reducing driver search time and improving customer satisfaction. This solution also dynamically adjusts HVAC and lighting systems based on real-time parking data, helping shopping centres reduce energy waste and meet sustainability goals. Milesight’s LoRaWAN®-enabled leak detection and restroom occupancy sensors replace legacy wired infrastructure, significantly cutting deployment timelines and installation costs. Paired with A1’s analytics platform, businesses gain actionable insights into spatial efficiency, identifying underutilized zones in office towers and reconfiguring layouts for hybrid workforce models.
“A1 Innovation’s deep domain expertise in high-stakes environments like casinos perfectly complements Milesight’s wireless innovation,” said Andy Lee, Sales Director at Milesight. “Together, we turn occupancy, foot traffic, and dwell time data into profit-driving insights—whether it's optimizing a casino’s floor plan or enhancing a shopping centre’s customer journey and operational flow to maximize the value of every leasable space.”
“This partnership has brought us a true innovation ally—one that shares our commitment to advancing IoT hardware and aligns seamlessly with our core pillars of People Counting, Parking Guidance, and Smart Building automation. With their ability to pivot and respond quickly, we’re better equipped to meet our clients’ evolving needs and confidently execute our vision of optimizing the movement of people and vehicles across commercial and retail spaces,” said John Plainos, President of A1 Innovation Group.
