Automated heatmap of facility usage

Purpose

 1.1 Automates the collection, aggregation, and visualization of facility usage data into heatmaps for marksmen's clubhouses.
 1.2 Automates identification of facility hotspots, underutilized zones, and peak usage times to optimize space allocation and scheduling.
 1.3 Automates real-time monitoring of user movement, equipment usage, and attendance via IoT devices, access controls, and digital sign-ins.
 1.4 Automates feedback loops for continuous facility improvement based on usage analytics, supporting resource planning and member engagement strategies.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1 Automator initiates upon member check-in through digital ID, access gate, or booking system.
 2.2 Automatable triggers from sensor input (RFID scans, motion sensors) or usage log update.
 2.3 Scheduled automations every hour, day, or week for aggregated heatmap generation.
 2.4 Manual trigger available for administrators via dashboard.
