Each Vision Agent is tasked with a specific function and uses streaming video to provide insights into a retail use case. The agents can be easily deployed and leverage existing cameras and a Smart Hub appliance.
The Occupancy Agent helps you comply with public health directives on occupancy, without allocating additional staff resources. Utilizing dedicated camera feeds, this agent features a live occupancy tracker to help ensure store occupancy does not exceed retailer-configured limits. The dashboard also provides information on other key indicators, such as time of last entrance. The Occupancy Agent becomes customer-facing when combined with digital signage, helping to alleviate customer anxieties when entering a store.
These agents help monitor queuing areas to determine the number of people currently waiting in line, as well as the hourly average. An alert is triggered when the number of people waiting exceeds a set threshold; each queue can have its own individual threshold. These agents also help ensure shoppers are maintaining appropriate distance from one another based on retailer-defined parameters. Alerts are pushed when a violation is detected.
As localities continue to enforce the use of facial coverings in public areas, these agents can help you ensure the safety of shoppers and employees. Mask Detection Agents utilize store video feeds to detect use of facial masks within a pre-determined area of the store. The dashboard provides the number of violations as well as the location of the violation.
The Audience Measurement Agent helps determine the type of customers that enter the store by giving insights into their demographics and approximate mood. Analytics are gathered by anonymously categorizing customers that linger in an assigned camera’s field of view for an extended period of time, aggregating data on gender, relative age, gaze direction and audience sentiment. You can use this data to help better identify store demographics and marketing opportunities.
Traffic Agents provide insights on traffic patterns and help you observe the path-to-purchase of people within the store. Retailers can learn more about shopper behavior through data provided on dwell time, lateral customer movement, customer directionality and average traffic counts.
