Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into multiple sectors as one more element of security and access control in public venues. The global health crisis caused by COVID-19 has shown that AI technologies, combined with traditional network and communication systems , are an effective alternative to manage the capacity of any space or establishment and the restricted access to them.
The sanitary measures dictated by the authorities to deal with the coronavirus include the obligation to have a contingency plan that obliges all premises open to the public to maintain social distancing and control their capacity. Shopping centers and stores, gyms, restaurants or hotels, among others, work to equip their facilities with cutting-edge solutions and technology that allow them to meet these demands.
Sensors and AI to register people
Technologies from manufacturers such as Cisco Meraki, Axis and Hikvision, integrated with advanced analytics software from companies such as VAPP and the field experience of fibratel, make it possible to deploy advanced video surveillance systems that integrate sensors controlled by artificial intelligence and securely record the number of people who enter and leave an establishment, facilitating its permanent monitoring and control. Their solutions even incorporate additional features such as the collection of advanced analytics that allow not only to increase the efficiency of the systems, but also a more appropriate and profitable use of these systems.
This innovation takes advantage of the intelligent and automated analysis of video images, through software specially designed for this purpose and that is responsible for transforming the video obtained from a camera into data that can be used for various purposes, far beyond simple access surveillance.
Guarantee the security
With this type of solutions, establishments have at their disposal a comprehensive report of the activity in their facilities, which allows them not only to guarantee maximum safety, but also an analysis of consumer behavior, which enhances their operational efficiency and improves their business processes.
Artificial intelligence technology allows entities to know and evaluate peak hours, human trafficking, distinguishing by sex and age range, their body temperature, and even the mood of the people who access a venue , generating maps of heat that offer graphically comprehensive information on all attendees, which allows the facilities to be adapted to the actual capacity or to generate personalized campaigns, depending on the information collected.
A very suitable type of solution for any type of shopping or leisure center, but which are also beginning to incorporate large brands of vehicles, luxury or tourist goods, to name a few examples.
