One of the richest sources of data is computer vision, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze video footage or 3D Lidar laser point clouds to detect behaviors, movements, intrusions, and types of objects in order to generate a wealth of different insights and alerts. Other data comes from various sensors, machines and building systems. Lumada Video Insights collects this data, analyzes it, and provides applications and tools to help reach desired outcomes.

Smart spaces improve safety and security, efficiency of operations and resource use, as well as the experience of customers, passengers, managers or workers in the space.

• Safety: Real time alerts about intrusions, PPE detection, left-behind objects, thermal scanning for elevated body temperature, dangerous individual detection, handwashing verification, and more provide proactive situational awareness, along with incident management, and unified systems for robust analysis and visibility into spaces.
• Operations: Optimize staffing and schedules, analyze traffic volume, direction and vehicle composition, analyze, improve and optimize machine and/or human processes, analyze parking, optimize building space usage and scheduling.
• Experience: Analyze queue volumes, wait times, and abandonment rates, optimize store or office layout, maximize throughput, understand product preferences to improve availability and offers, provide real-time information to customers.
