Ensuring Social Distancing Compliance During COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining social distancing became crucial to protect public health. Government guidelines required businesses to actively manage customer flow and prevent large gatherings within their premises. However, in a busy store environment, it was challenging for staff and managers to constantly monitor and enforce these guidelines manually. The risk of missing critical situations where customers were gathering in large groups posed a potential safety hazard, and a solution was urgently needed to ensure compliance and safety.

To address this, our AI-powered system was integrated with the existing CCTV infrastructure to automatically monitor customer behavior in real-time. The AI continuously analyzed video footage, detecting instances where groups of people gathered closely for more than three minutes. When such gatherings were identified, the system instantly captured an image of the scene and sent it, along with the precise location, to the store manager’s device. This allowed the manager to promptly intervene and remind customers to maintain a safe distance, effectively reducing risks and ensuring compliance with government regulations. The proactive approach not only safeguarded customer health but also helped businesses maintain a secure and orderly environment during a challenging time.
