Safeguarding Your Business in Our New Normal with Canon - Business Insight
Safeguarding Your Business in Our New Normal with Canon
As our society starts adapting to a new normal post-circuit breaker, businesses are eager to resume operations in a safe and virus-free environment. New safety protocols for businesses and workplaces have been set in place, including staggered working arrangements, social distancing, and minimising physical meetings. For many companies, particularly SMEs, the lack of manpower or resources can make such mandates challenging to manage. This is a cause for concern when their employees’ and customers’ lives are at risk.
That is why many businesses are choosing AI and digital tools to support them in enforcing safe practices. Here at Canon, we provide a suite of AI-powered solutions designed to make sure you implement safety protocols in compliance with government regulations, while empowering your business and keeping your employees safe.
Here’s how Canon’s solutions can help your company emerge from this crisis stronger.
Ensuring Safe Distancing with innoVi
Implementing safe distancing measures can be time consuming and difficult to enforce manually. Businesses should consider investing in tools to minimise face-to-face contact between employees. One such tool is innoVi, a cloud-based video analytics Software as a Service (SaaS). Powered by cutting-edge AI technology, innoVi is capable of real-time proximity identification and detection and alerts administrators when social distancing policies are violated. Its proprietary algorithm is able to distinguish between different targets and objects with a high degree of precision.
innoVi is also equipped with a slew of smart features that can automate and strengthen your safety management processes. For example, its useful video search capabilities enable automatic retrieval and analysis of recorded footage. Management can utilise this function to maximise the speed of investigations when required, identifying suspect cases quickly and efficiently.
Easy to use with minimal maintenance, innoVi was designed to integrate easily into your existing network surveillance tools. Offering scalability on an unlimited number of cameras, you can transform any ONVIF/RTSP fixed IP camera into an intelligent video device. Surveillance over remote and/or multiple sites is made effortless with its centrally-managed platform.
The feature-rich solution can be utilised for other aspects of your business as well, such as safeguarding against theft or learning about human behaviour and patterns to inform business decisions.
Manage Your Headcount Effectively with People Counter
Crowd management is an undeniably effective measure in preventing the spread of COVID-19. This is especially important as our society resumes events and social activities in public areas across the nation.
Canon’s People Counter is a robust video content analysis (VCA) tool that enables you to manage crowd control efficiently for mid- to large-scale counting. This piece of technology leverages Canon's expertise in imaging technology and the power of AI to automatically analyse and count the total number of people present in videos and/or images in real-time.
Users will be glad to note that the People Counter boasts high accuracy in human detection. It is able to accurately detect the number of people in a crowd even when the subjects in question are back or side-facing the camera and there are low-light conditions.
This tool also makes crowd management easier for administrators, with useful functionalities like defining specific areas for counting and analysis. Its Passerby Counter function also allows users to demarcate a line within the video or image, which tells the software to analyse and track the number of people who cross this mapped out line in both directions.
The People Counter can be smoothly integrated into existing business tools to enhance greater productivity and efficiency when it comes to crowd control. It can also support your business in the long term, equipping you with valuable insights on foot traffic and consumer behaviour.
Canon is dedicated to supporting you and your business as we collectively work towards overcoming these trying times. Together with practical software such as the Facial Access Control Temperature System (FACTS), you can safeguard your business with Canon’s holistic solutions during and beyond this unprecedented period.
