Physical distancing enabled by Xovis technology
Complying with respective regulations end providing a safe environment to concerned customers is the key to keeping stores open or to reopen as soon as possible. Xovis 3D (stereovision) sensors accurately measure people flow and thus offer the necessary data to develop analytic solutions to accurately manage the fill level and monitor distance between individuals (e.g. in queues).
Xovis technology enables businesses to comply with capacity regulations and provide a safe environment for customers with no additional entrance staff and without risking further spread of the virus through exposed staff or physical tickets. A simple screen at the entrance is enough to communicate fill levels to customers.
We at Xovis always strive to deliver high quality Swiss-made products and services to solve people flow for our customers. We want to help local and global businesses alike to reopen as soon as possible by managing people flow smooth and efficiently.
Why limiting the number of people in public places and stores is essential to contain the virus
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the virus spreads through close contact between people:
Via droplets: Sneezing or coughing
Via the hands: Contagious droplets get onto the hands
Via surfaces: Surfaces where virus droplets are present
Keeping distance helps to prevent the spread significantly
People can only adhere to these rules if overcrowding in stores and public places is managed through limiting the number of people
How people counting technology can help manage store fill levels and physical distance to keep staff and customers safe
The sensors are placed over the entrance to count people inflow and outflow.
Similar to the workings of the human eye, ceiling mounted Xovis 3D Sensors capture the scene below using stereo vision.
With the data processed on the sensor itself, anonymous real-time data is available for immediate action.
By determining the maximum capacity and by counting the number of people entering and leaving, the fill level can be managed live.
Multiple sensors can be connected over crowded areas such as check-outs to even measure the actual distance between people.
A data push or alert can be sent to remind staff and visitors of the physical distancing rules if distance is too low.
There is no need for additional staff at doors and entries.
This way, additional personnel is not required and staff as well as visitors are less exposed to the virus.
There is no need for any physical card or ticket systems.
This way, visitors are not exposed to potentially contagious objects which every other customer touches.
