Safety concerns (e.g., shoplifting, etc.)

Sequence Number 5 Industry Retail Banner Safety concerns (e.g., shoplifting, etc.) How 5G enabled

Safe environment for both customers and staff created via AI (MV) applications powered by 5G; real-time alerts via proactive detection of unsafe conditions in retail premises 

Data Flows
Title Devices Icon Devices Description
  • Sensors and cameras (fixed, autonomous mobile robots etc.) to monitor customer behaviour including health incidents 
Title Connectivity Icon Connectivity Description
  • Camera images
  • Audio data -- detect messages and early warnings of incidents (safety and health)
Title Edge Compute Icon Edge Compute Description
  • AI (MV) at Edge to detect audio or visual issues for real-time intervention, e.g., automatically alert in-store staff or possibly law enforcement when necessary
Title Cloud Compute & Storage Icon Cloud Compute & Storage Description
  • All historical and real-time data stored in Enterprise owned storage
Title Applications & Services Icon Applications & Services Description
  • AI can be applied to predict potential crowd congestions
  • Track suspicious behaviors & movement
Title Inform Decision Makers Icon Inform Decision Makers Description
  • Errors and safety violations reported immediately to operations centre of the site
  • In-store staff alerted via phones, tablets, or even via alerts overlayed over smart glasses about safety issues as soon as they arise; and are given instructions for reaction and damage mitigation
Title Support Decision Making Icon Support Decision Making Description
  • End of process
Application Logic
Description
  • Cameras deployed on-site to gather video and image data
  • Audio sensors deployed to capture and identify abnormal audio activity
  • Ensure AED (Automated External Defibrillator) equipment is available at the store premise
Description
  • 5G’s large bandwidth enables the transfer of large data sets for processing in real-time
  • Real-time high-resolution images and video data gathered will assist AI in its processing accuracy. MV will consume these image and video data as inputs to analyse movement patterns, congestion formation etc.
  • Having access to historic data to predict future levels and take action before they occur
Description
  • AI models will be able to detect suspicious activities and trigger alerts for preventive action
  • AI model will be improved over time to recognise more behavioral patterns
  • Shared data across multiple stores with facial recognition could detect and alert suspicious characters and alert the right authorities
Expected benefits Key value created
