EdgeVision

Intelligent AI surveillance at the edge — turning every camera
into a real-time operations engine. RetailTrack for store floors & QSR,
RiderTrack for delivery hubs. High-performance Intel edge compute.

EDGEVISION.PRO RETAIL · QSR
& DELIVERY HUBS

Two Products · One Platform

One edge appliance.
Two operational lenses.

EdgeVision is the on-prem Vision + GenAI runtime. RetailTrack and RiderTrack are the two products built on top of it — same edge platform, same privacy guarantees, same control plane.

PRODUCT 01 · RETAILTRACK

Intelligence for
Store Floors & QSR.

High-performance Intel edge compute on the site LAN. Hybrid Vision + GenAI on-prem. Every camera becomes a customer-and-staff intelligence sensor — across apparel retail floors, supermarkets, and quick-service restaurants — without storing a single face.

RETAILTRACK · CHAPTER 01

The Visibility Gap

Modern apparel retail captures thousands of hours of CCTV every week. Almost none of it becomes a decision.

The Challenge

The In-Store
Visibility Gap.

Stores capture hours of CCTV every shift. But almost none of it becomes a decision.

01

Staff effort & productivity is opaque

Floor managers can't see who is attending, grouping, or on the phone. Wall locations sit unmanned. Conversion is attributed by gut feel.

02

Customer journey is invisible after entry

VM decisions are made without knowing which entry, gondola, wall, or centre table actually pulls dwell. Footfall ≠ engagement.

03

High-value customers walk in unannounced

Store managers learn about a tier-gold visitor only at the bill counter. Loyalty runs blind to the first 60 seconds.

04

Floor hygiene fails surface late

Footwear scattered, displays disturbed, > 4 staff in back store — visible-but-unmonitored issues that drive complaints and shrink.

RETAILTRACK · CHAPTER 02

Two Lenses,
One Network

The same feeds answer two questions at once: what is the customer experiencing? And how is the team performing?

Two Lenses

Customer & Staff Analytics.

CUSTOMER ANALYTICS

What customers do, where they linger, who they are.

  • Heat-mapping by entry, fixture and category
  • Walk-in flow between apparel and footwear
  • Self-service vs assisted journey detection
  • VIP / loyalty member recognition at entry
  • POS ↔ camera time-stitch for billing intelligence

STAFF ANALYTICS

Who is attending, who is missing, who is grouping.

  • Peak vs non-peak presence by zone
  • Grouping > 1 min, mobile use, back-store time
  • Style/size run timing — wall to back-store
  • Per-staff customer attention & conversion proxy
  • Brand-level heat-map for back-store activity

Same hardware. Same cameras. Two outcomes. Intel edge compute on the store LAN — no extra installation.

In-Store Detection

Tracking Customers
& Staff Simultaneously.

Every person on the floor is detected, classified, and tracked — without ever storing a face.

1

Heat Mapping

By entry, fixture, category. Walk-in flow between categories becomes a measurable cross-category insight.

2

Customer Tracking

VIP & loyalty recognition at entrance. Auto-enroll dwell > 15 min. No biometric data leaves the store.

3

Self-Service vs Assisted

Identifies customers who buy without staff help — critical for VM, range planning and staffing.

4

POS ↔ Camera Stitch

Correlate bills with in-store trail. Every transaction becomes a journey: dwell, attended-by, time-to-bill.

RETAILTRACK · QSR EDITION

From Counter to
Drive-Thru.

Quick-service restaurants run on three numbers: speed, accuracy, and food safety. Every camera in the dining room, kitchen, and drive-thru already sees them. RetailTrack turns them into a live signal.

QSR Capabilities

Speed, Accuracy,
Safety — Live.

Three operational levers every QSR brand tracks weekly via spreadsheets and mystery-shopper audits. RetailTrack tracks them per-shift, per-station, per-car — automatically.

1

Speed of Service

Drive-thru wait time per lane, counter queue length, mobile-pickup dwell, time-to-first-bag — every daypart benchmarked against itself, not a corporate average.

2

Kitchen Choke-Points

Idle stations, expo bottleneck, fry-station coverage, grill hand-off delays — flagged the moment they exceed threshold, not after the rush has already cost a guest.

3

Food Safety & Hygiene

Gloves, hairnets, handwash frequency, holding-time at the heat lamp, spillage detection — scene-aware checks with low false-positive, ready for the next FSSAI / health audit.

Drive-Thru Operations

Every Lane.
Every Car. Every Second.

The drive-thru is the single biggest revenue line at most QSR sites — and the hardest to measure without a manager standing in the lot. RetailTrack instruments it end-to-end on the cameras you already have.

  • Live per-lane queue length & wait time
  • Order-board → handoff-window timing per car
  • Pull-forward, blocked-lane & "driver not served" alerts
  • Lane-utilisation balance during peak hours
  • Daypart vs forecast adherence

PRODUCT 02 · RIDERTRACK

Intelligence for
the Last Mile.

An AI-powered surveillance and video-summarisation product for quick-commerce dark stores — running on high-performance Intel edge compute that sees what the dispatcher cannot.

RiderTrack · The Challenge

The Dark-Store
Visibility Gap.

Quick-commerce dark stores face inefficiencies as delivery agents exploit the system during difficult conditions — rain, traffic, low-demand windows. The dispatcher sees the symptom; nobody sees the cause.

A cluster of idle delivery riders standing together at a hub at night
01

Idle behaviour during difficult conditions

During rain or heavy traffic, some agents deliberately remain idle in waiting areas — falsely signalling a shortage of available riders to the dispatch system.

02

Unverified agent presence

The roster says the rider is on shift. Without privacy-preserving recognition, the hub has no objective record of who is actually on the apron and active.

03

Artificial surge & cost spikes

False scarcity triggers artificial surge pricing and unnecessary cost spikes. Customer charges go up, customer satisfaction goes down — both manufactured by the gap.

04

Operational opacity

Floor managers and HQ have no transparent insight into idle patterns, exploitation, or accountability — until an audit, weeks later. Workforce decisions stay gut-driven.

RiderTrack · The Solution

RiderTrack Platform.

An AI-powered surveillance and video-summarisation product. RiderTrack onboards agents via privacy-preserving recognition, tracks presence and movement, monitors real-time activity, and flags idle behaviour — providing transparent insights to operations teams and enabling timely intervention before the surge model fires.

RiderTrack · Capability 01

Rider Analytics,
Elaborated.

1

Cluster Detection

Detects clusters of ≥ 3 riders idle > N minutes at a hub zone. Pings dispatch before the surge model fires.

2

Presence Verification

Privacy-preserving embedding match against the on-shift roster. Confirms the apron rider is the rider on the system.

3

Demand & Weather Correlation

Stitches local weather, event calendar, app order velocity and hub footage into one curve — surface spikes before they hit ETAs.

4

Loss & Bag Audit

Bag in / bag out, helmet-down, unauthorised vehicle — every event is a clip and a timestamp, indexed for review.

Surge Guardrail Flow

From Apron Cluster
to Surge Decision.

A cluster of riders is detected. Within three seconds the surge model has a guardrail signal, the dispatcher has the clip, and the riders have a nudge — long before the customer sees an inflated price.

RiderTrack · Results

Outcomes Operations
Teams See.

RiderTrack measurably shifts the operating curve of a quick-commerce hub — across cost, productivity, customer experience, and transparency.

Reduced artificial surge

Reduction in artificially triggered surge pricing and unnecessary cost spikes — the dispatch model sees true on-apron capacity.

Higher agent productivity

Improved delivery-agent productivity and resource utilisation. Idle behaviour gets flagged and addressed in the same shift, not weeks later.

Better customer experience

Enhanced customer satisfaction through better availability and reduced delivery charges — fewer manufactured "no riders nearby" moments.

Operational transparency

Increased operational transparency and data-driven workforce management. Floor managers and HQ see the same objective view, on the same console.

RiderTrack · Capability 02

Rider Safety,
Coaching-First.

SAFETY DETECTION

  • Helmet-down detection at the apron line
  • Bag-strap unclipped before departure
  • High-speed approach to gate · near-miss flag
  • Wrong-way exit / unauthorised vehicle entry
  • Wet-weather PPE coverage during rain windows

COACHING WORKFLOW

  • Daily safety digest per hub manager
  • Weekly per-rider clip library for coaching
  • Trend lines per shift, per zone, per weather window
  • Post-incident clip lookup in < 30 seconds
  • Anonymised aggregates for HQ — no personal IDs

RiderTrack is a coaching tool, not a surveillance tool. No raw faces or biometrics leave the hub. Clips are retained on a FIFO policy you configure.

The Paradigm Shift

Why GenAI-powered analytics finally makes the in-store camera a primary business sensor.

A dark luxury store with magenta data streams flowing from a CCTV camera

The Paradigm Shift

Why GenAI Analytics
Changes Everything.

Dimension Traditional CV EdgeVision GenAI
Detection Bounding boxes & pixel thresholds Contextual scene understanding
Accuracy High false-positive in varying light Adaptive to lighting & occlusions
Self-Service Cannot determine purchase intent Full customer journey with billing
Hygiene Static detection, frequent false alerts Scene-aware: items vs. decor
Adaptability Manual re-calibration per store Self-adapting, zero retraining
Insights Counts and timestamps only Rich descriptions: why, not what

"Traditional analytics tells you someone entered the store. EdgeVision tells you they browsed for 4 minutes, showed interest in the brand wall, and left without purchasing — and which staff member was nearest."

Hybrid Intelligence

Real-Time Vision
+ On-Device GenAI.

Hybrid Intelligence

Vision AI runs continuously at 15+ FPS. GenAI (VLM) is triggered only when the rule engine demands context — about 90% compute reduction.

Zero Cloud Dependency

Everything happens on Intel edge compute inside the site. No frames, no biometrics, no PII transmitted off-premise. Full data sovereignty.

Configurable Rules

Node-RED-style rule engine. Tune thresholds (e.g. "> 4 staff in back store") without code changes or retraining.
