Bosch says the  latest release of Intelligent Insights offers a software widget update that supports safe social distancing.

According to the company, Intelligent Insights is an AIoT video software solution that combines the connectivity of physical products with the application of artificial intelligence (AI), giving customers the ability to predict based on live and historical data. Intelligent Insights taps data from Bosch video cameras with built-in AI and pulls it into a single dashboard.

The new Area fill level traffic light widget offers an intuitive graphical interface that helps support social distancing regulations. The widget visualizes the current and maximum number of people allowed in a particular area at a specific time. It illustrates three different states – normal, serious, and critical – as green, yellow, or red, along with corresponding info text.

Users can opt to live stream the Area fill level traffic light widget on a monitor at an entrance to a supermarket or grocery store, for example, to inform customers whether they may enter the store. When a threshold is reached, the widget can activate and trigger a connected device that will inform visitors with a public announcement, simple alert, or message displayed on a monitor.

According to Bosch, Intelligent Insights uses only anonymous data from cameras, ensuring people’s privacy is protected at all times.
