Case Study: Walmart optimizes retail operations with NetGuru’s intelligent video analytics solution

Walmart analyzes 2.5 petabytes of video data hourly with NetGuru

The customer, a major retailer, faced the challenge of leveraging the immense volume of unstructured video data collected from in-store CCTV to optimize operations and adhere to new COVID-19 restrictions. NetGuru was engaged to create a solution that could overcome the difficulties of extracting meaningful insights from this complex data while ensuring customer anonymity.

NetGuru developed an intelligent video analytics solution powered by machine learning and convolutional neural networks to process video feeds in real time. This system automated the monitoring of customer numbers, queue lengths, and cashier service, enabling automatic actions like requesting additional cashiers during high traffic. The cost-effective solution, which utilized existing hardware and a dedicated edge computing system, significantly reduced manual monitoring and data processing time for the retailer.
