Counting
Entries, exits and customers per hour, by directional crossing of a virtual line.
Afluxion Retail Flow Intelligence
Afluxion's first solution is a spatial intelligence platform for supermarkets and cash-and-carry stores: footage from the cameras a store already has becomes flow indicators, a 3D digital twin and layout scenarios.
What goes in and what comes out
In goes recorded video, exported from the store DVR or NVR. Out comes a set of data aggregated by time window and department, with an audit trail: which camera, which model version, which calculation rule.
Dwell
Dwell by zone with mean, median and percentiles.
Circulation
Flow, density and speed in the store coordinate system.
Journeys
Frequent routes, transitions between departments and coverage.
Forecasts
Flow and congestion for a future window, with a versioned baseline.
Anomalies
Deviations from the expected pattern for the day and hour.
3D Digital Twin
The store in 3D with heat layers over the floor plan, aggregated trajectories, replay and department selection.
Layout simulation
Baseline vs alternative scenarios on the digital twin, always marked as simulation.
Who it is for
Supermarkets and cash-and-carry stores with 1,000 to 3,000 m² of sales area and 8 to 32 installed cameras. Leadership wants comparison across periods and stores; store managers want peaks, queues and low-traffic departments; operations and trade want to assess exposure and physical changes; data and BI teams want granularity and exports.
How we read the numbers
Each indicator states its window, analysed population and calculation rule. Four seals accompany everything the platform shows:
- Measured: computed directly from observed data.
- Inferred: the output of a model over the data, with stated confidence.
- Predicted: a model projection for a future window.
- Simulated: a layout scenario, with assumptions and model version.
When quality or coverage falls below the minimum, the indicator shows as partial, with the valid period. The platform never turns a hypothesis into causation: a simulation projects circulation under assumptions, it does not promise sales.
Product status
Afluxion Retail Flow Intelligence is under construction. Capabilities ship in phases, each with a measured quality criterion before moving on: counting, analytics, multi-camera, models, Digital Twin, simulation and, finally, operation with live cameras. The next milestone is a paid pilot with a design partner.
