Veesion AI camera monitoring software helps detect theft without human input. It analyses images coming through each camera, processes them and assigns probabilities to each action the subject makes.
Once the probability of theft exceeds a certain threshold, the solution can trigger an alert. The system can reduce theft by up to 60 per cent, especially when used with on-floor headset systems.
x-hoppers is a retail headset solution and, when paired with Veesion AI cameras, it provides an audio alert through the headset or through a PA system, making it easy for staff to intercept and detain suspected shoplifters.
Ian Rowan, country manager of Wildix UK, explained, “Many companies are talking about AI right now and they are referencing how this will change things in the future. With the AI that Veesion has developed, they are delivering solutions today that are helping in a business sector that has and continues to face many challenges.
“Having this AI integrated into x-hoppers is not only going to help retailers but also provide more value to our partners who trust Wildix to provide best-of-breed solutions for their customers.”
Baudouin Buguet, head of partnerships, Veesion, added, “The fight against shoplifting has entered a new era. Shoplifting is rising, and some stores have to close because of it. That’s why we have developed an AI that will automatically detect suspicious gestures of theft inside a store and will help many retailers to reduce their shrinkage.
"With our new partner Wildix, it will be even easier for staff members and security guards to act quickly and prevent theft from happening.”
The partnership agreement will last for five years and is applicable to both European and North American markets.
