PoS Insights, an organisation specialising in creating intelligent AI-powered solutions for all manner of businesses, is set to play a vital role in helping retailers manage the new Face Mask rules.

With face masks confirmed as compulsory in shops and supermarkets next week, PoS Insights has made use of its extensive AI and technological knowledge to develop a system that is able to capture, analyse and report on face mask compliance across a retailer's estate.

The system, which only requires the use of an establishment’s existing CCTV network, can highlight the number of people within a store as well as how many are wearing suitable face coverings. The solution, which has already been deployed across multiple retailers, transport providers and manufacturing sites, reports all of this information in real-time as well as providing automatic alerts to where breaches of the rules are spotted.

Speaking about the initiative, John Price, CEO of PoS Insights, said: “With our technology already successfully helping retailers and transport providers across the globe, developing the solution to support Face Mask compliance was an obvious evolution.

With the retail sector showing signs of recovery, it's more important than ever that to remain vigilant and ensure both store staff and customers remain safe.”

The London based firm says its software does not violate EU data privacy laws: "Our technology doesn't identify people and no CCTV feed or imagery is stored or transmitted, ensuring that personal information is protected".

This unique analytics system is able to be implemented quickly, easily and without the need for any changes to store infrastructure.
