Counting
Entries, exits and customers per hour, counted when a person crosses a line marked at the entrance, in each direction.
Afluxion Retail Flow Intelligence
Afluxion's first solution is a platform for supermarkets and cash-and-carry stores that shows how customers move through the store: footage from the cameras a store already has becomes flow indicators, a 3D Digital Twin and layout scenarios.
In development · the pilot is the next milestone
What goes in and what comes out
In goes recorded video, exported from the store DVR or NVR. Out come totals by period and department, each with its origin recorded: which camera, which model version and which calculation rule.
Indicators
Dwell
How long people stay in each department: mean, median and the range most of them fall in.
Circulation
Flow, density and speed, measured in metres on the store floor plan.
Journeys
Frequent routes, transitions between departments and coverage.
Forecasts
Flow and crowding forecast for the coming hours or days, compared with a recorded baseline.
Anomalies
Deviations from the expected pattern for the day and hour.
Digital Twin and simulation
3D Digital Twin
The store in 3D with heat layers over the floor plan, aggregated trajectories, replay and department selection.
Layout simulation
Today's store compared with a layout change 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. Each team uses it differently:
- Leadership: compare periods and stores.
- Store managers: peaks, queues and low-traffic departments.
- Operations and trade marketing: assess exposure and physical changes.
- Data team: detail and exports.
How we read the numbers
Every number says which period it came from, who was counted and how it was calculated. 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 in development. Capabilities ship in phases, each with a measured quality criterion before moving on: counting, flow indicators, journeys across cameras, models, Digital Twin, simulation and, finally, operation with live cameras. The next step is a paid pilot in a partner store.
