Rhombus launched Rhombus Insights, an AI-powered solution that empowers businesses to measure virtually anything their cameras can see and automate responses based on those specific observations.
“Companies have been limited to predefined analytics that couldn’t really address what they need to know about what’s going on at their store, their campus, their factory, or other physical space at any given moment,” says Rickey Cox, VP, product at Rhombus. “Rhombus Insights changes that completely. If your Rhombus cameras can see it, you can now measure it, track it, and automate responses to it. This level of complete customization unlocks entirely new possibilities for how businesses continually optimize and secure their physical spaces.”
Key takeaways:
· Rhombus Insights addresses the inability to answer questions about their physical operations without ongoing and time-intensive human intervention. Whether tracking parking availability, observing equipment placement, verifying safety protocols, or measuring inventory levels, businesses can now create tailored measurements and automated responses designed for their specific operational needs.
· Rhombus Insights works through an intuitive setup process where users simply create prompts describing what they want to measure, specify the measurement type (numerical, percentage, or true/false), and set monitoring frequency. The solution then continuously analyzes camera footage to provide real-time data visualization, exportable reports, and API access for integration with existing business systems.
· Going beyond passive monitoring, Rhombus Insights enables organizations to configure instant alerts and automated actions whenever specific conditions are met. When triggers are detected, the system can send notifications via email, text, or push notification, and execute custom actions such as playing audio announcements or activating third-party devices (such as lights or alarms) through relay triggers.
· The flexibility of Rhombus Insights supports diverse use cases across industries. In manufacturing environments, companies can track forklift counts on warehouse floors and automate safety alerts when equipment exceeds safe density levels. Retail businesses can observe queue lengths and automatically notify staff when customer wait times become problematic. Educational institutions can verify safety protocol compliance, such as confirming lifeguard presence at pool facilities.
