It’s time to start over.

First let us wish you a happy new year, we hope you have enjoyed holidays. This year and this decade starts great for us, from 12 to 14 January we’ll be at the NRF2020 in New York City alongside Cisco Meraki fellows colleagues.

The NRF Retail Week is the most important retail event in the world and the expectations for this year’s Big Show edition are really high, many will be the themes, projects and the news to come. The retail market is in excellent health and on the horizon there are large investments and innovations that will certainly change the retail universe forever, so we’re very exciting to join the event.

Talking about innovation, thinking inevitably goes to the IT business where the world’s largest retail groups are heavily investing money and human resources. Tech and digital are becoming day by day more pervasive in all areas of business and customer relations, adding new stages to the customer journey, and consequently stimulating the creativity of developers.

The NRF 2020 will give us a very big chance to show V-App Smart Integration Platform for the retail world, developed with Cisco Meraki. Visitors of our booth will see how Meraki Wi-Fi devices and MV Sense Camera can work together to collect customers’ behavior data in given areas, turning numbers in accurate, helpful and cool information.

Heatmap view people walk flows, dwell time and concentration peaks in a given area by time slot;

People Count tracks and count people access classifying them by gender and/or age;

Emotion measure the prevailing sentiment of the customers into your business range.

A real-time overview of the customers’ behavior, allows predictive analyzes to be carried out and, consequently, statistically forecasting future events, providing marketers with new tools to develop increasingly effective promotion strategies. This and much more we’ll talk about at the overseas exhibition on mid January 2020, so stay with us for more updates.

La crescente domanda di sicurezza in luoghi pubblici e proprietà private ha dato un forte impulso al mercato della videosorveglianza, che attualmente sta vivendo una piccola rivoluzione con l’ingresso dirompente dell’intelligenza artificiale, grazie alla quale normali telecamere si sono trasformate, da dispositivi passivi adibiti al monitoraggio e alla sorveglianza a formidabili sonde prive di una qualsivoglia forma di invasività.

Cisco Meraki, tra i primi big player internazionali ad avere puntato sulla cosiddetta ‘computer vision’ ha segnato recentemente il suo ingresso nel mercato delle smart camera con una ‘disruptive technology’ basata dispositivi cloud managed equipaggiati con un potente processore, lo stesso di cui sono dotati gli smartphone di ultima generazione, una memoria fisica e un’architettura innovativa che minimizza l’infrastruttura fisica e requisiti software. Con un’attenzione sempre maggiore all’estetica, il design, e perfino al packaging, proseguendo nel solco tracciato da Apple, la famiglia delle smart camera Mv Sense di Cisco Meraki segna il passaggio definitivo delle telecamere, da dispositivi adibiti all’acquisizione di immagini, a sonde di ultima generazione fonti di metadati, tout court.

In qualità di partner tecnologico Cisco Meraki nonché come proprietari della piattaforma VAPP Application Portal, dopo un periodo di sviluppo, il 17 luglio del 2019 abbiamo rilasciato MV People Count, la prima di una nuova famiglia di App appositamente progettate per le smart camera della serie MV Sense di Cisco Meraki.

MV People Count aggiunge alla dashboard VAPP la potenza della ‘Computer Vision Technology’ fornendo nuovi set di dati ricavati dalle telecamere. Store manager, marketer e addetti alla sicurezza potranno contare su uno strumento efficace per monitorare in tempo reale o in differita i flussi di utenti all’interno di uffici, negozi o interi centri commerciali, nel pieno rispetto della privacy dell’utenza in quanto i dati ricavati sono anonimi. Si potrà finalmente verificare l’efficacia di una campagna pubblicitaria off-line confrontando i dati delle vendite con le presenze reali all’interno dell’attività commerciale oppure aumentare il livello di sicurezza grazie alle caratteristiche peculiari delle smart camera di ultima generazione.

Mv People Count e le altre APP di backup, restore, versioning ed analytics, si trovano nel portale VAPP e nel Meraki Marketplace ufficiale. Registrati qui per provarle gratuitamente per 15 giorni.

Grazie!

So, there we were.

Cisco Live! in San Diego is over. For the lucky ones to be there or for those who followed the event in streaming, it was an unique occasion to touch the state of the art of technology. Important people have intervened in illuminating speech and big companies have spoken in enthusiastic terms of their experience with Cisco. This edition of Cisco Live! was particularly exciting for us because there was talk of our work. On June 10th George Bentinck, the Cisco Meraki Product Manager, in a focus on the new smart cameras used as sensors in business environment, introducing hybrid systems, illustrated some slides related to VAPP, the portal developed by us with Cisco and dedicated to Meraki users. Being one of the two partners in that important context fills us with satisfaction and pushes us to make every day better.

So thanks to Cisco for the opportunity, and well done coders and network specialist of Bizmate, we’re proud of you all.
Thank you.
