Video Analytics AI Agents
Deploy highly perceptive, accurate, and interactive video analytics AI agents with mulit-camera tracking throughout factories, warehouses, retail stores, airports, and traffic intersections to search and understand volumes of live or archived video data. Your operations teams can now make better decisions faster from richer insights through natural language queries and interactions.
Automated Visual Inspection
According to the American Society of Quality, “Many organizations will have true quality-related costs as …high as 40% of total operations.” See how customizing NVIDIA vision AI models can help you pinpoint visual defects in industrial visual inspection applications to maximize both production quality and yield.
Intelligent Transportation System
AI, digital twins, and synthetic data generation deliver powerful new ways to create more sustainable cities, maintain infrastructure, and improve public areas such as roadways for residents and communities. Learn how some of the world’s busiest transit corridors use video analytics AI agents and applications with multi-camera tracking to move people more efficiently.
Industrial Automation
Advanced warehouses and factories use fleets of hundreds of autonomous mobile robots, robotic arm manipulators, and humanoids working alongside people. Mega, an NVIDIA Omniverse™ Blueprint, gives you an advanced reference architecture that combines digital twin technology with AI-powered robots and video analytics AI agents to manage robot fleets at scale.
Intelligent Retail Stores
Retailers are transitioning to AI-powered intelligent stores to reduce shrinkage, eliminate stockout, and gain visibility into in-store customer behavior to optimize merchandising. Combining data from cameras and sensors gives you valuable analytics that can improve decision-making, operations, and efficiency. And the same infrastructure can be used for a faster customer checkout experience, including fully automated checkout systems.
Robot Safety
Enhance industrial operations with robot safety that uses both on-robot (“inside-out”) and sensor infrastructure (“outside-in”) to extend robot perception. Leveraging the NVIDIA IGX platform and AI safety agents, robots interpret their surroundings and react appropriately—slowing, stopping, or rerouting to avoid hazards and boost productivity while maintaining safety compliance standards.
