In a world filled with wineries, it is difficult to distinguish one from another. The folks at Tennessee Homemade Wines bring innovation at every opportunity – wine clubs, merchandising, lodging, local recipes and more, creates a truly unique experience that attracts over 100 visitors per day on average.
The Problem
Inability to see foot traffic and maximize every sales opportunity
Tennessee Homemade Wines faced the dilemma of accurately counting unique foot traffic to optimize staffing, reduce wait times, and maximize sales amidst the constant influx and outflow of visitors through multiple barn-door entrances. The existing manual counting methods proved inadequate due to the winery’s structural layout, where entrances faced a courtyard and often had obstructed views or captured partial images of individuals.
The Solution
Computer vision for accurate entry counts, occupancy, and proximity of visitors.
Trakwell’s powerful software combined with the cutting-edge alwaysAI™ platform was trained for Tennessee Homemade Wine’s use-case and deployed across the designated cameras, enabling real-time object detection and occupancy capabilities. The platform’s sophisticated algorithms discerns visitors amidst complex backgrounds, overcoming challenges such as partial occlusion and overlapping crowds.
