It’s a busy working day. You are walking around a factory. Not a face to spot. Not a voice to talk to. The sound of a machine whirring is still somewhere far away. That’s when it hits you. It’s the new normal. It’s many months after that world-changing coronavirus outbreak that upended everything–from businesses to human interactions. Yet, in some workplaces like this factory, you can still walk in, swipe an entry, step ahead to the right department, and meet the right person through a social-distancing etiquette.

How is all this happening?

Such workplaces are equipped with AI-powered solutions like the DocketRun AI Edge Device, that integrates with CCTV cameras to provide health safety & hygiene monitoring to employees & customers. A solution that is being embraced with ease from India’s leading construction equipment manufacturer to a University campus and a retail chain.

Forrest Gump Begins
Fuelled by a beautiful concept and a powerful application model, Ajay Kabadi started DocketRun to provide AI-powered solutions to companies across various sectors. He discovered a Co-founder/CTO in Shweta Shettar; while he also brought in Chetan Kulkarni as Co-founder for Marketing and Product Design. Today, this corner-room leads a team of 8 to offer Artificial Intelligence solutions in Computer Vision space to generate data & insights and automate processes.

Under The Hood of AI–The Big Spark
Little did the team know that the real tipping point of the idea would strike them in a big way in 2020. The device is proving to be an automated enforcer of the new COVID norms  for industries, institutes, public places, public transport, and airports.

It is helping corporates protect health and create safety for customers and employees: reducing crowding and hotspots, monitoring and enforcing COVID compliance like social distancing, and ultimately restart business like the normal times. 

DocketRun Edge Device integrates with existing CCTV Cameras with no additional infrastructure needed, cuts down on major cloud investment, provides on-premise video processing, real-time analytics on AI Edge with multi-camera processing capabilities, enterprise-grade security and 100% anonymous insights. Tough as the times are, all this can be done without investing in expensive hardware.

“We take pride in our proprietary AI technology and AI Video Analytics Processing on AI Edge, cutting down major cloud investment. We give robust capabilities while also upholding the tenets of privacy and compliance. We are strong in on-premise video processing with real-time analytics with multi-camera processing–but with no facial recognition, no personal identification, and with enterprise-grade security, 100 percent anonymous insights and without having the customer worry about expensive additional hardware or integration of existing cameras.” – Ajay Kabadi, Founder, DocketRun.

DocketRun is buoyed by the impact of its solution. Companies who have implemented these solutions have reported better adherence to COVID norms and significant improvement in the work culture.

What’s at The Bend of The Road?
DocketRun sees a world even beyond the pandemic. It is working on various verticals and challenging areas like,

  • Aviation: Passengers Traffic Analytics with better management of staff in peak hours, security surveillance and validating SOPs. 
  • Hospitals: Touch-free infection control; measurement of contact with patients, surroundings, and surface areas; and guidance for cleaners with maps pointing out contaminated-areas. This can also measure skin temperature or track glove, gown, and mask utilization. 
  • Retail: Traffic analytics, validation of SOPs, augmenting customer experience & behavior, and getting a grip on mystery shopping analytics.

Great Sprint. Good Road.
Maruti Suzuki selected DocketRun in 2019 via the MAIL Program to transform the evolving automobile and mobility space. It has been recognised as the Startup of the Year 2019 from TiE Hubli.

It won the Elevate 2019, an idea to the POC grant of the Govt. of Karnataka. It is looking to expand its innovation efforts through new investment.

Headquartered in Deshpande Startups (India’s Largest Incubation Centre), Hubballi, Karnataka and backed by the mentors like Santosh Huralikoppi and CM Patil, DocketRun has customers across segments like E-commerce, Retail, Manufacturing Plants, Educational Institutes, and so on, with customers like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Hitachi, Fabwoods, KLE University, Deshpande Educational Trusts, Alie Global, and others.

What began as an idea to provide AI-driven video analytics solution to the consumers for detection of real-time demographics, behavior, and patterns of the visitor/ customer through pre-existing or new CCTV cameras–is by a strange turn of circumstances–turning to be a big booster-shot to help enterprises regain stronghold during and post-pandemic days.  

Interestingly, in 2021, AI augmentation is expected to create $2.9 trillion of business value and 6.2 billion hours of worker productivity globally, according to Gartner, Inc. And as per some estimates by 6Wresearch, the Indian video surveillance market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.6 percent during 2020-2026. The once analog-heavy and camera-dominated Indian market is now shifting towards IP-based surveillance cameras. 

The team at DocketRun looks well-positioned to take the right shots.
