Videonetics has recently introduced artificial intelligence and deep learning powered ‘No Seat Belt Detection’ technology, which aims at detecting the drivers with no seat belt worn in real-time while driving four-wheeler, and consequently violating traffic laws and putting their lives at risk. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally about 1.3 million people and 20 to 50 million are injured die in road crashes every year. The risk of dying in road accidents is more than three times higher in low income countries than in high income ones. Wearing seat-belt reduces the risk of drivers and the front seat occupants by 45-50%, and the risk of death and serious injuries of rear seat occupants by 25%. At Videonetics, we are constantly innovating state-of-the-art technologies for evolving markets. This is indeed a proud moment to launch Industry’s First AI & DL based No Seat Belt Detection technology globally. The new addition to ITMS suite will further inculcate traffic discipline amongst citizens as well as reduce road crashes.  – Dr. Tinku Acharya Fellow IEEE, Founder & MD of Videonetics Powered by patented AI & DL framework, No Seat Belt Detection technology is trained with the real-time video data of over five years, thereby ensuring highest level of precision in identifying the most dangerous driving risks even in tough environmental conditions including at night. The indigenous technology is well-competent to analyze gesture movement of the driver who is driving any type of four-wheelers including private car, taxi, jeep, lorry, truck and so on. After capturing the license plate of the violating vehicle with ANPR, the system generates alerts with the evidence video. Additional ly, events are stored for later analysis. No Seat Belt Detection technology can seamlessly assimilate with integrated e-challan/ e-ticket management software to generate challans/ e-tickets with details such as violation image, time stamp, date and vehicle number etc. The enormous potential of the solution empowers Videonetics intelligent traffic management system (ITMS) suite to enhance real-time traffic monitoring, identify and process traffic offences, eventually modernizing the traffic management solution and establishing traffic regulation and enforcement across the city. With this latest addition, Videonetics augments ITMS portfolio encompassing automated number plate recognition (ANPR) system, red light violation detection (RLVD) system, detection of use of cellphone while driving, no helmet detection, triple riding detection, free left turn block detection, over speed detection, traffic congestion detection, wrong parking detection, no parking detection, smart dashboard, data visualization to name a few. ITMS is successfully deployed at many cities such as Kolkata, Ranchi, Indore, Bhopal, Bangalore and many more. It has achieved benchmark in replacing tedious manual processes to track, regulate and analyze vehicle movement on roads, and to enforce traffic rules for safety of citizens towards success of national smart city mission.  

Coca-Cola’s history began in 1886 and since then it has emerged as one of the most valued brands with a net worth of $74 billion. The company owns and markets more than 500 beverage brands across 200+ countries. Over the last 23 years, ever since its re-entry in 1993 in India, the company has gone on to establish an unmatched portfolio of beverages. The Company along with its bottling partners, through a strong network of over 2.6 million retail outlets, touches the lives of millions of consumers. Its brands are some of the most preferred and most sold beverages in the country. Coca-Cola established its manufacturing units in Kudus and Pirangut, Maharashtra, India and was looking for biometric solutions to secure their premises. They required individual servers at both locations. Their prime requirement was to restrict unauthorized user entry into secured area. Moreover, they required user punch i.e., events for both the locations separately. However, shortage of power supply ports at both the locations was a major problem. Providing separate power for door lock, biometric device and exit switch was a concern. Coca-Cola was in search of a solution where the basic requirements of user events as well as power issue for devices are solved easily. In order to overcome the challenge Matrix offered individual software platforms that act as a server for both locations – Kudus and Pirangut. In order to resolve the challenge of shortage of power supply, Matrix offered its premium range of biometric device which itself offers power to door lock and exit switch. Thus, Matrix biometric solution helped in solving both the challenges faced by Coca-Cola. COSEC biometric devices have the capability to supply power to door locks and exit switch/ reader from the device itself. The products Results Restrict unauthorized users to secure premises. Reduction in cumbersome HR tasks. Accurate maintenance of user data.  

Iris ID, a leading global provider of iris recognition technology, has recently announced that its iCAM 7S series has been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under license number R-41110639. BIS is the national standards-setting body for India. The recently mandatory BIS certification attests to the safety, quality and reliability of electronic, medical, construction and many other commercial and consumer products. The iCAM 7S series and other company products are extensively used by India’s Unique Identification Authority as part of the country’s national identity program. Registrations, known as Aadhaar numbers, are used for Indians to apply for a passport, obtain a driver’s license, receive social services and many other daily activities. More than 1 billion citizens are enrolled in the program. Mohammed Murad, Vice President Global Sales and Business Development, Iris ID said that the BIS certification is similar to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards found throughout the world and the CE mark used in Europe. “We’re pleased to have received BIS certification as India is a very important market for Iris ID,” he said, “Our products are used not only by the government agencies, but also by many commercial organizations.” Once a product has passed BIS certification, manufacturers may use the agency’s mark on products used in India. Iris ID authentication systems are currently used worldwide for access control, time and attendance, national ID programs, border crossings, voter registration and many other applications. Iris ID Systems Inc. has been active in iris recognition research, development and production since 1997. The company’s IrisAccess® is the world’s leading deployed iris recognition platform used in thousands of locations daily authenticating the identities of millions of people. More public and private organizations look to IrisAccess for iris based authentication than to all other iris recognition products combined.
