French Beauty & Cosmetic Leader Yves Rocher Expands Store Network with IDIS Surveillance and AI Retail Box

IDIS one camera solution delivers streamlined monitoring, improved store coverage, and intelligent video analysis IDIS, the leading manufacturer of trusted South Korean-made video tech, has partnered with leading French cosmetic and beauty brand Yves Rocher to help them expand their growing network of stores in shopping malls, tourist hotspots, and prime retail locations. Key to Yves Rocher’s profitability are advanced remote monitoring and business intelligence analytics to give its central management team greater understanding and control over branch operations. The company needed a robust video solution to reduce shrinkage, improve customer service, drive sales, and improve staff performance. This was challenging, though, because a wide array of existing analog and IP cameras was in place, as well as an inflexible VMS. Cameras were obtrusive and did not provide comprehensive coverage in HD quality. And the system had no analytics functionality, so a labor-intensive people counting solution was being used which was driving up operating costs. Yves Rocher turned to trusted and proven IDIS video tech solutions to solve all these challenges. IDIS, together with Secom Türkiye, replaced the existing mix-and-match system with a powerful, NDAA-compliant 5MP IR fisheye camera (DCY6516WRX-A), managed and controlled via cost-free IDIS Center in the stores, and IDIS Solution Suite (ISS) Expert VMS at Yves Rocher’s head office. Footage is recorded locally on a 4-channel IDIS DR-2504P NDAA-compliant NVR. The single-camera solution simplifies and streamlines system operation for retail staff and ensures HD coverage of the whole store, without blind spots. Each store is also equipped with a compact IDIS AI Box for Retail (DV1304), to deliver a wider range of powerful analytics functions, including people counting, queue monitoring, heat mapping and occupancy monitoring. People counting data from all the stores is transmitted to the ISS server, then collected in Yves Rocher’s SQL server for sharing with the NEBİM retail ERP solution. This enables Yves Rocher to analyze daily, weekly, or monthly sales turnover and visitor numbers, comparing sales campaign periods against regular periods, allowing an accurate evaluation of marketing. The IDIS is solution is delivering streamlined monitoring, improved store coverage, and advanced video analytics. As Can Egemen Yalçın, IT Manager for Yves Rocher pointed out, “Yves Rocher’s global success is built on outstanding customer service, focused management, and operational efficiency. Our new, advanced video and analytics solution from IDIS now gives us an exciting foundation for further innovation.” IDIS is a global security company that designs, develops, manufactures, and delivers surveillance solutions for a wide range of commercial and public sector markets. As the leading video surveillance manufacturer in South Korea, headquartered just outside of Seoul and operating across 50 countries and 100+ strategic partners, IDIS is a world-leading total solution provider with more than two million recorders installed worldwide and over 17 million cameras utilizing IDIS technology.

Honeywell Aids in The Alternative Fuel Transition Through Safety Technologies

Latest infrared-based flame detector helps make industrial facilities producing hydrogen safer Honeywell recently announced a new infrared-based (IR) technology that quickly and reliably detects hydrogen flames – before they grow into major fires. Honeywell’s FS24X Plus Flame Detector helps protect workers and facilities from risks associated with hydrogen production and use. Hydrogen is highly flammable, colorless, odorless and 14 times lighter than air.1 There is no known odorant that can be added to hydrogen that is light enough to ‘travel’ along with it, which makes a leak imperceptible to the human senses. “Clean hydrogen has a much lower carbon impact than traditional energy sources and has great potential when it comes to powering our future,” said Sarah Martin, President of Honeywell Sensing & Safety Technologies, “By innovating in technologies that help safeguard hydrogen facilities and workers, we are driving further use of hydrogen as both a fuel source and a method of energy storage.” Hydrogen fuel cells, which generate electricity, heat and water, can be used to provide power to homes and other buildings as well as electric vehicles. The Energy Transitions Commission projects hydrogen will be the source of 13% of final energy demand in 2050 and reach a market value of $2.5 trillion or more. This is incredibly promising for the future of clean energy as hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic resources and has the potential for near-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. When hydrogen is burned in a fuel cell, the primary byproduct is water vapor. Flame and gas detectors – particularly those like the FS24X Plus that can detect flames even in rainy, foggy or smoky conditions – are important components of a comprehensive safety program for industrial facilities using hydrogen. Today, hydrogen is critical to our infrastructure, from oil refineries and power plants to chemical production facilities making ammonia and fertilizer. As a byproduct, hydrogen can also be found in data centers, battery production plants and wastewater facilities. Honeywell (www.honeywell.com) delivers industry-specific solutions that include aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings and industry; and performance materials globally. Our technologies help aircraft, buildings, manufacturing plants, supply chains, and workers become more connected to make our world smarter, safer, and more sustainable. gov, Safety, Codes and Standards [Accessed, September 18, 2023] RMI, Clean Energy 101: The Colors of Hydrogen [Accessed September 18, 2023]
