How long trucks stay, and at which dock.
Occupancy of each dock by hour and by day. The problem usually isn’t the number of docks but how they’re scheduled: two are swamped, two sit empty.
A warehouse has no receipts, just docks, aisles and hours. Using your existing cameras, we measure how long trucks stay at the loading dock, where internal traffic gets congested and which zones you pay for sit unused. No new hardware. Facial recognition for the employees you register, after informing them; everyone else stays a silhouette.
In-house warehouses, distribution centers, retail warehousesA WMS tells you what stock there is and where it’s recorded. It doesn’t tell you that dock 2 is blocked for half the shift, that an aisle gets congested at 11:00, or that a whole row of racks hasn’t been visited in a week. That only shows up on camera.
Occupancy of each dock by hour and by day. The problem usually isn’t the number of docks but how they’re scheduled: two are swamped, two sit empty.
Movements along the main aisles, by hour. An aisle blocked by pallets at peak hour costs minutes on every order, every day.
An activity map of the whole floor. Zones with no movement for a week are either dead stock or stock in the wrong place. Both cost rent.
In a warehouse, the first question we get is whether the system can show how much each person works. The answer is yes, for the employees you register: hours, zones, presence time. Registration is done by you, after informing the person in advance and with the documented legal basis the law requires — we supply the tool and the documentation, and responsibility as the data controller stays with you. People who aren’t registered remain counted silhouettes.
The dashboard layout from a real installation. Switch warehouses and go through Dashboard, Alerts, Analytics and Reports. The figures are illustrative; in a real installation they come from the facility’s cameras.
In a warehouse, the useful decision is immediate: where to send the next truck, which aisle to clear. The app is built for that moment.
Not presentation charts: the document the shift supervisor receives, with dock occupancy, aisle blockages and idle zones. Figures by zone and by hour, and also per person for registered employees.

Our first real installations, in production, are in pharmacies in Moldova. We don’t have a warehouse client yet, and the metrics are different: not customers and receipts, but docks, aisles and square meters. The scenarios below show how to read the data, not what anyone has achieved.
Our first location measured daily, with a parallel manual count and an automatic report every evening. The measurement method is the same; in a warehouse, only what we count changes.
Docks and main aisles are usually already covered. For blind spots, we add one or two standard cameras.
zero investmentWe mark the docks, the main aisles, the picking area and the shipping area. Fixed stations are excluded from the count.
one dayImages are processed on the Vizor server; the report gets figures by dock, aisle and hour. No assessment of individuals.
data minimizationIf you want, dock occupancy is compared with the schedule in your system, which reveals the real delays.
optionalThe system tracks silhouettes from frame to frame and produces figures by zone, dock and hour. For registered employees, it links paths to their names and can produce per-person reports. For anyone else in the frame, no identity and no profile is built.
For warehouses, we start with a single facility, not three: every warehouse has its own layout, its own flow and its own docks. In week three, we check dock occupancy manually, during hours you choose. You can stop the pilot at any time, with no penalty.
We work on your existing cameras. Where coverage falls short, we fill the gap.
Installation takes one day and doesn’t stop receiving or shipping.
Connecting to your system is optional and is done after the traffic figures are validated.
We don’t ask for it, because we don’t do that. We measure zones, docks and hours.
The calculation takes the minutes saved at unloading and converts them into hours of waiting avoided. A mathematical estimate, not a promise: we measure your figures in the pilot.
Calculation: trucks × days × minutes saved ÷ 60 × cost per hour × facilities.
Check my facility →Worker-days at the gate vs. the billed timesheet, hard hats by zone, the first movement of the day.
Read →Employee attendance from your existing cameras, with no readers and no cards.
Read →What is allowed, where it is forbidden, what the sign must say and how long footage is kept, under Law 195/2024.
Read →Video-based counts you can re-check on the recording: volumes, vehicle mix, peak hour.
Read →Yes, for the employees you register in the system: hours, zones, presence time. Registration is done by you, after informing the person in advance. Without registration, Vizor produces figures by zone, dock and hour. An employee’s consent is not a valid legal basis, because the employee is a subordinate: the legal basis rests on legitimate interest or on the occupational safety obligation, is documented, and comes with a data protection impact assessment and notice to every employee.
Dock occupancy and dwell time, traffic and blockages in the main aisles, activity by zone and floor area with no movement. In other words, time and space: the two things that cost money in a warehouse.
Optionally, and only after the traffic figures are validated. Then we compare actual dock occupancy with the schedule in your system, and the real delays become visible.
Aisle traffic includes moving equipment too. For blockages, that matters more than the difference between a person and a forklift.
Usually the docks and main aisles are already covered. For blind spots, we add one or two standard cameras after looking at the floor plan.
No. It takes one day and doesn’t interrupt receiving or shipping. We mark the docks and zones together with you.
With the seven-day activity map: zones with zero movement, with the area of each in square meters. It’s a concrete argument before renting extra space.
With a three-month paid pilot in a single facility. Every warehouse has its own layout and flow, so we start with one and expand based on the results.
We don’t ask for an hour-long meeting. You pick a facility, we look at its floor plan and the existing cameras, and we reply within 24 hours, in writing.
