Our sensors.
For a full-size football/soccer, rugby or hockey field, just two compact sensors are needed. The sensors are weather-proof and operate on a wireless connection requiring low voltage power.
Made from UV-resistant material, the sensors contain a camera, processor and modem which allows the system to track activity on your sports fields. Captured footage is turned into anonymised data at source ensuring compliance with data protection regulations, including GDPR.
The anonymised data is sent in real-time to your dashboard to view as charts, graphs and reports.
Artificial Intelligence.
By using artificial intelligence and machine learning, Intelligent Play provides you with an automated tracking system which requires no manual input, and therefore no room for human error.
Our technology is trained using thousands of images so that the sensors are able to identify human activity and machine maintenance activity on your sports fields and can then process that instantly into the data available in your dashboard.
The use of AI allows you to be guided by the data when it comes to managing and maintaining your sports fields, knowing that it is accurate, up-to-date and consistent throughout the lifespan of the facility.
Using data.
Accurate, real-time data allows you to make decisions on your field management and maintenance with certainty.
Usage graphs show you exactly when activity happens and heatmaps show you where on the field it takes place.
Based on an agreed maintenance schedule or triggered by increased participation (whichever occurs first), maintenance alerts are automatically sent indicating that machine maintenance is needed. Once machine maintenance has been carried out, an updated heatmap allows you to track the efficiency of the completed activity. A calendar and manual tasks are also available to help your team plan and carry out a complete maintenance programme.
Users can select any data points and time periods to easily generate a report which can then be exported to a pdf document at the click of a button – useful for presenting in meetings or sharing with other members of your organisation.
