Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, Intelligent Play brings you in-depth, accurate data about the status of your sports field
How it works
Facility owners responsible for synthetic turf fields frequently express the same issues and concerns: “How do we get the most out of our field? How can we keep the surface in the best condition throughout its lifespan? How do we know the impact that usage has on the performance of our surface?”
Intelligent Play was developed to help provide the data you need to answer these questions.
But is it just for artificial fields? Not at all. Intelligent Play can be used to monitor natural grass sports fields too as the usage and participation data it gives can be used by facility management for scheduling, managing busy and quiet periods, future planning, to support business cases for investment, and much more.
Technical Features
Small discreet sensor
Compact sensor design ensures the units can be discreetly installed without affecting the aesthetic of your field
Low voltage power dependancy
Technically-advanced, efficient sensors require minimal power to function optimally
Wireless 4G connection
High quality reliable streaming which removes the requirement for a wi-fi access point
Weather proof
Sensors are designed to function with no interference in variable environmental conditions
Long range
Only two small sensors are required to cover a full-size* sports field
Alerts
Automated alerts can be issued when maintenance is due, when movement is detected out of hours or when too many players are on the field
Since 2017, Intelligent Play has been monitoring sports fields around the world for professional, community and education sports facilities.
This data is transformed into useful, in-depth, accurate insights for our users.
How it works
Installing the sensors
Sensors (usually two) are mounted to the facility’s floodlights or another fixed height (such as a stadium press box). The sensors are connected via a 4G network to automatically capture field activity. This activity is converted into anonymous data through advanced computer vision and deep learning algorithms.
Monitoring a field
The sensors monitor all on-field activity and record usage hours and machine maintenance hours. The recorded activity is also subject to advanced algorithms to calculate player hours and equivalent user hours (EUH).
Live, 24/7 monitoring allows for accurate collection of data without the risk of human error.
Receiving data
Using an online dashboard, your field data is easily accessible at any time. Usage and participation data, planned and executed maintenance sessions and detailed heatmaps can be viewed within the dashboard.
Multiple facilities or fields can be managed from one dashboard and user access can be granted for each member of your team as required.
Using data
Based on an agreed maintenance schedule or triggered by increased participation (whichever occurs first), maintenance alerts are automatically sent indicating which maintenance service is needed. Once maintenance has been carried out, an updated heatmap allows you to track the efficiency of the completed activity. A calendar and tracker are also available to help your team plan and carry out maintenance based on the true usage of your field.
Usage and maintenance data for user-selected time periods can easily be generated into a report which can be exported to a pdf document at the click of a button – useful for presenting in meetings, including in facility reporting and sharing with other members of your organisation.
