Según Neil Saunders, director gerente de GlobalData Retail, más de 190,000 tiendas han cerrado de manera temporaria, lo que representa casi el 50% de la superficie minorista de los Estados Unidos. Al mismo tiempo, el minorista sueco de la moda H&M dejó entrever que, después de cerrar temporariamente 3,441 de sus 5,062 tiendas en todo el mundo, puede verse forzado a despedir a algunos empleados de modo permanente. Cómo sobrevivir durante la pandemia y adoptar medidas eficaces de prevención y control al reanudar el trabajo se han convertido en consideraciones importantes para los minoristas de todo el mundo.

En respuesta a los desafíos que enfrenta la industria minorista, Dahua Technology, un importante proveedor mundial de soluciones y servicios inteligentes de Internet de las Cosas centrados en video, lanzó una Retail Epidemic Safety Protection Solution (Solución de Protección de Seguridad Epidémica Minorista) profesional para ayudar a los minoristas a mantener la seguridad de las operaciones y mejorar la eficiencia comercial durante la pandemia, así como para ofrecer planes actualizados para aumentar el rendimiento de las inversiones después de la reanudación de los negocios.

La Retail Epidemic Safety Protection Solution de Dahua presenta monitoreo de la temperatura corporal y control de flujo de clientes, y combina así dos ventajas tecnológicas facilitadas por la IA para ofrecer doble valor a los minoristas al ayudar a reducir la propagación del virus y crear una experiencia de compras segura en las tiendas para los clientes.

La cámara de monitoreo de la temperatura corporal de Dahua permite un seguimiento altamente preciso de la temperatura del cuerpo, de ±0.3 ℃ (con cuerpo negro). Con algoritmo de IA incorporado, simultáneamente puede monitorear a un grupo de personas hasta una distancia de tres metros, permitiendo un acceso rápido y sin contacto. Si se la instala en las entradas de supermercados y centros comerciales, puede ayudar a los minoristas con una detección preliminar de temperaturas corporales anormales en empleados y clientes. Notifica a los usuarios para que tomen las medidas pertinentes antes de que las temperaturas cambien de manera significativa y, de este modo, permite aplicar el protocolo apropiado y que los profesionales médicos realicen una segunda verificación, si es necesario.

Para los minoristas que requieren un flujo limitado de clientes durante la pandemia, la cámara de contabilización de personas con IA de Dahua puede calcular de manera automática y exacta, en tiempo real, la cantidad de personas que entran en la tienda para evitar la congestión y ayudar a mitigar la propagación de la epidemia. Cuando la cantidad de compradores supera el valor establecido, el dispositivo dispara una alarma, muestra en la cartelería digital en la entrada de la tienda que la cantidad de personas en el interior está completa y recuerda a los clientes que esperen en la puerta. No se necesitan empleados adicionales para contar a los clientes de manera manual en la puerta, lo cual puede ayudar a los minoristas a reducir costos laborales y mejorar su eficiencia en la gestión.

According to Neil Saunders, Managing Director of GlobalData Retail, more than 190,000 stores have temporarily closed, accounting for nearly 50% of U.S. retail square footage. At the same time, Swedish fashion retailer H&M also implied that after temporarily closing 3,441 of its 5,062 stores globally, it may be forced to lay off some employees permanently. How to survive during the pandemic and take effective prevention and control measures after work resumption has become a major consideration for retailers across the globe.

In response to the challenges facing the retail industry, Dahua Technology, a world-leading video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider, has launched a professional Retail Epidemic Safety Protection Solution to help retailers maintain safe operations and improve business efficiency during the pandemic, as well as providing upgraded plans to increase ROI after business resumption.

Featuring thermal body temperature monitoring and customer flow control, the Dahua Retail Epidemic Safety Protection Solution combines two technological advantages enabled by AI to provide double value for retailers, assisting in slowing the spread of the virus while creating a safe in-store shopping experience for customers.

The Dahua thermal body temperature monitoring camera allows highly accurate body temperature monitoring of ±0.3℃ (with blackbody). With built-in AI algorithm, it can simultaneously monitor a group of people from up to 3-meter distance, enabling fast and non-contact access. When installed at the entrances of supermarkets and shopping malls, it can help retailers with preliminary screening of employees and customers with abnormal body temperature. It notifies users to take corresponding measures before the temperatures change significantly, thereby enabling the appropriate protocol and conducting a second verification by medical professionals if necessary.

For retailers who require limited customer flow during the pandemic, the Dahua AI-empowered people counting camera can automatically and accurately calculate the real-time number of people entering the store, avoiding congestion and helping to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. When the number of shoppers exceeds the set value, the device will alarm and will display on the digital signage at the entrance of the store that the number of people inside is full, reminding customers to wait at the door. No extra employees are needed to count customers manually at the door, which can help retailers reduce labor costs and improve their management efficiency.

Acura’s Successful Partnership With Team Penske To End After 2020

TORRANCE, California, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura Motorsports today announced it has come to a mutual agreement with Team Penske to end its successful partnership at the conclusion of the current IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

TORRANCE, California, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura Motorsports today announced it has come to a mutual agreement with Team Penske to end its successful partnership at the conclusion of the current IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

In addition to sweeping the major IMSA DPi championships in 2019, the Acura ARX-05 scored four race wins, 14 additional podium finishes and nine poles from 22 races since its debut in 2018 racing against Cadillac, Mazda and Nissan.

The championship-winning program originated in 2017 in preparation for Acura’s debut in the premier class of IMSA competition at the start of the 2018 season.  Acura Team Penske scored its first Daytona Prototype International (DPi) victory – at the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio – in 2018; and captured three more victories en route to sweeping the Manufacturer, Team and Drivers titles last year.

«On behalf of everyone at Acura and HPD, we’d like to thank Team Penske for their incredible efforts and impressive results racing the ARX-05,» said Ted Klaus, president of Honda Performance Development, the competition arm for Acura Motorsports.  «The success we’ve achieved together during the first two-plus years of the program makes us even more determined to score more victories, defend our championships, and conclude our partnership on the highest of notes.»

In addition to sweeping the major IMSA DPi championships in 2019, the Acura ARX-05 scored four race wins, 14 additional podium finishes and nine poles from 22 races since its debut in 2018 racing against Cadillac, Mazda and Nissan.

The Acura ARX-05 [Acura Racing eXperimental, generation 5] is the latest in a line of endurance prototypes to be fielded by the company dating back to 1991, just five years after the 1986 launch of the Acura brand.  Together with our partner ORECA, and based on the ORECA 07 chassis, HPD led the design and development of the ARX-05; featuring Acura-specific bodywork and powered by Acura’s production-based AR35TT twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, which shares over 400 mass production components with Acura’s road going V6 products.  

The Acura ARX-05 has added to a rich legacy of Acura sports car racing campaigns and championships, including the 1991-93 IMSA Camel Lights manufacturer and driver championships; 53 IMSA and American Le Mans Series class or overall race victories; and the 2009 American Le Mans Series manufacturer, driver and team championships in both the LMP1 and LMP2 classes. Racing and competition are cornerstones of Acura’s existence, and these on track achievements continue to epitomize Acura’s tagline of Precision Crafted Performance.

Acura Motorsports also campaigns the Acura NSX GT3 Evo in the IMSA GTD category with defending GTD champion Meyer Shank Racing and the Gradient Racing organizations.

Previously, HPD was affiliated with Team Penske in Championship Auto Racing Teams Competition (CART) in 2000 and 2001.  The partnership resulted in 10 race wins, two drivers’ championships (both for Gil de Ferran), and the 2001 CART Manufacturers’ Championship.  More recently, during the single-supplier era in NTT INDYCAR SERIES competition, Penske and HPD combined for two Indianapolis 500 victories (Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006 and Helio Castroneves in 2009), plus the drivers’ title for Hornish in 2006.

«Roger Penske has long been an important part of the Acura family as one of our great Acura dealers, and it has been a privilege to have him as part of the Acura Motorsports family as well,» said Jon Ikeda, Acura vice president and brand officer. «We’ve also had a very spirited competition with Team Penske during our previous ALMS Acura prototype programs.  We will always be thankful for the contributions made by Team Penske over the three-year course of our DPi program.»

«We have been extremely pleased by the customer response to our premiere outdoor power brands, as we improved the shopping experience with a simplified presentation,» said Ted Decker, executive vice president, Merchandising. «Similar to prior resets in our power tool business, outdoor power equipment is being reset and positioned by brand, and we will complete this rollout to approximately 1,300 U.S. stores by year’s end.»

The enhanced assortment will include The Home Depot’s top brands of innovative cordless outdoor power – Ryobi, Makita, DeWalt, and Milwaukee – as well as the most trusted brands of gas-powered products in the industry – Toro, Echo, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Honda, and Troy-Bilt.

As part of this merchandise reset, the company has made the decision to discontinue the Ego line of outdoor power equipment.

Earlier in the year, the company began refreshing its presentation of the outdoor power category to make it easier for customers to determine which equipment would best meet their needs. The branded-bay presentation features the latest in battery-powered technologies that have become increasingly popular among DIY consumers and professional landscapers.

Ryobi, DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita provide common battery platforms across their industry-leading power tool and outdoor power equipment products, which collectively make up the vast majority of batteries already owned by consumers. This provides customers an array of options and flexibility for their battery powered tools that can be interchanged on the same battery platform.

The company expects to complete the resets in all remaining stores through spring of 2021.
