Smart Retail Workshop Setup Guide

Welcome to this retail workshop offering from Intel, which explores the topic of video analytics. In this workshop, we will build a solution using the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit, and demonstrate concepts through lectures and hands on labs. By the end of the workshop, you should have a solid understanding of the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit, and have some working ideas of how to implement it in your video analytics applications.

How Do I Use the Lab Material

The links below will guide the workshop attendee through slides and labs in the visual retail workshop using the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.

Hardware Used in this Workshop

Intel offers scalable hardware solutions at different power, performance and price points. During these labs we will be using Dawson Canyon NUC and an Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) Device.

1. Intel® NUC
The Intel® NUC is a powerful, 4x4-inch mini PC with entertainment, gaming, and productivity features, including a customizable board that is ready to accept the memory, storage, and operating systems that you want.

Intel® NUC Key Features

  • Intel® Iris® Pro graphics 580
  • 2x M.2 22x42/80 (key M) slots for SATA3 or PCIe* X4 Gen3 NVMe or AHCI SSDs SDXC slot with UHS-I support
  • 19V, 120W AC-DC power adapter
  • Install your own memory, storage, and operating system (not included)
  • Full range of Intel® processors
  • The Intel® NUC supports Intel® vPro™ technology, and pre-installed Intel Unite® software. Business members simply need to install an Intel Unite® client on their own devices for easy and fast connections to meetings.

2. Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) Device
Intel launched the Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) to standardize the system architecture between displays and media players. OPS allows for more cost-effective design, deployment, and management of digital signage and other display solutions. It also supports advanced functionality and emerging use cases, including interactivity and anonymous audience analytics.

As OPS has quickly become a standard for creating integrated display solutions, Intel is providing the industry with OPS+, offering future-proofed capabilities targeted at higher resolution content and additional use cases.

Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) Key Features

  • 180 mm x 119 mm x 30 mm, fully enclosed.
  • Enhanced thermal design supports broader range of Intel® processors.
  • Enables new and customizable functionality through an additional connector interface that can be enhanced further with Intel® FPGA technology.
  • Optimized for interactive white boards (IWBs), commercial digital signage, kiosks, visual data devices, video walls, and more.
  • Ability to customize a protocol and simultaneously support advanced use cases including real-time analytics and video capture performed on the display itself.
  • Features a second high-speed connector and is backward compatible with previous OPS specifications.
  • OPS support Intel® vPro™ technology, and pre-installed Intel Unite® software. Business members simply just need to install an Intel Unite® client on their own devices for easy and fast connections to meetings.
