Real-Time Crowd Intelligence Continues to Transform Physical Spaces Worldwide
Another successful WaitTime and Intel collaboration is in the books.
At Edge Solution Summit 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan, WaitTime was proud to be showcased alongside Intel, demonstrating how anonymous, AI-powered operational intelligence is helping organizations better understand and optimize some of the world’s busiest environments.
Representing WaitTime on stage was APAC Business Development Manager Pieno Lee, who highlighted how organizations across sports and entertainment venues, airports, convention centers, transportation hubs, retail environments, and smart infrastructure projects are leveraging real-time crowd intelligence to drive measurable operational outcomes.
A Decade of Innovation in Crowd Intelligence
For more than ten years, WaitTime has been helping define the category of AI-powered crowd management and operational intelligence. Long before artificial intelligence became a mainstream business conversation, WaitTime was pioneering technologies that transform live crowd activity into actionable insights.
The strong interest and engagement throughout Edge Solution Summit reinforced a clear market trend: organizations are increasingly looking beyond traditional security applications and seeking ways to unlock operational value from their existing camera deployments.
AI at the Edge Without GPUs
Powered by Intel Xeon processors and optimized using Intel OpenVINO and oneAPI, WaitTime delivers real-time crowd analytics entirely at the edge without requiring GPUs.
This architecture provides significant advantages for customers and channel partners alike, including:
Lower infrastructure costs
Faster deployment timelines
Scalable AI performance
Simplified operations
Stronger solution economics across the channel ecosystem
By leveraging existing camera deployments and Intel-based infrastructure, organizations can rapidly implement operational intelligence without the complexity traditionally associated with AI deployments.
Turning Existing Infrastructure into Operational Intelligence
WaitTime helps organizations transform cameras from passive security devices into powerful sources of real-time operational intelligence.
Applications include:
Monitoring venue ingress and egress
Reducing guest wait times
Optimizing staffing and resource allocation
Improving wayfinding and guest experiences
Managing occupancy and crowd flow
Supporting safety and operational awareness
Creating new sponsorship and revenue opportunities through live operational data
These capabilities enable organizations to make faster, data-driven decisions that improve efficiency, enhance experiences, and generate measurable business outcomes.
A Proven Opportunity for the Channel
One of the most exciting aspects of the WaitTime and Intel partnership is the value it creates across the channel ecosystem.
The opportunity is a proven, plug-and-play solution for:
Camera manufacturers
Distributors
System integrators
Infrastructure providers
Edge compute partners
OEMs and technology vendors
By adding a recurring intelligence layer to existing camera deployments, partners can create new software-driven revenue streams while delivering meaningful operational value to customers.
The formula is simple:
Same cameras. Same and net-new customers. New intelligence. New recurring revenue.
Building the Future of Physical Spaces
As organizations continue to invest in digital transformation initiatives, the future of physical spaces will be defined by the ability to convert real-world activity into actionable intelligence at the edge.
WaitTime is proud to be helping lead that transformation alongside Intel and a growing global ecosystem of partners dedicated to delivering practical AI solutions that solve real business challenges.
The future of operational intelligence is here, and it’s being built at the edge.
