Overview

Urban Grind Indoor Skate Park is not just a training ground for budding talent—it’s a vibrant hub where professional skaters hone their skills and where high-profile photo shoots for top skate magazines come to life. To support its dynamic environment and ensure the safety of its exhilarating activities, Urban Grind partnered with us to deploy our state-of-the-art XVision AI solution using its existing CCTV network.

The Challenge

With non-stop action and creative events taking place daily, Urban Grind faced the challenge of maintaining optimal safety standards across its unique concrete surfaces. Frequent skate sessions by professional athletes and the high demand for flawless, magazine-worthy visuals meant that even minor surface imperfections could pose safety risks or mar the park’s aesthetic appeal. Manual inspections were impractical given the facility’s vibrant, round-the-clock activities, so an automated, real-time monitoring solution was essential.

The Exciting Solution

Leveraging the park’s existing CCTV network, we seamlessly integrated the XVision AI technology to elevate safety and visual appeal:

• Smart Integration with Existing CCTV:
  Urban Grind’s comprehensive CCTV system, already an integral part of its operations, now doubles as a high-resolution data source for our AI-powered monitoring. This innovative integration allows continuous monitoring without disrupting the park’s everyday rhythm.

• Edge Processing for Real-Time Insights:
  Camera feeds are directly processed by XVision Edge units, which capture and analyze snapshots every 60 seconds. This real-time analysis ensures that any defects on the concrete surfaces—be it wear, cracks, or paint degradation—are promptly detected.

• Cutting-Edge Deep Learning Analysis:
  Our advanced deep learning algorithms, tailored to recognize the unique demands of an indoor skate park, differentiate between minor cosmetic issues and significant structural concerns. The system assigns a criticality score to each anomaly using a risk matrix, ensuring that safety is never compromised.

• Automated Alerts for Proactive Maintenance:
  When a defect is identified, the system instantly sends an email alert to the maintenance team. Each alert includes a detailed snapshot of the defect, location data, and a criticality rating. This prompt notification enables rapid, targeted intervention—keeping the park safe and visually impeccable.

Results & Impact

• Enhanced Safety and Performance:
  With real-time monitoring, Urban Grind now boasts a proactive safety protocol that minimizes risk. The AI’s timely alerts have allowed for quick repairs, ensuring that professional skaters can train without interruption and that the park remains a safe venue for high-adrenaline performances.

• Operational Excellence:
  The integration of XVision AI into the existing CCTV network eliminated the need for disruptive manual inspections. Maintenance teams are now empowered with data-driven insights, resulting in streamlined operations and cost-effective upkeep.

• Aesthetic & Brand Value:
  The meticulous condition of the concrete surfaces not only enhances rider safety but also contributes to the park’s image. During high-profile photo shoots for renowned skate magazines, the flawless surfaces provide the perfect backdrop—bolstering Urban Grind’s reputation as a premier destination for skate culture.

Urban Grind Indoor Skate Park’s partnership with XVision AI is a testament to how innovative technology can elevate both safety and style in a high-energy environment. By integrating our advanced deep learning solution with their existing CCTV infrastructure, Urban Grind has set a new standard in facility management—ensuring that every kickflip, grind, and photo shoot is backed by the confidence of a safe and impeccably maintained venue.
