Motion analytics is the use of AI and computer vision to analyze movement captured through cameras, sensors, or other tracking systems. It identifies patterns in how people, objects, or machines move and can measure factors such as speed, direction, position, and activity. AI models process video or sensor data over time, detect changes, and convert movement into useful insights for monitoring, prediction, or decision-making.
For example, a manufacturing facility can use motion analytics to track robotic equipment and identify unusual movement that may indicate a maintenance issue. It is useful for improving safety, efficiency, and operational visibility. Applications include manufacturing, sports performance, security, retail analytics, healthcare, and smart environments
