MeridianAI builds edge hardware and computer vision systems that turn the floor of a nightlife venue into structured, real-time data. Capacity, dwell, queue, and flow — measured in milliseconds, never stored as footage.
Capacity is guessed at the door. Bar staff are scheduled to a number nobody measured. Marketing spend hits a venue with no idea whether the floor was full or empty when the campaign ran. The data already exists — it just hasn't been captured.
Door clickers, manual headcounts, and end-of-night POS reports tell you what already happened. By then, the decision window is closed.
Promoters and agencies optimise content with no feedback loop into actual venue occupancy. Campaigns get judged on impressions, not floor lift.
Existing camera systems were built for evidence, not insight. Cloud video pipelines are slow, expensive, and create privacy liability nobody wants.
A small purpose-built edge unit mounts in-venue, processes vision locally, and streams structured telemetry to a single dashboard your operators, promoters, and agency partners all read from.
Live headcount per zone, per door, per room. Updates faster than your bar staff can pour.
How long people stay, where they cluster, which rooms drain when. Floor-shape data nobody has had before.
Live queue length and movement at each entry point — feed it to door staff, ticket apps, or a queue-skip integration.
All inference runs on-device. The cloud receives counts and vectors — never identifiable footage. PII never leaves the room.
Three steps. No NVRs to rip out. No tape on the lens.
One Meridian edge unit per zone, powered over ethernet. Installed in an evening — no integration with your existing CCTV stack required.
Custom vision models run locally on the node. Frames are transformed into anonymous structured data — counts, vectors, dwell — before anything ever leaves the venue.
One API powers your operations dashboard, your queue-skip app, your marketing partners' reporting, and your weekly investor PDF. Single source of truth.
A platform shaped by operators, not retrofitted from retail analytics.
Live floor state across every zone. Push thresholds to floor staff via Slack, Discord, or a tablet at the door.
Tie content posts and promoter pushes to actual occupancy lift in the hours after they ran. Finally answer "did it work?"
Native pipe into queue management apps and ticketing systems. Live queue data drives dynamic pricing and door flow.
Six weeks of floor data is enough to forecast next Saturday. Rosters that match what the night actually does.
Weekly PDFs that read like a brief, not a spreadsheet. Built for operators who want signal, not dashboards.
Every signal Meridian captures is available via REST and webhooks. Build on top of it, or let us pipe it where you need.
Building infrastructure for venues means earning trust before measuring anything.
Vision processing runs on the node. The cloud sees counts and vectors — never people. No facial recognition, no re-identification, no exceptions.
If the data arrives after the moment passed, it's a liability, not a tool. Every signal is engineered to fire under 50ms end-to-end.
Your floor data is yours. Export it, pipe it, walk away with it. Open formats, open API, no lock-in clauses.
We'd rather ship one signal a venue actually acts on than ten dashboards that go unread. Calibrated outputs over noisy ones.
Spots are limited and matched personally. If your venue runs Friday and Saturday nights at scale, we want to talk.
