Last month we introduced the guide to optimizing thermal imaging use, discussing the importance of location.
The following is part two of the three part series compiled from several of our manuals and guides to ensure our Thermal Imaging Counter with TCP/IP Connectivity provides the most accurate data.
Part 2: Validation
During initial installation and periodically after, you will want to verify the accuracy of your count data. The most reliable method to validate the accuracy of a system is to compare hand-counted customer traffic to data collected by the system over the same period of time. A second effective validation process is to calculate the variation rate of in-traffic counts to out-traffic counts using the following equation:
[( out-in ) ÷ out ] ÷ 2 = Variation Percent
The lower the percent, the more accurate your system is. A variation percent of less than 10% is preferable and a higher percentage indicates a necessary change to your system.
The third and final section of the series will premier next month, in the mean time, be sure to subscribe to our RSS blog feed to stay connected with all of our posts in between! Have a question or comment on validating your Thermal Imaging Counter? Tell us about it below!
