SparkCognition, a global leader in B2B artificial intelligence (AI) software solutions, announced that Boerne Independent School District (ISD) deployed the company’s computer vision solution to assist with situational awareness for scenarios that could compromise campus safety. The initial focus included understanding building access, leveraging SparkCognition’s Visual AI Advisor to identify and alert school officials to unauthorized door access or use at Kendall Elementary School. Located in Boerne, TX, Boerne ISD is a PK-12 school district with over 10,000 students across 12 campuses.
“At Boerne ISD, we remain committed to the safety and well-being of our students, educators, and staff,” said Rick Goodrich, Chief of Safety and Security at Boerne ISD. “By using SparkCognition’s Visual AI Advisor, we were able to complement and extend our safety measures, providing proactive alerts to our staff and ensuring the building access security.”
