Design an Intelligent Retail Analytics System that uses smart cameras and on-device AI to monitor retail operations in real-time. The system should analyze shopper movement, inventory levels, and checkout queues without requiring constant cloud processing.The expected system must automatically identify customer traffic patterns, measure dwell time in different store sections, detect out-of-stock products, monitor shelf compliance, and predict queue congestion before it effects customer experience.AI inference should happen locally on the edge devices to enable low-latency decisions while preserving customer privacy and minimizing network dependency.The system should convert video streams into actionable business insights that help retailers improve operational efficiency, optimize staffing, inc
