Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter relate to a data storage and retrieval system that employs a data storage structure in which user data is spatially and temporally stored and fetched in real-time, allowing users to utilize and visualize the data. The data storage structure provides for a structured query and retrieval mechanism and is optimized for low-latency read operations covering a temporal and spatial range, while also allowing for varying play rates and spatial zoom levels. The data storage structure incorporates various data stores for query retrieval based on user request criteria.

Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter relate to determining a center of activity for a plurality of entities over a period of time in a given area, such as a warehouse environment, to indicate where the entities are spending the majority of their time. The center of activity may be represented as an average of the center of activity of the locations of the various entities. A visual representation of the center of activity may be provided. An alert system may be established to provide a warning if the center of activity moves outside of a predetermined tolerance range. Recommendations may be generated based on the center of activity and frequency data relating to areas of high use or access.
