About Fever Screening Technology to Help Businesses Get up and Running
Hatboro, PA (May 2020) – In the aftermath of the COVID-19 epidemic, many companies have been crippled. Local businesses have struggled to survive, but the necessitated stay-at-home orders are soon to be lifted. However, the disease still poses a threat, and many people have significant concerns about how to move forward.
Employees returning to work, students returning to school, and customers entering stores will be at risk of getting sick. For things to get back to a semblance of normal, concerns need to be mitigated. Non-invasively screening temperatures is a way people can be kept safer and be reassured.
ELEDLIGHTS, a Manncorp company, is now selling a Rapid No-Contact Temperature Screening System. Using facial recognition software, these cameras can measure a person’s body temperature, clearing them for entry into a school, nursing home, warehouse, or other establishment. By adding this extra layer of security, people who are possibly infected can be stopped from entering and possibly spreading the virus.
Manncorp has a 50-year legacy of involvement in the tech industry, which is exactly why they can be trusted with a sensitive, high-tech topic like thermal-monitoring cameras. From developing hand tools early on, to automatic machines that can accomplish high speed assembly of electronic components, they have gained expertise to help in the wake of this crisis.
Company president, Henry Mann says, “It’s gratifying to offer a product that enables establishments to get back up and running while still maintaining safety.” Through proper measure being taken, Mann trusts that when businesses reopen, they will be able to both function and take care of everyone who enters their buildings.
With the tele-thermographic measuring system, every person who enters a building can quickly and easily be scanned without having to slow their pace, pose for the camera, or remove their face masks or sunglasses. When compared with alternative methods, where check points may be set up to physically take each person’s temperature, the camera system saves significant amounts of time and helps avoid unnecessary contact.
In corporate settings, especially in companies with 300+ employees, thermal monitoring cameras can eliminate the need for personnel being physically present to check IDs. Once a person has been scanned by the camera the first time, they will be matched with their identification card. This means that any following times they are scanned, they will be recognized by the system.
Warehouses and stores can also establish a checkpoint for truck drivers or delivery drivers, who are at a high risk of contraction. Having an external area for scanning can provide a layer of protection for the people unloading the truck and the customers of the store.
In schools, hospitals, and nursing homes, where some of our most vulnerable members of society are taken care of, the protection afforded by the thermal reading cameras will be most vital. As we attempt to return to normal, these necessary places will need a way of non-invasively checking the health of people entering the premises. The cameras are a way to achieve this goal without scaring young children or inconveniencing patients.
This long distance, no-contact system reduces manpower requirements, allows personnel to maintain social distancing, and keeps foot traffic moving at a steady pace. 10 faces can be measured simultaneously from up to 9.8 feet away, and the temperature reading is accurate within half a degree. Through precautionary measures like these being taken, we can minimize the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, keeping people safe and businesses running.
These high-tech cameras put control back in the hands of business owners, medical professionals, and everyday people who want to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The Manncorp network has a primary goal of keeping the local community safe. By ensuring the safety of neighbors, things can gradually become less daunting and more secure.
