A Proactive Approach to Managing Safe Environments

Many large and innovative institutions are looking beyond the immediate challenges of the pandemic to find enduring solutions for greater safety. Through automated temperature-detection technologies, institutions can manage access and entries without unnecessary delays or direct exposure to potential contagions.

Challenge

Detect elevated temperatures without compromising operations

For many businesses and institutions, the coronavirus pandemic is not just a current concern, but a foreshadowing of persistent health and safety issues.

Detecting elevated body temperatures at points of access for employees, customers, and guests is a responsible way to support a safer environment. But manual methods using a handheld thermal scanner can be too slow for high-volume environments, creating bottlenecks at entryways. What’s worse is that manual detection violates most physical-distancing protocols, potentially exposing those doing the scanning to infection.

Without an effective means of detection, institutions are not only exposed to greater risk, but can undermine the necessary confidence that encourages employees and customers to move freely in their environments.

Solution

ECAM’s automated Virtual Temperature Screening

A turnkey solution, Virtual Temperature Screening automates the detection of elevated body temperatures at high-volume entry points, facilitating both safety and speed.

By integrating a combination of accurate thermographic IP cameras, real-time software alerts, and plug-and-play hardware, Virtual Temperature Screening enables you to identify elevated temperatures faster and with less risk to your personnel than direct or near-direct contact with handheld thermal scanners.

In environments where individuals seeking entry are known (such as employees and residents), the speed of Virtual Temperature Screening allows people to pass at their usual pace without slowing down. If an elevated temperature is detected, the responsible manager is alerted with the appropriate identification information.

In situations open to the general public (such as retail, transportation facilities and amusement parks), our screening technology can be implemented with automated turnstiles that allow access to persons within acceptable temperature ranges, and prevent access to persons who exceed them.

Virtual Temperature Screening not only promotes greater workplace safety, but also encourages confidence among employees, customers and visitors. Implementing automated temperature detection distinguishes your organization as one that embraces a proactive approach to a growing concern.
