Why Thermal Imaging and Temperature Monitoring Technology is the way forward for businesses during Covid-19 and beyond
The future of health and safety in the workplace is right here, right now.
It is Thermal Imaging and Temperature Monitoring Technology.
As the world navigates a new normal amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, the implementation of Thermal Imaging and Temperature Monitoring Technologies may just be the way forward for many businesses to assist in fever detection and management; a symptom associated with COVID-19.
With the possibility of ongoing restrictions across Australia and temperature checks becoming the norm, businesses with high foot traffic can benefit immensely by installing thermal imaging, avoiding the need for staff or customers to manually be checked; a time-consuming task involving direct contact and delivering far less accurate results.
Thermal Imaging Cameras work by converting infrared energy (heat) emitted from an individual into an electronic signal. The signal is then converted into a series of infrared and visible thermal video images recording a person’s hot zones and temperature. Thermal Body temperature Imaging is specifically useful for the temperature detection of multiple people at a time, with extreme accuracy of + / – 0.3 degrees Celsius.
It can analyse, visualise, and display the skin temperature of individuals from as far as a 3-metre distance instantly and is most suitable for airports, on public transport, in commercial buildings and large apartments or any areas which have significantly high foot traffic or individuals entering and exiting at one time.
Temperature monitoring is an additional solution which accurately measures the body temperature of individuals. Temperature monitoring cameras incorporate the use of wireless technology in devices or systems that convey data through infrared (IR) radiation to determine the body temperature of individuals. These devices can also incorporate facial recognition technology to assist with easy identification and information for contact tracing. In the event an individual may have a temperature, employers can easily contact trace those who may have been in direct contact and whom may also be at risk of illness.
Thermal Imaging and Temperature monitoring cameras can be implemented in many different environments, including hospitals, nursing homes, offices, hotels, airports, logistics companies, factories and large retail centres, safeguarding not only employees but the public as well.

Any elevated body temperature should be confirmed with a secondary evaluation method which is TGA approved. |
