Fever detection technology being tested in hospitals, restaurants and airports will be provided to business customers by IT solutions provider SCC.
The company has already installed a Thermal Temperature Detection system mounted on a tripod in the staff entrance at Bournemouth Airport.
The next deployment phase will see the introduction of a multi-camera system positioned at each entry point across the airport’s terminal building in departures and arrivals, enabling border staff to intercept any passengers showing signs of high temperature.
The solution uses devices ranging from handheld to fixed multi-camera systems to record body temperature and identify feverous people with real-time alerts.
The technology can be used in any environment with human traffic and is being adopted by Governments, transport authorities and retailers worldwide.
"Businesses are preparing to resume operations and will be required to demonstrate that proactive measures are in place to safeguard the health and wellbeing of employees and customers at all premises," stated James Rigby, SCC Chief Executive.
"Thermal Fever Detection will play a vital part in protecting people and enabling safe social distancing, helping to accelerate authorisation for businesses to reopen by Government and other the relevant authorities."
