Reading documents, measuring temperature, and checking the use of PPE are some of these safety measures. The resumption of activities is already happening throughout Brazil and around the world. Despite this, how can we ensure a safe return to work for all employees? This is a real concern, as well as a priority, for large companies and industrial parks with a high flow of workers entering and leaving. Temperature measurement and other recommendations must be followed by companies so that the resumption is more efficient and safer.

What are the main measures to be adopted?
According to leading experts and health organizations, wearing masks, using hand sanitizer, and regularly washing hands with soap and water should still be constant practices. In addition, measuring individuals' temperatures is an efficient way to identify if any employees have a fever, a situation in which the employee is recommended to seek medical help. Another important measure is the secure reading and identification of documents, badges, and credentials in large industrial parks and companies for flow control at entrances. In this sense, checking and identifying the use of PPE, including the correct use of masks, is also one of the measures to ensure greater safety in the work environment.
How to ensure safety?
A fully secure entrance or reception (without handling devices or verification by third parties) will be done digitally, integrating various information systems such as badges, facial recognition, and the medical history of each employee. Although this approach is still in the realm of possibilities, with the help of Computer Vision, it is possible to develop and create extremely positive scenarios in this monitoring spectrum.
What kinds of problems do these solutions solve?
Several situations can be solved: the main one is the guarantee of a completely touchless system. Work at receptions and entrance/exit doors will be less risky for the people responsible for these jobs. The system will not require active action from these employees, except in the case of unauthorized entry of any collaborator or visitor. Another problem solved is the integration of employee information with greater accuracy and reliability; This way, employees feel safer and more comfortable when moving through closed environments or large crowds. The prior authorization for entry and movement of healthy individuals who are up to date with the recommendations of health agencies is the main factor. Currently, Pix Force has been successfully implementing Pix Thermo, the main solution in terms of security measures for lobbies and entrances of large companies and industrial complexes. Pix Thermo is a fast and efficient system for measuring body temperature and can be checked in more detail here.
What are the main advantages of this solution?
Use of appropriate and specific sensors for body temperature measurement; Individualized temperature measurement; Measurement cycle speed of 5s; 100% autonomous and 100% safe method, with no contact with the equipment; Screen with instructions; Light alerts and email dispatch; Low-cost structure and system; Service as a business model and Exclusive ITM System.
How does the system work? And what is the necessary structure?
The operation is similar to a digital hand thermometer, but without any contact or the need for handling by a human operator. The individual simply needs to approach the sensor, and the screen will guide them on the correct positioning of their face. Within 2 to 5 seconds, the measurement is taken. A message appears on the screen informing the person's temperature and whether entry is authorized or not. The sensor has an accuracy of +-0.3°C for forehead temperature. However, this is not necessarily the best place to measure body temperature. For this reason, it is important that the Pix Thermo is placed in a location protected from the weather and that people reach the equipment without great prior effort and exposure to the sun. Sensor calibration is required at the place of use at the time of installation. After that, only in case of periodic maintenance to evaluate the results. In addition, the ITM, the individualized temperature measurement system, is integrated to improve accuracy in processing the obtained data. The solution only requires a power outlet, included in a plug-and-play manner. This way, the customer takes the equipment out of the box and can start using it immediately.
