About Pix Thermo
After the publication of Joint Ordinance No. 20, of June 18, 2020, several recommendations were officialized for compliance by companies and industries. According to the text, companies must conduct a screening at the entrance of each establishment, in all shifts. For this, tools must be provided to measure body temperature using an infrared sensor or equivalent. Thus, entry can only be authorized after the measurement attests that the worker is not feverish or running a fever. All employees, including outsourced staff, must go through screening before starting their shifts. Pix Thermo has specific sensors to measure body temperature quickly and effectively. Safer than handheld or digital gun-style thermometers, Pix Thermo is touchless. It consists of an automated screening aid system based on body temperature measurement. Its structure is lightweight and adjustable, suitable for people of varying heights. Its main advantage is its low cost and safety, as it eliminates the need for manual operation.

Other recommendations
Also according to the text of the Joint Ordinance, other recommendations to be followed are: proper hand hygiene; surface sanitization; guidance to avoid frequent touching of surfaces, face, and respiratory etiquette; use of masks; waiving signatures on spreadsheets, forms, and controls; physical distancing and limiting individuals in common spaces. Thus, it is clear that monitoring and complying with these measures must be a joint responsibility. Both employees, collaborators, and managers must ensure that everyone is in accordance with the recommendations.
Pix Thermo Potential
In addition to temperature sensors, Pix Thermo has a camera and Computer Vision algorithms to identify the face of each user. This way, its potential is increased beyond facial recognition. Among them, automatic document identification and the use of PPE stand out. You can learn more about the Pix Thermo system, its technical specifications, and expansion possibilities HERE.
Document Reading
A secure lobby will be digital, without third-party operation. This transition will need to consist of efficient and intelligent information systems. These systems need to perform the identification and reading of badges, identity documents, facial recognition, and the medical history of each employee. With the help of Computer Vision, it is possible to create pathways to make this transition a reality. In this way, it is also possible to integrate the company's other information systems, creating an information database for each employee. This information is collected and synchronized, forming an individual and personal history that is accessible and secure. The work environment is transformed into a safer and more reliable space for employees. Knowing that entry is only permitted upon screening and compliance with health standards, employees can move about without worries.
Use of PPE
The use of PPE (personal protective equipment) is essential for various activities. Just like reading documents, inspection currently requires a human operator. To increase safety, a system is needed that not only identifies the use of PPE, but also its correct use. Due to the pandemic, the use of surgical masks is highly recommended by health authorities. Although not technically considered personal protective equipment, its use can be included within this category. Thus, masks, helmets, face shields, protective goggles, gloves, boots, and other equipment must be inspected. An intelligent system capable of identifying correct use eliminates human inspection, making the environment safe for everyone. With the help of Computer Vision, it is possible to expand the recognition capabilities of Pix Thermo. In this way, the system will be able to provide guidance on compliance and the correct use of each PPE, notifying in case of non-compliance or irregularity.
