The Current Issue
Despite rising cases of COVID-19 in the United States, many states are allowing businesses to reopen with some safety restrictions. However, many consumers are concerned about how retailers can safely reopen while retailers are struggling with implementing social distancing practices. Using 2M thermal solutions, retailers can strategize a reopening plan that contributes to a safer environment and a better shopping experience for both customers and staff.
2M Thermal Product Solutions
Instant Thermal Detector
High body temperature may indicate the presence of a fever which is a common symptom of COVID-19. Businesses screen for high temperatures as a way to prevent an infected person from entering and possibly spreading the virus. Many business are already using hand-held thermal devices to check the temperature of each visitor. However, this method of temperature scanning is a slow process because each person is scanned individually so crowds can begin to form at entrances. Not only that, the employee taking temperature can be put at risk of infection since they’re in close proximity to customers. 2M offers a better thermal solution. This device can be used by each customer before entry to screen for high temperatures. It measures temperature from the wrist so that people won’t have to touch anything and potentially spread the infection. It also reads temperature instantly to allow for quick entry.
Summary of Key Features
- Easy installation
- Compact size
- Instant temperature measurement in 1 second
- Contactless to prevent contamination
- Measures temperature within distance of 1-20cm
- Continuously measures temperature
- Voice alerts users of “normal temperature”
Standing Body Temperature Screener
This temperature reader is instant to streamline entry like the previously mentioned device. However, this device has a more sleek design to fit in any environment and aesthetic. It is contactless and measures temperature from the wrist to prevent contamination. The device also sends out an alarm when abnormal temperatures are detected. One special feature that this device can do is count people. This way, stores can keep track of how many people are coming in to ensure they don’t go over maximum capacity.
Summary of Key Features
- Contactless
- Highly accurate, measurement deviation of ≤ 3˚C
- Adjustable pole for different heights
- Measures temperature within distance of 1-4cm
- Sleek design
- People counting
- Alerts of abnormal temperature
Mask Detection and Temperature Measurement Device
One safety practice that many states have begun to require is the use of face masks in public areas. But with so many people entering, it can be difficult to make sure everyone is wearing a mask. One thermal solution is using a device that detects mask usage and measures temperature. Screening for high body temperatures is helpful, but health officials warn against relying on this to prevent infection because some carriers do not show any symptoms of the virus. This device would be useful in screening for high temperatures but still ensure that everyone is wearing a mask as an extra barrier against spreading the virus. It is also equipped with face recognition so that retailers can use this to control access to restricted areas like stockrooms.
Summary of Key Features
- Detects high body temperatures
- Detects mask usage
- Contactless
- High accuracy, accurate up to 0.1˚C
- Measurement deviation of ≤ 3˚C
- Face recognition access control integration
- Fastest face recognition time of 0.2 seconds
- Allows for quick entry
Mask Detection & Wrist Temperature Measurement Device
Like the previous device, this one detects mask usage and measures temperature, but from the wrist instead of the forehead. This method would be suited better for places with a lot of overhead lights because lights can sometimes make it difficult for the device to read the forehead. It is also capable of face recognition access control to maintain entry to sensitive areas.
Summary of Key Features
- Contactless, measures wrist temperature
- Equipped with face recognition
- Measures temperature within distance of 1-3cm
- Highly accurate, measurement deviation of ≤ 3˚C
- Face recognition distance within 0.2-2.9m
- Detects mask usage
