During the pandemic, temperature scanning kiosks have become an ideal solution for risk aversion in a variety of public spaces and businesses. In this article, I would like to briefly introduce some of the benefits of the temperature scanning kiosk, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
1. Non-contact scanning
Contactless scanning is a major benefit of the kiosk, as its infrared technology allows people to have their temperature taken within a few feet. Temperature kiosks offer a more practical, truly touchless solution. Currently, there are many businesses that require individuals to take their temperature before arriving at the business or office, and temperature scanning kiosks are a perfect solution.
2. Efficient and accurate
The temperature scanning kiosk can measure the temperature of the target person within 1–2 seconds and report an accurate result. Compared with traditional temperature measurement methods, it can not only improve efficiency and save manpower, but also reduce the probability of errors.
3. Contactless Hand Sanitizer Dispensing
Many temperature scanning kiosks are equipped with touchless hand sanitizer dispensers and disinfecting wipes. This encourages people entering and leaving to keep their hands clean. This feature is so convenient that visitors can simply walk up to the temperature booth and reach under the dispensing nozzle. Motion detection sensors will then trigger the kiosk to dispense hand sanitizer, with no contact throughout.
4. Facial recognition
Temperature scanning kiosks can recognize employees’ faces even when they’re wearing masks. The software can also confirm whether those people are wearing masks, which is helpful for keeping others safe. It uses specialized software to process images to identify employees and match them to their health and personnel records.
5. Temperature reports and alarms
Another benefit of temperature scanning kiosks is temperature reporting and alerts. Triggered when the kiosk detects a fever or other abnormal reading, and can be programmed to alert appropriate facility managers to assist the individual. This is most prevalent in hospitals, as it allows screening of patients and staff so they can enter without endangering the health of other potentially high-risk individuals in the building.
