Pyramid Computer introduces kiosk to measure body temperature

Pyramid Computer GmbH has announced the U.K. availability of its polytouch 32 curve access control kiosk which automatically measures human body temperature as part of authorizing personnel and visitor access to buildings and public areas, according to a press release.

By streamlining the flow of people through the kiosk, quick but accurate contactless checks can determine if an individual is running a fever and therefore potentially has the SARS-CoV-2, also known as coronavirus, or possibly another virus or bacterial disease such as influenza. With the gradual easing of public lockdown measures and a return to work, the kiosk helps businesses, institutions, public transportation and venue operators detect and reduce the potential spread of infection among employees, guests and visitors.

Combining contactless thermal temperature screening sensors with software from ZipKey, which is used in border control passport verification and biometric facial recognition, the polytouch 32 cure kiosk offers a level of public access safety and accuracy that exceeds human-error prone processes.

The temperature check is performed in less than a second, enabling processing of up to 700 people per hour. Single or multiple kiosks can be connected to automatic doors, turnstiles, locks or barriers for access control after testing.
