Janam Technologies, a provider of mobile computers and contactless access solutions, introduced a temperature sensing kiosk that reads the body temperature and confirms the identity of individuals entering a facility, according to a press release.
GT2 screens an individual's temperature from up to 20 inches away. Available in pedestal, countertop and wall-mounted formats, GT2 integrates with gates, turnstiles and door access control systems in sports and live entertainment venues, airports, hospitals, retail establishments, restaurants, office buildings, hotels, schools and virtually any organization that wants to reassure staff and guests that they are entering a safe environment.
GT2 complies with guidelines proposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as by state and local governments for operating during COVID-19.
The kiosk can read a person's body temperature in less than one second, with accuracy of ±0.9° F. When a body temperature exceeding a predefined threshold is detected, GT2 provides an instant notification in the form of a voice alert and a siren.
The kiosk includes an optional mask detection mode and can be configured to grant access only if an individual is also wearing a face mask.
Facial recognition technology can be enabled to identify employees at entry, log their date and time of entry and record their temperature to integrate into existing human resources systems.
Android-powered and equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen display, GT2 offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4G LTE (for data) connectivity for sharing information in real-time.
