Samsung has integrated Creative Realities' thermal mirror into its thermal temperature solution, according to a press release. This no-contact solution helps business owners keep employees and customers safe by performing real-time temperature inspection.

The addition of Samsung Smart Signage to CRI's thermal mirror can display confidence measures that customers and employees find reassuring before they enter a place of business.

"CRI's thermal mirror is a seamless complement to our smart digital signage solution that gets companies back to business," Harry Patz, senior vice president and general manager of Samsung Electronics America's Display Division, said in the press release. "Using external screens to display health compliance information is an effective way to make people more comfortable entering a business, reassuring them that necessary steps are being taken to safeguard the health of everyone who enters."

Samsung's thermal temperature solution is comprised of two primary components — CRI's Thermal Mirror freestanding kiosk and a Samsung 4K UHD Display with MagicINFO. Integrating a commercial-grade Samsung display with the thermal mirror enables restaurants and other businesses to mount the secondary display prominently to report important compliance data and other critical health information.

Facial recognition is used to catalog employees as they enter the workplace, logging their temperature, time of entry and other key compliance requirements.

Employers can configure data capture to suit their specific needs, with the option of activating AI-enabled capabilities smart enough to detect patterns, trends or other indicators.
