Siemens body temperature solution minimizes infection risk in buildings
Contactless temperature measurement at main entry points in buildings
Integrates into workflow of existing security and access solutions
Increases protection of building occupants
Siemens Smart Infrastructure announced the launch of Siveillance Thermal Shield. This solution package quickly measures the body temperature of a person seeking to access a building and enables the results to be integrated into the video and access systems of corporations. Thermal imaging cameras are used to measure, in a contactless way, the body temperature at a distance of up to two meters, ensuring the safety of monitoring staff. If the camera screening indicates an elevated body temperature, a second reading must be taken using a medical thermometer to confirm the finding.

Thermal imaging cameras are used to measure, in a contactless way, the body temperature at a distance of up to two meters, ensuring the safety of monitoring staff. If the camera screening indicates an elevated body temperature, a second reading must be taken using a medical thermometer to confirm the finding.
This solution package integrates the third-party
screening camera with the Siveillance Video security platform and other
security systems from Siemens. This allows the measurements to be seamlessly
integrated into the workflow of the corporate security solutions. Using
Siveillance Thermal Shield at the entrance to a factory building, for example,
offers a quick and easy way to screen employees as part of routine access
control procedures. This is particularly useful in the food industry where the
Covid-19 pandemic has made production more challenging. Other possible use
cases include hospitals and border crossings.
“Siveillance Thermal Shield
improves the safety of all occupants in buildings or facilities”, said Joachim
Langenscheid, Solution and Service Portfolio HeadEurope at
Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “We also advise companies on how they can use
Thermal Shield for their industry-specific applications to optimize their
security systems and procedures, and we support them in the technical
implementation.”
To ensure the highest level of accuracy, the
cameras measure the body temperature near the eyes. A positive result triggers
acoustic and visual alarms. The temperature is measured for each person
individually to ensure accurate and reliable results. If a person shows an
elevated body temperature and this finding is confirmed by a second reading
obtained with a medical thermometer, the follow-up steps defined in the
workflows are initiated automatically.
