The system consists of a device with a camera, temperature screening and a scanner that reads the identification card of a visitor for an integrated safe entry experience. As the solution is also a self-service system, workplaces can reduce manpower managing entry stations.
Canon’s new all-in-one entry-control system: FACTS.
Canon Singapore announced today the launch of a digital check-in solution which enables businesses to facilitate contactless, fast and easy temperature screening and entry/exit recording for staff and customers.
Benefits
- Single system to screen visitors’ temperature and facilitate safe entry check in.
- Self-service system lets workplaces reduce manpower at entry stations.
- Contactless and fast: Entry experience can be completed within seconds.
The solution, which is known as Facial Access Control Temperature System (FACTS), uses an 8-inch tablet which combines the functions of a camera, infrared thermography, near-field communication (NFC) device, barcode scanner and data storage.
The tablet is a third-party device distributed by Canon Singapore.
To check in, visitors should stand within 0.5 to 0.7metre from the device to have their temperature screened via the infrared thermography.
If the visitor’s temperature is within a predetermined range, a green text box will be shown to indicate that the visitor has passed the temperature screening.
Why FACTS?
A key barrier to having a fast digital-check in process is the need to use multiple devices such as a thermometer, camera and barcode scanner to get the visitor’s temperature and identity separately.
By using FACTS, visitors can complete their safe entry digital check-in within a few seconds.
This is possible with a software which integrates several functions including facial detection, infrared thermography, barcode scanning and data entry and storage in the device.
This will be accompanied by an automated voice message which says, “temperature normal”.
The device will then request for the visitor’s identity, which can be quickly obtained by scanning the visitor’s identification cards such as NRIC (the latest digital version is also accepted) and driver’s license at the barcode scanner.
The device also can be set to automatically take a photo of the visitor, if required.
It takes just a few seconds to complete the entire process.
FACTS can also be used to facilitate the use of Singapore’s national digital check-in system, SafeEntry, to help retail stores, offices and other businesses comply with safe management measures at the workplace.
More details below from the press release.
