Ramco facial recognition system detects body temp that may indicate COVID-19 infection

COVID-19 has brought the overall focus on health and safety with paramount importance. In this respect, Ramco Innovation Lab in Singapore has unveiled an advanced facial recognition based Time & Attendance System – RamcoGEEK, which is embedded with temperature recording and IoT sensor doors to enable organisations to move towards a ‘touch-less’ attendance and workplace access. The system drew upon its own facial recognition-based attendance system deployed across multiple organisations, and combined it with a thermal imaging device for temperature measurement as well as other associated software. This enables organisations to track staff or visitors with high temperatures that may indicate COVID-19 infection and build in operating procedures to avoid further contaminations caused by finger/thumb based biometric scanners.

RamcoGEEK for attendance with temperature capturing can detect and match the faces of people and mark their attendance along with temperature. Where facial-based attendance is a privacy concern, enterprises can replace it with voice to register access. The system is linked to an IoT sensor powered door that can restrict access in case the temperature is higher than normal and auto apply leave on behalf of the person. It can also track the movements of a high-temperature staff in a workplace.
