We’ve all gotten used to the drill by now: put on your mask, sanitise your hands, fill in the visitor’s book, have your temperature checked, and keep the people behind you waiting. If you’re clocking in to your regular place of work, the visitor’s book may be replaced with swiping your access card… unless, of course, it’s in the other laptop bag, which you forgot at home today.
Additional screening procedures and information collection for contact tracing are intended to help control the spread of the coronavirus, and are now a legal requirement in South Africa.
However, whether you manage a residential complex, a construction site, a shopping mall or an office building, it means an additional administrative and human resource burden for you, and inconvenience for your residents, guests and employees.
Osiris Technical Systems’ TMT-8 Terminal enables you to automate the process. It includes facial recognition, mask detection and temperature scanning capabilities – all at a fraction of the cost of a thermal camera. This portable unit is the size of a small tablet and can be mounted on a flat surface or a pole. The TMT-8 works well in direct sunlight and has an IP65 dust and water resistance rating, which means it is suitable for outdoor use.
“We were so impressed with the TMT-8’s capabilities that we installed it at our own offices,” says Stef du Plessis, Managing Director of Osiris Technical Systems. “It has made life much easier for our employees as well as our visitors. They are screened within seconds and admitted without any need for access cards or temperature screening by security personnel. Even though the unit is in direct sunlight for most of the day, it has worked flawlessly.”
Data collected through the TMT-8 terminal is securely uploaded to the cloud over a WiFi connection and various reports can be generated. Visitors can be pre-admitted with a photo, and unwanted visitors can even be blacklisted. The system can also be integrated with your existing security and access control systems, such as NFC card readers or driver’s licence scanners.
