Face recognition system with fever measurement + mask control

The safety of the company and the health of its employees are now more important than ever. This is particularly true in the food industry. In the meantime, in addition to the usual parameters, a large number of new aspects have to be taken into account in order to bring the security status to the highest possible level. Who, when and which part of a production facility is allowed to enter must be defined, as well as the numerous hygiene aspects from measuring body temperature to cleaning soles.

The new generation of personal airlocks from the hygiene specialist Mohn not only helps to communicate the diverse requirements, but also to control and document them. This can now be done automatically when passing through the security gate. State-of-the-art camera technology - combined with an optional automatic data synchronization - enables contactless data exchange with maximum efficiency and bandwidth with the "Face Checkpoint" model.

Whoever wants to go through the new generation of security gates only needs to look into the scanner for a moment (0,2 seconds is enough) to identify themselves. As soon as this has happened, the built-in camera first determines the identity of the person by comparing the facial recognition. The accuracy is estimated at over 99%. At the same time, a non-contact temperature scanner is used to determine whether the body temperature is below the fever threshold.

If this is the case, an impulse is triggered via the potential-free contact, which e.g. B. opens an electric door opener or the optional turnstile. However, if the defined threshold is exceeded, this will result in denial of access to the building or to a specific space and a notification of this will be documented.

At the same time, the face checkpoint scanner can be used to record which areas the respective employee has access to and whether it is mandatory to wear a face mask. The correct fit of the protective mask is also checked during this process and can be shown on a display.

The memory of the face scanner has a data capacity of 50.000 people as standard, which meets all requirements even with large fluctuations. Most face recognition devices are no larger than a smartphone and can be installed without great structural effort. The face checkpoint scanner type FCP is quickly mounted on the wall or can be positioned on site using an optionally available hygiene stand.

In the main entrances of buildings, the installation of a double-wing sensor barrier “Face-Checkpoint Type FCP-DFT-A” is also recommended, which allows individuals to pass through quickly. The locking elements are made of transparent acrylic glass. This is a motorized sensor barrier that is designed for 2-way operation and is even barrier-free. All the functions of the Face Checkpoint Scanner FCP are also available here.

This type of security gate should always be installed in advance of an extended building entrance to provide additional security while increasing the speed of check-in. Further access authorizations can also be verified or denied literally on the fly.

For companies with side entrances, such as delivery areas (so-called driver locks) or before or after production and social rooms, high care areas or slicer rooms, in which a personnel hygiene lock is often already available, a retrofit option is available under the name FCP-HS for the facial check, combined with temperature measurement and "mask requirement check" in the "hygienic design" stainless steel housing. It is equipped with special tubing for attachment to hygiene sluices.

Compared to the previous practice of gaining entry with a chip card, the new system has numerous advantages. Carrying a data carrier with you is now a thing of the past, especially since losing access authorization is not tied to a movable medium. If the employee leaves the company, the access permit also expires.

"This new technology marks an evolutionary step in security, is practice-oriented in every respect and is also implemented in the data protection regulation," explains David Mohn, Managing Director of MOHN GmbH.
