Arup is supporting organisations’ safe and efficient return to normal operations with its newly developed thermal imaging tool that detects high body temperatures to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
A high temperature is one of the first symptoms of COVID-19, so during the transition period to normality, quick and accurate body temperature screening in public or commercial environments is clearly vital.
In response, Arup has developed a fast, non-invasive and reliable means of thermal screening to safeguard buildings and premises. With our bespoke AI technology embedded within a thermal imaging camera, the tool can identify those with a high temperature and detect potential cases of coronavirus.
Highly smart, best value
To cope with challenges to perform large-scale mass temperature screening at speed, this system can identify elevated human body temperatures remotely, quickly and efficiently even in busy crowds. It reduces the need for performing slow, manual checks in venues, a process which usually leads to long queues and gathering of people.
