Pyramid Computer GmbH has announced the U.K. availability of its polytouch 32 curve access control kiosk which automatically measures human body temperature as part of authorizing personnel and visitor access to buildings and public areas, according to a press release. By streamlining the flow of people through the kiosk, quick but accurate contactless checks can determine if an individual is running a fever and therefore potentially has the SARS-CoV-2, also known as coronavirus, or possibly another virus or bacterial disease such as influenza. With the gradual easing of public lockdown measures and a return to work, the kiosk helps businesses, institutions, public transportation and venue operators detect and reduce the potential spread of infection among employees, guests and visitors. Combining contactless thermal temperature screening sensors with software from ZipKey, which is used in border control passport verification and biometric facial recognition, the polytouch 32 cure kiosk offers a level of public access safety and accuracy that exceeds human-error prone processes. The temperature check is performed in less than a second, enabling processing of up to 700 people per hour. Single or multiple kiosks can be connected to automatic doors, turnstiles, locks or barriers for access control after testing.

Pyramid Computer introduces kiosk to measure body temperature

Using intelligent sensor technology – with over 1.000 measuring points – and tracking the distance of the subject to the sensor results in a reliable statement of body temperature. This is performed in less than a second enabling fast processing of up to 700 people per hour, therefore maximizing user convenience and safety without compromising the customer organization’s need for efficiency and security. Single or multiple kiosks are easily and safely deployed in and around buildings and can be connected to automatic doors, turnstiles, locks or barriers for access control after successful testing. “As we strive to take back control of our daily lives, the combination of personal identity verification with real-time body temperature measurement is the ultimate key for ensuring safe, secure public access,” said Patrick Hagemeister, International Account Director at Pyramid Computer. “Our new polytouch® 32 curve – access control kiosk establishes a test barrier at the entrance to your building – it could be your contribution to helping prevent virus spread by offering more protection to employees, visitors, suppliers and the general public.”
Using ZipKey’s software, the Pyramid’s polytouch® 32 curve – access control kiosk scans, verifies and extracts data from an individual’s identity credentials (e.g. card or driver’s license) and performs facial recognition to verify their identity. At the same time their body temperature is monitored. Protection from user manipulation is assured through intelligent thermal image analysis technology. The system is fully GDPR compliant with anonymized data collection and pre-defined automatic data deletion mechanisms. Data required for auditing requirements can be centrally accessed. Patrick Hagemeister  added: “Our easy to use health screening kiosk will help hasten the return of social contact and provide greater confidence in public health safety. Government and health organizations could also leverage our solution when tracking localized infection hotspots, by utilizing the real-time anonymized data capture functionality.”
Pyramid’s modular, ergonomic polytouch® 32 curve – access control kiosk can be easily customized with add-on peripherals where necessary for accommodating customer-specific access control management tasks. These include RFID card/token dispensers and label/badge printers. A retro-fit kit is available for modifying existing kiosk systems.
