Ifema reinforces its prevention measures against Covid-19 with Dahua's thermal solution

To avoid direct contact and reduce the spread among healthcare workers and staff, the Chinese manufacturer has donated its real-time body temperature monitoring thermal solution to the field hospital.

With the aim of strengthening preventive measures against Covid-19 infection for those on the front lines, Dahua Technology it has donated to the field hospital in IFEMA Madrid its real-time body temperature monitoring thermal solution.

The goal is to help maintain the health of healthcare personnel and other workers, who are currently carrying out their duties at the field hospital. El kit de monitoreo térmico se ha instalado en el acceso de profesionales del recinto ferial para monitorear la temperatura de las personas que accedan a las instalaciones, y poder actuar en consecuencia, ante una variación significativa de temperatura.

Desde el inicio de la crisis sanitaria, la empresa multinacional ha instalado numerosos kits de monitoreo de temperatura en todo el mundo, incluyendo la zona cero de Wuhan (China) y otros espacios como aeropuertos, estaciones de tren, hospitals, schools, estaciones de metro y supermercados de Asia y Europa, para la ayuda para la prevención y control de esta pandemia.

En cuanto a su funcionamiento, este kit de monitoreo térmica cuenta con una tecnología que permite medir la temperatura excluyendo otras fuentes de calor, visually and intelligently alerting about any abnormal variations detected.

This temperature control consists of a 'blackbody', placed in the field of view of the thermal camera, which provides a constant and precise temperature reference, capable of self-calibration, something essential to maintain high measurement accuracy.

Esta medida, it achieves an accuracy of ±0.3ºC, and without physical contact with the person. Besides, the camera simultaneously provides a high-resolution visible image alongside a thermal image of the scene, identifying the individual temperature of each person.

Thanks to Dahua's artificial intelligence algorithm, the system is capable of recognizing specifically the face within human figures, measuring the temperature on their forehead with great accuracy, and excluding any other nearby heat sources within a range of about three meters, which could trigger a false alarm.

To measure the temperature of 5.000 people with a forehead thermometer would take about four hours, since it takes a minimum of three seconds to measure it individually. However, using the Dahua solution, only this is needed 30 minutes.
