The ACB League finals are protected with the Therma Vision System technology from Sothis

Access to Valencia Basket facilities, in which this competition is held, it is controlled with this solution that combines thermal cameras and AI to measure the temperature in the tear duct.

The ACB League will control access to its final round, which will be held in the facilities of Valencia Basket, with an innovative real-time body temperature measurement solution through the eyes developed by Sothis, company specialized in integrated IT and industrial and business management solutions.

The Thermal Vision System solution (TVS) from Sothis combines thermal cameras and artificial intelligence (IA) to measure the temperature in the tear duct, evitando, unlike other technologies, false positives caused, For example, due to the overheating of the face caused by the mask when measuring the entire face.

This technology has been in use since last 17 June and until next 30 June, dates on which Valencia hosts the exceptional Final Phase of the ACB League, in which twelve teams compete for the title in a total of 33 matches.

For the celebration, the basketball club has made available to the participants, in collaboration with the City Council and the Valencian Government, a device around the Fuente de San Luis Pavilion (known as La Fonteta, where the matches will be held) y L’Alqueria del Basket, the home of European training basketball, with courts and locker rooms so that the twelve teams can train with maximum safety.

Valencia Basket ha desplegado esta la solución en todos los accesos a L’Alqueria del Basket y La Fonteta para controlar fácilmente la temperatura de los jugadores y garantizar así la seguridad de todos los equipos participantes en la competición, del personal técnico y deportivo y de los medios de comunicación que acceden estos días a las instalaciones.

The solution, pionera en España, ayuda a identificar de manera eficaz a las personas con fiebre en los accesos a las instalaciones, con mediciones en menos de un segundo y sin necesidad de contacto, evitando riesgos, retrasos y aglomeraciones.

Una de sus principales ventajas respecto a otras soluciones es que combina cámaras termográficas con un software propio, desarrollado por Sothis, which incorporates artificial intelligence to measure temperature using only the tear duct of the eyes as a reference, which is the most accurate measurement area.

Its installation is carried out in an average of only four hours and the process complies with the data protection requirements established by legislation and the UNE-EN standard 80601-2-59:2019, which dictates the specific requirements for the basic safety and essential operation of exploration thermographs for detecting human febrile temperature.

Being proprietary software, this solution can be integrated with other technologies, such as access control systems or production processes, and its accuracy range shows a maximum variation of 0.3ºC (more data in Digital Security).

In addition to TVS, the Horus Suite, en la que se integra este dispositivo, dispone de otros módulos orientados a minimizar los riesgos de propagación de la COVID-19, tales como el control de aforos (CCS) and access control (ACS), junto con otro para la analítica y trazabilidad e identificación facial (TAS).

“Actualmente, la medición de la temperatura del lagrimal es la más precisa. Combinando cámaras termográficas con IA hemos diseñado una solución de eficacia ya probada que supera en fiabilidad a aquellas que, For example, se guían por la temperatura del rostro y que producen falsos positivos. Esperamos que TVS ayude a garantizar la seguridad durante la competición”, explica Joaquín Guerra, director general de la unidad de negocio de control y consultoría industrial de Sothis.
