Industrial technology company FLIR Systems has announced the FLIR Screen-ESTTM software for FLIR T-Series, Exx-Series, and A-Series thermal imaging cameras
The software provides automatic measuring tools that perform individuals’ elevated skin temperature screenings in two seconds or less at entries, checkpoints, and other high-traffic areas while maintaining recommended guidelines for social distancing.
Jim Cannon, president and CEO at FLIR, said, “Governments and businesses across the globe are hard at work developing new processes to ensure public health and safety from COVID-19, including the use of radiometric thermal imaging cameras as part of a comprehensive frontline screening program.
“Now with FLIR Screen-EST software, those organisations can increase the speed and accuracy of frontline screening when using FLIR’s thermal cameras.”
FLIR Screen-EST software is designed to take an automatic measurement of skin temperature near each person’s tear duct, the surface area most closely correlated with core body temperature. When used with T-Series, Exx-Series or A-Series cameras, the software allows individual screening to occur 50 percent faster than the existing on-camera screening mode of FLIR Systems.
If a skin temperature exceeding a threshold set above the baseline average is detected by the software, Screen-EST will notify the operator and display or sound an audible alarm on the subject’s viewing monitor. The individual should then be directed to subsequent medical screening.
FLIR Screen-EST software is for Windows-based laptops and desktops. It offers a plug-and-play connection for FLIR thermal imaging cameras and can be installed or removed within minutes. This provides additional flexibility for operators to easily move locations or to quickly detach the camera for other purposes, including facilities maintenance or machine inspection.
