Konica Minolta Business Solutions, a Multiple ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner in the 2019, 2018 and a 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Programs, is pleased to announce the Mobotix Thermal Screening Station has been nominated to compete in the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Awards.

Mobotix’s thermal radiometry imaging technology measures infrared energy quickly and
efficiently, for an all-in-one system that comes with everything you need to establish a front-line screening process to identify elevated body temperatures, a significant symptom of COVID-19.

Visitors and employees face the camera and to allow for the inner canthus eye screening, the most accurate point for surface temperature in thermal radiometry, while an operator can view the thermal image on the screen.

Screen alerts in red will identify those screening out of your prescribed range who may need additional temperature testing.

The Mobotix thermal screening images differentiate between hot objects and face objects, and thumbnail images with temperature data are saved on the local dashboard with clear green or red indicators of pass or fail.

The intelligent video system with an integrated high-performance thermal image sensor takes full advantage of the M16 camera design. Thanks to the two directly adjacent lenses, there is also a thermal overlay function with image overlay (thermal and optical) to pinpoint the exact location of hotspots like smoldering fires in a visible image.
