Pvt firm unveils health monitoring cum attendance recorder system

Coimbatore: A city-based automation company has unveiled a health monitoring system, which it says could also act as an attendance recorder system.
The system can do away with the need of security personnel at offices checking every entrant’s body temperature and then recording the entrant’s name, phone number, address and body temperature details. The automation company developed the system over the last three months.“While an employee’s details can be fed into the system, the system can scan his or her RF id from their id card, along with scanning their body temperature when they enter the office.It can scan a guest entrant’s Aadhaar card or driving licence and record their entry,” says one of the team of eight developers who developed the product, S Loganathan.
“The system will give a low alarm if the body temperature is normal, but a loud alarm when the temperature is high,” he said.
While employees with fever can be detected, guests too can be traced by government officials if they leave the premises after being denied entry. Further, a person with normal body temperature when walking out of the system, can stretch out hands for sanitization. The firm says the system which costs 70,000, would be useful in offices with high people movement like government offices.
