Retailers Rely on DERMALOG's Fever Screening
HANDEWITT and HAMBURG, Germany, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- The Corona pandemic poses significant challenges for retail stores and 
shopping centers. Businesses must implement numerous health protection measures 
without compromising customer experience too much. This is why German 
Scandinavian Park mall has opted for DERMALOG's non-contact fever detection.

With its Fever Detection Camera, DERMALOG has developed a solution that 
measures body temperatures fast and accurately when walking by and can 
significantly reduce the risk of infection spreading in many areas. 
Scandinavian Park in Handewitt also uses the company's system as part of its 
hygiene concept.

At the entrance to the shopping center's market, every customer can make the 
contactless fever check by DERMALOG. The system of the German biometrics 
company measures body temperature within one second by scanning people's faces 
using state-of-the-art sensor technology. If an increased temperature is 
detected, the system displays an alert message. High accuracy, even from a 
distance of up to 2 meters, is another advantage of the camera. As an option, 
DERMALOG's temperature check includes automated mask detection. If a person 
enters a shop without a face mask, the system displays a message informing the 
person that a mask is mandatory.

"Currently, a lot of customers are insecure, whether they can shop without 
hesitation. By using a fever camera, we want to reduce this insecurity to a 
certain extent and, at the same time, make a significant contribution to health 
protection at Scandinavian Park," says Frank Sauerberg, management board member 
of Scandinavian Park Petersen KG.

DERMALOG's thermal camera was initially developed for border controls and 
airports. "In the meantime, our fever detection has become an important part of 
health protection in numerous sectors," says DERMALOG CEO Günther Mull.

German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs also recommends the use of 
contactless fever detection for "rapid clarification of suspected cases". The 
ministry's latest SARS-CoV-2 Occupational Health and Safety Standard states: 
"Notable symptoms of infection with coronavirus include fever, coughing and 
shortness of breath. For this purpose, provision must be made if possible for 
non-contact temperature measurement."

Numerous companies and institutions have already put these recommendations into 
practice. DERMALOG's temperature check is already applied in more than 50 
countries. The system protects retail stores, offices, manufacturing halls, 
sports grounds, event locations and hospitals.
