Advantech Rolls Out AI Tools For Pandemic Screening

Irvine-based Advantech, a developer of IoT and other embedded platforms, has rolled out a new, artificial intelligence tool which it says is aimed at preventing infection by COVID-19 in high traffic and heavily populated environments. The company said its Visitor Thermal Screening System--which uses artificial intelligence for facial recognition and thermal screening, combined with a thermographic smart camera--is designed for use in offices, malls, stadiums, and elsewhere to quickly scan people who could be a risk of infection. Pricing on the product was not announced. The company said its system measures the human body temperate from a distance and quickly pinpoints individuals within a group of people who have abnormal temperatures. It also accurately catches the temperatures of people wearing masks.
