As the solution is also a self-service system, workplaces can reduce manpower managing entry stations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>Single system to screen visitors\u2019 temperature and facilitate safe entry check in<\/em><\/li><li><em>Self-service system lets workplaces reduce manpower at entry stations<\/em><\/li><li><em>Contactless and fast: Entry experience can be completed within seconds<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Singapore, 18 June 2020 \u2013 <\/strong>Canon Singapore announced today the launch of a digital check-in solution which enables businesses to facilitate contactless, fast and easy temperature screening and entry\/exit recording for staff and customers. The solution, which is known as Facial Access Control Temperature System (FACTS), uses an 8-inch tablet1 &nbsp;which combines the functions of a camera, infrared thermography, near-field communication (NFC) device, barcode scanner and data storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key barrier to having a fast digital-check in process is the need to use multiple devices such as a thermometer, camera and barcode scanner to get the visitor\u2019s temperature and identity separately. By using FACTS, visitors can complete their safe entry digital check-in within a few seconds. This is possible with a software which integrates several functions including facial detection, infrared thermography, barcode scanning and data entry and storage in the device. To check in, visitors should stand within 0.5 to 0.7metre from the device to have their temperature screened via the infrared thermography. If the visitor\u2019s temperature is within a predetermined range, a green text box will be shown to indicate that the visitor has passed the temperature screening.\u00a0 This will be accompanied by an automated voice message which says, \u201ctemperature normal\u201d.\u00a0 The device will then request for the visitor\u2019s identity, which can be quickly obtained by scanning the visitor\u2019s identification cards such as NRIC (the latest digital version is also accepted) and driver\u2019s license at the barcode scanner. The device also can be set to automatically take a photo of the visitor, if required. It takes just a few seconds to complete the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FACTS can also be used to facilitate the use of Singapore\u2019s national digital check-in system, SafeEntry, to help retail stores, offices and other businesses comply with safe management measures at the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore said, \u201cAs more retail stores and workplaces reopen after the Circuit Breaker in Singapore, it is important to continue complying with safe management measures at the workplace.&nbsp; We need to digitalise check-in and check-out processes as much as possible, with the least number of people. We also need it to be fast and easy to use so that we can get back to work quickly and safely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Truly contactless digital check-in solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a single device, users can toggle between a digital check-in and check-out process. To make the process truly contactless, two devices can be used within the vicinity to configure a digital check-in process on one device, and a check-out process on the other. This removes the need to touch the device to manually toggle the check-in and check-out processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the multiple functions of FACTS, there is no need for additional manpower to support functions such as checking temperatures and scanning identification cards separately, thus saving manpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accurate temperature screening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to detect elevated body temperature serves as the basic check on whether the visitor is well and fit enough to enter the premise. By standing within a 0.5 to 0.7metre from the device, it can detect whether the visitor\u2019s temperature is within the acceptable predetermined range with an accuracy of \u00b10.3 degrees Celsius within just a few seconds. This is possible with the device\u2019s in-built infrared thermography, which detects surface skin temperature on the forehead of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the device only detects a single visitor\u2019s temperature in close proximity, the temperature measured is also more accurate than larger thermal scanners as it is less likely to be affected by environmental conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Option to store local data to facilitate secure access at workplaces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workplaces can configure FACTS to store local data to record daily entries and exits of staff and visitors. Staff can check into their workplaces with their company identification cards using the device\u2019s NFC reader. This is ideal for workplaces who are looking to digitalise their secure access operations and are required to store logs of people entering or exiting their premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data storage process is such that only the last four digits of the visitors\u2019 identification number will be stored in the log (if activated).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canon Singapore is also working on integrating FACTS with other devices and solutions that can be used within the office environment to help with functions such as video analytics. Another feature that will be added soon is facial recognition, which will enable staff to check into their workplaces easily. These features are targeted to be available from July 2020. &nbsp;FACTS also comes with an anti-spoofing feature that prevents unauthorised personnel from impersonating eg. by using a photo or video to enter the premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"587\" data-attachment-id=\"71921\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2020\/06\/18\/canon-singapore-all-in-one-safe-entry-covid19\/canon-safe-entry-device-02\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/canon-safe-entry-device-02.jpg?fit=800%2C587&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,587\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"canon-safe-entry-device-02\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/canon-safe-entry-device-02.jpg?fit=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/canon-safe-entry-device-02.jpg?fit=800%2C587&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/canon-safe-entry-device-02.jpg?resize=800%2C587&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/canon-safe-entry-device-02.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/canon-safe-entry-device-02.jpg?resize=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/canon-safe-entry-device-02.jpg?resize=768%2C564&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pricing and Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Facial Access Control Temperature System (FACTS) is currently available from S$3,200 onwards.
