Nokia Develops Access Control System That Checks Temperature, Mask Compliance

Nokia Corp. said Thursday that it has developed a detection
system that can be used to monitor access at various facilities to
identify Covid-19 symptoms and monitor mask compliance.
The Finnish network equipment vendor said the system provides
analytics-based thermal detection which is designed to help spot
potential Covid-19 infections in facilities with thousands of
people.
Nokia said that organizations can also expand the system to
support other continuing use cases to protect employees and
building assets, including predictive surveillance, machine
maintenance, security threats and anomaly detection.
The Nokia Automated Analytic Solution, or NAAS, uses a thermal
camera to capture video footage and takes individual temperature
readings for every person that enters the screening site. The
analytics engine processes the video clip to determine whether the
individuals require additional screening, or aren't complying with
mask-wearing rules.
If an irregularity is detected, Nokia said an alert is
automatically sent to personnel in the field to initiate
track-and-trace or post-detection actions.
It said the entire process takes place in near-real time and the
automated operation enables scaling to very large environments with
thousands of people and multiple access points.
