SAUSALITO, Calif., Aug. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Athena
Security today announced its partnership with workplace solutions
company Envoy, to equip offices with the most accurate,
contact-free temperature screening on the market. Envoy, the
leading workplace platform provider, which includes services from
easy meeting room booking to delivery notifications, is including
an integration with Athena's technology in its Envoy Protect
product to bring employees back to work safely. Athena Security's
temperature screening system measures multiple points on the
subjects' face near the eye, called the inner canthus, to determine
temperatures accurate within .2 degrees Celsius. Pre-configured to
99.5 F, an automatic alarm notification is sent as individuals walk
single file past the camera capable of pre-screening up to 2,000
people per hour. The system collects no personal info, is
contact-free and those who register high temperatures are then
screened by an FDA approved medical thermometer.
Thermal screenings have been included in the CDC's list of
recommendations for office safety during the pandemic.
"Envoy is pleased to work with Athena Security to build the
workplace of the future as we increase the touch free and health
conscious aspects for the modern office," said Envoy CEO
Larry Gadea. "As the global
workforce returns to work, they will be met with a new found sense
of security knowing that the smartest tools have been seamlessly
woven throughout the work environment."
"In light of the pandemic, it's wonderful to partner with a
workplace leader like Envoy to bring accurate, touch free
temperature screenings to enhance office safety," said Athena
Security CEO Lisa Falzone. "Since
day one of the pandemic, people have been caught between the need
to stay healthy and the need to provide for their families and it's
a great day when you can help them do both at the same time."
"As part of our ongoing pursuit of operational execution, we
found our way to Athena Security and Envoy," said BJ Services Vice
President of Human Resources & Administration Malcolm O'Neal. "Both are best in breed in their
respective spaces, and their partnership is a game changer in both
employee experience and risk mitigation. We are excited to be one
of the first companies to experience the data-driven, decision
making support this combination will offer."
