Everyone knows about
temperature reading
guns but it is difficult
for small business to
have someone at the
door all day and night
applying the gun or
doing it at the counter
doesn’t work as they
have already entered
the store. Our Thermal
Camera Facial
Recognition device
is slightly larger than
an iPhone and is a
standalone unit that
can be placed right at
the front door.
There is no certain guarantee at the
moment of how to eliminate the virus
short of a vaccine but there are other
technologies that can certainly help
protect you, your family, your customers
and your suppliers delivering your instore
stock.
We all know masks are number one
on the list as well as sanitizer and
hand washing but what good is all this
if someone is already infected but not
showing real symptoms? This is where
technology can help.
Everyone knows about temperature

all day and night applying the gun or
doing it at the counter doesn’t work as
they have already entered the store. Our
Thermal Camera Facial Recognition device
is slightly larger than an iPhone and
is a standalone unit that can be placed
right at the front door. When a client
enters, they simply step in front of the
TCFR unit which will take their temperature
and facial recognition if needed.
This is wireless Bluetooth technology
so the info automatically goes to the cashier
or manager. They get a temperature
readout and if ok the person is allowed
in. However, if they have a temperature
an alarm will sound and that person is
stopped from entering. Facial recognition
can be used for employees, suppliers
delivering and frequent visitors so they
can safely be tracked over time.
The TCFR can be programed to meet
any of your needs depending on the application
and location and it gives your
customers the confidence that you are
doing as much as you can to protect
them and they will appreciate your
efforts.
Our UV lighting fixture is designed
for quick sanitation of any space big or
small and offers 360 degrees of disinfection
and sterilizing. The UVC has been
used by hospitals and has now been designed
for retail and commercial applications.
It is very portable can be moved
from area to area, your retail space then
back into your product storage area, etc.
The 55-watt UVC effectively eliminates
bacteria, viruses and mites and can cover
an area of up to 196 square feet with
a 14-foot radius and offers settings of
15/30/45 and 60 minutes. You simply set up the UVC in the
centre of the area and switch it on, it has a 10 second delay
warning sound to allow you to vacate the room. Once the unit
has completed the time period you assign you wait for 30 minutes
for the disinfection odour to dissipate and you are back in
business just that quick with a completely sanitized space safe
and ready for business.
The 3rd main item we focus on against COVID is sneeze
shields. A lot of people just go to the local hardware store and
buy a piece of plastic, get out the duct tape and hang it or fasten
it to the counter. However, to properly protect yourself a
Covid manufactured shield is available that offers the ultimate
in protection for you and your client. It is not just having any
old plastic between you and the client but proper thickness is
important, the bottom opening for payment or passing goods
through is key as well to stop transmission. One other feature
overlooked is the fact that certain versions of the shield come
with sides, again very important as droplets go around corners!
Once airborne, they can easily come around the side of the
shield so many customers are going with the side shield.
One other important lighting-based technology is digital see
thru signage for safety and protection. This is an illuminated
sign with graphics that hangs in your store front window, from
the outside it appears as a normal sign, but looking from the inside
out you can see clearly right through the sign to the pumps
and see what everyone is up to. This may not seem like a Covid
related product but it is as you can maintain your ad value but
also see if anyone coming in has a mask on. Do they appear
healthy and safe? As well, studies are now suggesting unfortunately
thefts will be on the rise due to high unemployment
