NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- EyeLock LLC, the
leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, announced
today an optional add-on module called iTemp® for its recently
launched nano iXT® iris biometric reader. iTemp is a thermal sensor
that reads a user's forehead temperature at the same time their
irises and identities are being authenticated. With iTemp, there is
no longer a need to move to a different device for a temperature
check. The technology at the center of iTemp is the highly accurate
and sought after, FLIR Lepton® LWIR sensor. This is the same
technology that is present in many of the hand-held IR temperature
measurement devices on the market today.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses around the
world are moving away from touch-based fingerprint and hand-based
biometrics systems. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has
publicly stated that one of the most common symptoms of SARS, MERS
and COVID-19 is fever. iTemp gives businesses an ultra-affordable
and easily deployable tool to help them increase the safety of
their workplace, while providing the highest biometric identity
accuracy for access control.
Jeff Carter, EyeLock's CEO,
stated, "The iTemp module for the nano iXT equips companies with a
highly accurate, reliable and user-friendly tool that helps them
create the safest possible work and business environments for their
employees and customers. Measuring an individual's temperature can
be done decisively and with confidence to permit or deny access
within a building because of the extreme accuracy of the new iTemp
device. Ultimately, it delivers not only greater safety but also
peace of mind for everyone."
The nano iXT provides the technology framework to manage and
control the iTemp thermal sensor. Setting the temperature
threshold, displaying custom messaging during use, and denying the
subject access if their temperature exceeds the threshold, are just
some of the key features and capabilities, with more to come. The
nano iXT, with its optional iTemp module, is the ideal biometric
solution for today's world.
