BANGKOK and HAMBURG, Germany, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The spread of coronavirus shows that in today's world of fast global travel,

outbreaks of infectious diseases can cross national borders within the shortest

time. DERMALOG has developed the first biometric border control system with

integrated fever detection, identifying potentially infected travelers right at

border entrance to contain epidemics. The latest innovation of the German

company has now been presented to the public for the first time in Thailand.

As the first country in the world, Thailand has introduced a pilot for a new

fever detection system, fully integrated into its biometric border control. The

new solution was demonstrated to the press by the Thai Immigration Bureau

deputy commissioner, Pol Maj-Gen Surapong Chaichan at Don Mueang International

Airport in Bangkok on February 12.

From now on, the biometric border control system in Don Mueang can capture not

only fingerprints and faces, but also measures the body temperature of

travelers who pass through the related counters. The temperature is displayed

on the border officer's screen and, if someone with fever is detected, the

officer is automatically informed and can send the affected person for a health

check.

DERMALOG, the supplier of the biometric border control system, has developed a

special fever camera, which is fully integrated into the Thai entry-exit

system. It automatically measures the exact temperature of the traveler while

standing in front of the border counter. The high fever-detection accuracy at a

distance of up to 1.5 m, is one of the system's outstanding features.

Border counters are the perfect spot for such fever checks, as travelers stop

here one by one for a moment. DERMALOG's solution provides more accurate and

precise results than camera systems that capture several travelers

simultaneously. This makes the Thai borders more secure, also against the

coronavirus.
