As we all know, COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has affected the economy, businesses, and people’s health. Everything has changed: global supply chains, consumer and buyer demands, the way we do business, etc. Public health experts affirm that the virus keeps evolving, and the threat to people’s health and the world’s economy still exists. As we adapt to the new normal and try our best to stay safe, businesses face a new challenge: providing a safe, low-risk space for employees and customers.

Many governments all over the world have urged businesses to adopt tracking technologies to monitor symptoms and keep people with high temperatures out of public places. That’s where temperature reading devices become a must have! They can quickly and accurately detect fever-like symptoms before someone enters a store, restaurant, workplace, etc.

Business owners are prepared to combat COVID-19 in the workplace with frequent temperature checks, and the most efficient way to do this is with a high-quality, fever-screening device.

How thermal temperature readers work

Infrared and digital temperature readers were invented and developed to take the temperature of various objects when the ordinary contact thermometer couldn’t be used. Nowadays, they are widely used by lots of industries and working environments to check the surface temperature. Further development of digital thermometers has made it possible to gauge the temperature of not only objects but also individuals.

Today’s market offers different types of thermal temperature readers. Some are excellent to use at home (a temperature reader gun, digital thermometer), while others are perfect for public places. So, how do these devices work? 

Everything, including human bodies, emits infrared radiation. If there is a temperature inequality between items and the environment, then the gradient can be determined and utilized. If the item involved has the same temperature as its atmosphere, the net radiation energy swap will be “0”. The characteristic spectrum of emission rides on the object and the atmosphere’s absolute temperature. Temperature readers utilize this radiation dependence to produce a value for a particular item or individual and display the result on the screen to be read by the operator. That’s the general working pattern of infrared/digital thermometers. However, every single type of temperature reader has its own working peculiarities.

Types of body temperature readers


The devices that we are going to discuss here are beneficial for business owners, rather than at-home use, since they provide quick, efficient symptom monitoring of groups of people. So, how do they work? 

Infrared scanner

This instant-temperature reader is capable of recognizing individuals with an elevated body temperature from up to 10 meters away and will alert the thermographer instantly. The temperature data is displayed on the screen. Infrared scanners are available in different forms: they can come as compact, portable tools, or stationary indoor temperature scanning devices.

Smart sanitizing hub

This stationary device is perfect for businesses and offices. It takes temperatures and has a facial recognition feature that will notify personnel if an employee or repeat guest has symptoms. The device also features built-in hand sanitizing equipment, so employees and customers can clean their hands while their temperature is taken. Using this body temperature reader in your workplace will minimize the chances of infection hand-sanitizing equipment, so employees and customers can clean their hands while their temperature is taken. Using this body temperature reader in your workplace will minimize the chances of infection.

Smart kiosk

This non-contact temperature reader is perfect for entrances or places with waiting rooms. The large screen can sit on a 2, 3.5, or 4.5 foot stand or can be customized to your company’s needs. The tool is designed to identify an individual, scan their temperature, capture an image, and notify the person and the thermographer if an elevated temperature is detected. The smart kiosk is convenient, reliable and quick, making it an excellent tool for reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure in the workplace.

Thermal camera

A thermal camera is an invaluable device for high-traffic places since it can differentiate up to 30 individuals walking past at a time. It’s already been called “a magic bullet” for detecting people with a potential illness. Like others, this device works by capturing and recognizing different levels of infrared light. It has a facial recognition tool that identifies repeat guests who need further monitoring. If an elevated temperature is detected, the device will alert personnel immediately. A thermal camera is an ideal device to have in crowded places. 

Temperature reader gun

This compact, portable, and easy-to-operate device measures body and/or object temperatures quickly and accurately. These devices come with infrared thermometers, and sometimes they use laser hardware. Temperature reader guns are considered non-contact devices; however, they require someone to take another person’s temperature. Despite the fact that these devices are useful and relatively inexpensive, using them is time and labor consuming.

Use cases

As we’ve seen, smart temperature reading devices are reliable devices, but they aren’t cheap. So why should governments and business owners install them in their facilities?

Doctors and public health experts have stated that an elevated temperature is often the first sign of COVID-19 and other infections. Therefore, a quick, accurate temperature check is crucial in detecting potential illnesses. Smart temperature monitoring systems are indispensable in identifying fever-like symptoms in groups of people.

Where is the best place to use a temperature reading device? High-traffic areas and crowed places (banks, restaurants, malls), can benefit from a thermal camera, since it can monitor up to 30 people at a time. It also has a facial recognition feature to identify individuals who need further screening.

All the devices mentioned above are suitable for offices, waiting areas, etc. But the smart sanitizing hub is ideal anywhere. Not only can employees and customers check their temperature — they can also sanitize their hands.

Workplaces, waiting areas, hallways, aisles: actually, all devices mentioned above are suitable for these areas. However, while doing the same functions as other temperature readers, a smart sanitizing hub also offers a hand-sanitizing option. That’s why this device is ideal for workplaces and various waiting areas - people can check themselves and clean their hands. And as we all know, hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to combat COVID-19.

All of these systems have already been tested and used in different companies and proved to be effective and reliable. They offer accurate, quick readings, and always notify personnel if fever-like symptoms were detected.

With the help of smart temperature readers, business owners can provide a lower-risk workplace for employees and make sure that potentially infected individuals stay home unless a doctor has cleared them. That’s the best way to avoid the spreading of COVID-19.

How to use smart temperature readers

Smart temperature readers are easy to use. A person approaches the device, and it takes their temperature. As for thermal cameras, there is no need to stop and wait. People simply walk past it, and if it detects an elevated temperature, it will notify personnel. Some of the best devices won’t even allow a potentially ill person to enter the facility. Having a smart device in the office requires specially trained personnel to operate and maintain. But it’s worth the effort to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Cost of digital temperature readers

Nothing is more valuable than people’s health. Digital temperature readers are a worthwhile investment to make sure employees feel secure and protected at work. With the best equipment, there is no hazard of transmission of the infection. Below is a price list for high-quality digital temperature readers. 

  • Infrared scanners - Prices vary from $30-$2,500. The more inexpensive the device, the fewer features it will include. Gadgets that cost between $30-$2,000 are more suitable for home use or small businesses with few employees and visitors.
  • Smart kiosks - These great devices cost about $2,400; they have all the features that a big company needs. Quick and accurate readings, face recognition tool and notifications.
  • Smart sanitizing hubs - The cost of this tool is a bit higher—about $3,200. However, it offers 2 solutions in 1 - a quality temperature reader and hand sanitizer. It’s a perfect combination for hospitals, banks, companies, organizations, and other public areas.
