Summary of FLIR SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES MODIFIED THERMAL CAMERAS SPECIFIED FOR ELEVATED SKIN TEMPERATURE SCREENING
FLIR released modified Axxx-EST, T5xx-EST, and Exx-EST thermal cameras for fast, non-contact elevated skin temperature screening to help curb COVID-19 spread. The cameras simplify setup and operation, support social distancing, and include an enhanced on-camera FLIR Screen-EST mode that raises throughput by 25% and auto-generates a baseline temperature to reduce measurement uncertainty from body and environmental variations.
Parts used in the FLIR EST thermal screening solutions:
- FLIR Axxx-EST series camera
- FLIR T5xx-EST series camera
- FLIR Exx-EST series camera
- On-camera FLIR Screen-EST mode (software/firmware feature)
FLIR Systems, Inc. announced modified thermal cameras for fast and safe non-contact elevated skin temperature* screening. The FLIR EST™ thermal screening solutions provide frontline screening at building entries and in high traffic areas to improve safety and help curb the spread of COVID-19.
The FLIR Axxx-EST, FLIR T5xx-EST, and FLIR Exx-EST series cameras are designed to simplify the screening process, reducing the burden on screening operators and adhering to recommended social distancing guidelines.
“The new FLIR EST thermal solutions represent nearly two decades of experience designing and manufacturing thermal measurement solutions for skin temperature screening,” said Jim Cannon, President and CEO at FLIR. “These cameras are our easiest cameras to set up and operate to date for skin temperature screening, requiring limited training to begin screening people more quickly and accurately.”
FLIR Screen-EST Mode
The new EST cameras also introduce an enhanced, on-camera FLIR Screen-EST mode, which increases throughput by 25 percent compared to the previous version. To further improve accuracy, the updated Screen-EST mode automatically generates a sample baseline temperature average and compares individuals’ skin temperature against that baseline, reducing measurement uncertainty from natural body temperature fluctuations and environmental effects.
