Using a thermal CCTV camera, Thermy provides readings in real time with a variance of +/- 0.2 degrees Celsius, stored in the cloud for remote access and analysis. The data is immediately captured and generates an alert if someone with an elevated temperature profile is identified.
Thermy is simple and easy to deploy it has been designed to identify people that exhibit abnormal temperature both in terms of their skin temperature and by applying AI to compare their temperature with others in the environment. Thermy undertakes multiple assessments per person while they remain visible.
Thermy incorporates Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to identify abnormal temperatures because we need to do more than just look for a temperature. Thermy also does not perform facial recognition ensuring that people being scanned remain anonymous in the data and beyond, whilst allowing screening staff to identify people in real time for further consultation with them.
Thermy is based on Bigmate’s “Warny” solution, which uses sophisticated computer vision algorithms developed over a number of years, to protect people working around dangerous machines, such as forklifts, trucks or industrial cutting machines. Warny is used by some of Australia’s leading industrial companies to detect instances of spontaneous combustion of materials, overheating of equipment and fires in the workplace.
Warny features a number of globally-leading innovations. For example, it is unique in its ability to create distance measurement from one camera, through Bigmate’s industry leading software. This allows for the accurate detection of persons with elevated temperature for appropriate medical screening, social distancing, and people counting.
Industry has already been committed to Thermy as has some of Australia’s largest industrial and resource companies. Thermy is based on the core technology of Bigmate’s existing “Warny” solution which has been tested and proven over many years.
Thermy was designed to be implemented in almost any environment. Thermy focuses on each person detected and eliminates all background imagery. This means Thermy has very few baseline requirements and can be used almost anywhere.
+/- 0.2 degrees Celsius*
There’s no special training required outside of initial installation, meaning soon after your receive hardware you can start pre-screening your workplace almost straight away.
We work seamlessly with the Axis Thermal camera and we are powered by AWS for the edge and cloud services that ensures best of breed across the board.
Thermy only scans for temperatures located on specific zones on a humans face, so if a car drives past or someone’s holding a hot cup of coffee Thermy’s readings are unaffected.
As Thermy uses core technologies found in our thermal imaging and video safety solutions that have been around for years, it has all of their strengths, so you get reliability, scalability and performance from years of development and refinement.
Warny was developed as a global product to be rolled out globally, so we have built and host all of our infrastructure on AWS.
* based on pre-despatch calibration by Bigmate, a sample range of between 32.5 and 39 degrees and initial testing of the Thermy solution, as more source data becomes available and further testing is completed the stated figures will be further refined.
