Crystal Display Systems are helping to ensure security and safety as the world attempts to resume back to normal working life with it's CDS TAURI tablets. In this troubled time, customers and employees are counting on their employers and stores to look out for their safety.

CDS are strongly supporting the governments advice to stay at home where possible to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. As lockdown is eventually lifted and life slowly adapts to the new realities of social distancing, and enhanced levels of hygiene and symptom awareness, CDS have introduced a new product that they hope will give some reassurances to workplaces, and public spaces such as shops and leisure venues.

The TAURI temperature sensing tablet is an adaptation to CDS’ existing range of commercial tablet devices, by the addition of a thermal imaging camera system to monitor the temperature of staff and visitors.

Coupled with a simple ‘App’ and a locked down operating system, the solution gives a standalone ‘out of the box’ first layer of defence, zero contact, automatic temperature sensing system, at the entrance to a premises or threshold.

The TAURI works as a self-verification tablet on entry to a premises, the system monitors the temperature and informs the user of the result visually on the screen alongside an image of the user and a thermal map from the camera. Increasing hygiene and safety as no physical contact is necessary.

TAURI tablets can check a person’s body temperature under three seconds and within three feet of the monitor using advanced German infrared technology. This is achieved without touching a screen, reducing the need for an inefficient and potentially infectious thermometer. A beep and red light indicates the temperature is too high and a green light when the temperature is acceptable.

The system is calculated with an algorithm for object heat- and fast detection temperature-accuracy, tolerance at +- 0.5°C, with a refresh rate at 64Hz for increased efficiency.

TAURI tablets are standalone automatic systems which are simple and intuitive to operate with Android 7.1, integrated USB connection and are available in three sizes – 10.1″, 15″ and 21.5″.

The future is promising for TAURI with plans of firmware upgrade options will including facial recognition with customized flagging, capacity counting, advertising, and reporting.
