Using Thermal Imaging to Increase COVID-19 Compliance & Confidence
Webinar Date: August 6, 2020
Presented by: Key Distribution Partners, LLC
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses, medical practices, and institutions to implement various measures to promote the safety and confidence of their employees, customers, and patients. A key component of these protective measures is monitoring the temperature and adherence to mask wearing policies for any individuals that enter the premises. Enforcement of these procedures however can lead to increased costs and potential exposure of other employees.
Our guest speakers from Key Distribution Partners and CCTV Agent, Inc., explore what technologies are coming to the market to execute and document enforcement of these procedures in a more efficient manner.
During the program, our panel of speakers review low risk, contact free thermal imaging technology that is currently available and discuss how businesses are using this technology to drive adherence and confidence.
