Thermographic imaging, through cameras, scanners, or other devices, is an important screening technology that has been marshaled in the fight against the novel coronavirus. You may have seen these devices already installed in airports, in stores or in office buildings monitoring the surface temperature of customers or visitors to check for any signs of an elevated temperature.
n
While asymptomatic people without fevers may also be carriers, having a fever is one commonly recognized symptoms and a sign of potential infection. According to guidelines issued by the Japanese government, anyone with a temperature in excess of 37.5 C (99.5 F) for more than four consecutive days should be tested for the virus.
n
While big companies and stores have the room and the budget to purchase and install thermographic imaging cameras or scanners, it may be out of reach for small businesses, offices or nursing homes.
n
Fortunately, now there’s a compact and affordable solution on the market.

Why buy a Thermogate Zero?
n
n
It’s equipped with a reliable non-contact temperature sensor manufactured by OMRON, a global manufacturer of health and medical equipment. When it detects a set temperature of 37.5 degrees or higher, the LED of the terminal lights up and an alarm sounds.
n
It requires no installation. Simply attach the magnets with double-sided tape and you’re ready to go. No expensive attachments or dedicated stands are required.
n
Extremely affordable price of ¥29,800 per unit (excluding tax). Since the Thermogate Zero focuses exclusively on body temperature detection function, Pebble Corporation was able to develop the device in a relatively short period of time and keep the price low. At this price, you can install multiple units and implement stronger safety measures.
