Their products are used nose to tail on commercial and military aircraft, as well as on jet engines, industrial gas turbines, automobiles, commercial transportation vehicles, wind turbines, solar power systems, and construction and industrial equipment. Howmet Aerospace\u2019s largest and fastest-growing market is aerospace, where they have had a major presence since the Wright brothers\u2019 first flight way back in 1903.\u00a0 Howmet Aerospace had a need to create a safer work environment in their manufacturing facilities so that employees would feel comfortable returning to work amidst workers\u2019 concerns being infected by co-workers carrying the Coronavirus. \u00a0The client had tested numerous thermal camera solutions designed to detect elevated body temperature, but the client remained dissatisfied with everything they had tested. CHALLENGE The biggest challenge was how to ensure the client\u2019s employees that the client\u2019s numerous manufacturing facilities were indeed safe and that it was unlikely anyone inside the facilities would become ill from being exposed to other employees who had contracted Coronavirus.\u00a0 The client had also already invested heavily in time &amp; money implementing their DSX access control system. \u00a0The client needed a solution to detect elevated body temperature which would also integrate with their DSX system and spare the client from needing to hire a security service to carry client-issued thermometers and scan every employee entering the facilities. SOLUTION Working closely with the client\u2019s trusted integration partner System Design Associates in Woodland Park, NJ, the client agreed to implement ZKTeco SpeedFace model SF1008+.\u00a0 In addition to being a highly accurate body temperature detection device, SF1008+ also integrates with the client\u2019s DSX system.\u00a0 SF1008+ has a built-in face and palm recognition reader in addition to its thermal sensor.\u00a0 Employees\u2019 faces (alternatively palms) are first scanned prior to entering the facility for identification purposes.\u00a0 SF1008+ then scans the employee\u2019s face for body temperature.\u00a0 If the employee passes the body temperature inspection, only then will the SF1008+ output the employee\u2019s badge# via its Wiegand output to the DSX panel.\u00a0 If the employee has the necessary access rights, the DSX panel unlocks the gate securing the facility.\u00a0 However, if the employee fails their body temperature inspection, no Wiegand signal is output from the SF1008+ to the DSX panel thereby keeping the gate entry locked.\u00a0 This ensures no one inside the facility has an elevated body temperature thereby reducing the risk of employees being exposed to anyone contagious. System Design Associates has been providing Integrated Building Systems for commercial building owners and managers throughout New Jersey and New York City since 1981. \u00a0They offer onsite surveys, field coordination, project management, as-built documentation, installation, and repair\/maintenance services. RESULTS The client is completely satisfied with SF1008+ face matching speed, body temperature detection accuracy, and DSX integration.\u00a0 After the units are fully deployed at their Pittsburgh manufacturing facility, the client intends on implementing SF1008+ in its other manufacturing facilities located throughout the world."}
