Biometrics startup Oloid raises $5M, among several providers launching contactless temperature scanning
Summary
NEC Asia Pacific has launched a suite of comprehensive thermal screening solutions for the Malysian and Singaporean markets to protect people as they return to work. The Thermal Sign line includes ThermaSign, which provides a simple and potable screening option combined with NEC’s digital signage to display customer’s messaging to people while checking their temperatures. “Besides incredibly uncomfortable nose swabs, there are no safety indicators adoptable by large public venues except temperature readings,” said Dr. Manfred Mueller, Identiv COO and GM, Identity. Zenatix, an IoT-focused Indian startup that is part of the Hero Group, has launched a pair of offerings for body temperature monitoring to help companies ensure safety and compliance as they resume operations. “We have seen our existing customers struggle with implementing safety measures as it requires extensive training, and there is no consistency across their workplaces and workforce,” comments Zenatix Co-founder and CEO Rahul Bhalla.
