Siemens Smart Infrastructure Launches the Siveillance Thermal Shield
Think of a quick pause at the front door where a friendly camera takes a peek at your forehead, all without you having to step on a scale or touch a sensor. That’s the Siveillance Thermal Shield in a nutshell: a fast, contactless way to check if someone’s body temperature is a bit higher than it should be before they swing a keycard.
How It Works
- Thermal cameras scan up to two metres away, so staff can stay safe and still get the data they need.
- A spike in temperature triggers an audible and visual alarm—just a helpful reminder that something might be off.
- If the initial reading looks high, the system automatically drops a second, more precise check with a medical thermometer to make sure it isn’t a false alarm.
- Once both readings agree, the built‑in workflow kicks into gear, nudging the security team on the next steps (whether that’s a quick health check, a staff briefing, or a door deny).
Seamless Integration
The Shield plugs right into Siemens’ Siveillance Video platform and any existing security infrastructure. It’s all about keeping the information loop tight—no manual log handling, no double‑entry checking, just a smooth flow from camera to access system.
Why Buildings Need It
- Manufacturing and Factories – a quick front‑door screening helps keep production lines running smoothly, especially when safety protocols are tighter than ever.
- Food‑Processing Plants – the pandemic ramped up health checks and the Shield makes sure every employee and visitor is safe before they touch the equipment.
- Healthcare Facilities – hospitals and clinics benefit from rapid, hands‑free temperature checks to protect patients and staff.
- Border and Airport Terminals – high‑traffic checkpoints gain a reliable tool to screen travelers efficiently.
What the Experts Say
Joachim Langenscheid, Solution and Service Portfolio Head Europe grins over the new launch: “Siveillance Thermal Shield boosts the safety of everyone inside a building. We’re also showing companies how they can tailor this tool for industry‑specific needs, improving security workflows and ensuring the tech gets installed just right.”
With the Shield, the emphasis is on accuracy—camera readings happen close to the eyes, a strategic spot to capture reliable temperatures on a per‑person basis.
