Body Temperature Monitoring System for Employees

There is no factory production work from home. But the challenge to staff a factory becomes much more daunting every day during this COVID-19 pandemic, with emphasis on social distancing, and avoiding groups of people. India Inc will reset its workspaces once work resumes after the lockdown, with large-scale behavioural and physical space alterations on cards. Businesses also expect the use of office workspace to be drastically different from pre-Covid era, where optimizing the use of office space was essential.

VF&T recently conducted a manufacturers’ online discussion involving scores of manufacturers from numerous industry sectors to share ideas about how manufacturers can continue to operate in the face of this pandemic. Here are some of the discussion points and ideas & practices identified in that discussion.

How to find High-Risk Employees?

Manufacturers may have to move decisively to identify and exclude from the workplace those employees who have symptoms of the COVID-19 illness (i.e., fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, or difficulty breathing)—in fact, the The ministry of home affairs (Disease Control and Prevention) recommends in guidance that employers “actively encourage sick employees to stay home.” Where feasible, it could be better to go one step further and identify and exclude from the factory employees who are at high risk.

For example, employers may want to encourage employees who have taken cruises or international flights in the last few weeks, or who live with individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 infection, to remain at home.

Asking for self-identification through regular surveys or interviews will have its own limitation of getting facts from them. Again, this is easier said than done. Many hourly employees live daily/weekly wages and may be reluctant to admit to having members of their households who demonstrate symptoms out of fear of being laid off or being unable to work for a period of time. Thus, employers may need to reduce the potential barriers to full disclosure.

High protection and identification of workers actual health and body temperature is very much essential and is a serious concern. To help you create a healthier workforce VF&T offers body status check solution that allows you to get a body health temperature logging of your workforce to monitor one of the important factors before, on and after their work timings.

How to monitor workers body temperature during period of COVID-19

Digital thermometers use electronic heat sensors to record body temperatures. They can be used in the rectum (rectal), mouth (oral) or armpit (axillary). Armpit temperatures are typically the least accurate of the three.

Key features of RFID Tag

• Easy to use
• Single time use (work around 30 to 45 days)
• Recyclables as common waste (WEEE)
• Contains no dangerous substances
• Can be deployed quickly
• Air freight safe (No lithium batteries)

Even with COVID-19 requiring social distancing for the weeks or months to come, every Country and State/s still requires an enormous class of workers to keep essential services online. Many of these essential industries will see continued demand for their products and services, the inverse of other industries that cannot operate during a period of social distancing. We propose a simple monitoring technique to support the baseline information of staff at the time of resuming duty. Following way, we can have the RFID enabled tag installed on the body:

can use Waterproof Transparent Dressing Tap to avoid any allergies before applying RFID Body Temperature Tag under armpit.

• Provides protection from any allergic reaction to body
• Stays on skin for long periods of time with minimal skin irritation
• Allows moisture to escape while allowing oxygen in for breathability
• Flexes and moves with body for greater comfort
• Easy-to-apply and remove
• Trusted by doctors and nurses in hospitals for more than 25 years

Given all this uncertainty and recognizing that an increasing number of cities and states under lockdown and post have developed their own definitions of who is essential. Neglecting their health checkups might give birth to various health complications, proving to be fatal as well, at times, due to the delayed diagnosis, which consequently paves the way for preventive body checkups at a point. Assisting in the early detection of medical symptoms is the primary purpose of proactive VF&T’s body temperature monitoring system. It is not the prevention of disease, but the simple alerting system before any disease started affecting the body and save unwanted connects at a right time.

Sample dashboard at the Organizational Level

A portion of these essential workers will continue to report to their jobs at health care facilities and other work sites, it’s not just the total number of jobs that matters, but a better understanding of who these workers are and the risks they face. Since many of these workers risk their lives to protect ours, the nation and corporates have a responsibility to protect the health and financial stability of these individuals and their families. We propose a two-part federal policy response, to be carried out over a defined period, to fulfill this responsibility.
