BACKGROUND
Background
In an effort to ensure the safety of our staff and citizens, Guilford County began searching for viable solution for automated temperature measurement systems. Currently, many of our County buildings handle temperature measurements using hand-held thermometers and require a qualified County staff member dedicated to measuring temperature for all visitors / staff members entering those buildings. While this has been effective in ensuring that no one with a high temperature is allowed to enter those facilities, it takes resources away from critical operations and it creates potential exposure since social distancing is not possible. Additionally, this method is not scalable across all potential county buildings.
In partnership with Dell technologies, IntelliSite offers fully automated Human Based body temperature detection system using Artificial Intelligence and advanced thermal cameras together with their Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered software platform. IntelliSite has been in business for over twenty (20) years building industrial automated Video systems based on AI.
Cumberland Group, a Dell Titanium partner and reseller of IntelliSite solution worked with County staff to visit the six (6) locations to provide us with a comprehensive proposal. Our request is to invest in this automated temperature monitoring system to be installed at these six (6) County locations (Block diagram with locations attached) in this first phase.
Key benefits to Guilford County by Implementation of the proposed IntelliSite Thermal vision solution include:
- Optimization of staff utilization in other critical areas by elimination of need to be used as screeners, saving time and money
- Scalability across all County buildings by simply adding additional Cameras
- Minimizing and/or eliminating potential exposure by keeping staff and Citizens safe
- Help in speeding up the process of people entering our buildings by not having to stand in line especially in high traffic areas.
- Reducing false positives by accurate and fast body temperature measurement.
- Secured monitoring from virtually anywhere
- Discreet and non-intrusive
- 24 X 7 X 365 day support from IntelliSite's Network Operations Center located in USA
The total price of the project is $418,944.51, plus applicable sales tax. This price includes installation of 21 camera systems in six (6) county locations, Dell GPU server, configuration and training.
