Macnica (hereinafter President to as Macnica), a total service/solution provider in semiconductors, networks Kazumasa Hara cybersecurity, and AI/IoT (94 million yen) ALTIMA Company announced that it used IEI 's AI body surface temperature detection solution at the 75th National Athletic Meet Kanto Block Tournament ice hockey competition hosted by Kanagawa Prefecture. To do.

According to the WHO, COVID-19 (COVID-19) affected 72.8 million people worldwide as of December 15 and is still raging around the world.
Japan in Japan, although the nationwide state of emergency has been lifted by the government, rapid changes in the social structure, such as new lifestyles, are required amid the infection situation that varies from region to region. Similarly, in all sports management situations around the world, the issue is how to implement appropriate infectious disease countermeasures and smoothly manage competitions safely and securely.

The IEI AI body surface temperature solution used at the competition uses AI and infrared thermography to instantly detect suspected fever (error of ±0.3 degrees) even when wearing a hat and mask. can do. By recognizing the human face and making measurements, the possibility of false detection is reduced, and at the same time, detection is possible in less than one second. Since it can detect the body surface temperature of up to 30 people at the same time and leave a log at the time of detection, it is an ideal solution for large-scale venue events and sports management.
Although the 75th National Athletic Meet Kanto Block Tournament ice hockey competition was held without spectators, players were able to focus more on the competition by not having to stop and ask the players to measure themselves before the game. The players praised us for being able to attend.
In addition, Kanagawa Prefecture, which actually operated the event, said, "We were able to measure the athletes' temperatures more smoothly than we expected. When running the competition, we struggled to find a way to keep the athletes focused on the competition without causing stress. I think it was the best solution out of all the solutions we had been working on. We also appreciate the fact that it can be installed and operated with a minimum number of people.”

【feature】
As a countermeasure against the COVID-19, it is a solution that allows you to easily introduce body temperature detection using a thermal camera and a panel PC. Using the AI algorithm for face detection, after detecting a person, it is possible to check the result on the panel PC after body temperature detection. Appropriate temperature measurement is possible even with a mask on, with an error of ±0.3°C and no false detection of hot objects (e.g. coffee). In the camera image, you can also set the target area where you want to detect people, and an alert will sound if the body temperature exceeds the threshold. In addition, the detected body temperature is recorded and saved including the time and face photo. This product can detect up to 30 people at the same time.

We would like to express our deepest sympathies to those affected by COVID-19 their families, and everyone involved. We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone working hard every day to prevent the spread of infection, including people at medical institutions and government agencies. Macnica is committed to continuously contributing to society by providing solutions that use technology to solve social issues.
