Seek Thermal, a provider of affordable, high-performance thermal imaging products, announces the introduction of Seek ScanTM, a simple, low-cost thermal imaging system designed to automate body temperature screening using skin temperature as a proxy. Seek Scan is specifically designed and calibrated to deliver accurate skin temperature measurements while enabling social distancing protocols.
In seconds, the system automatically detects a face, identifies the most reliable facial features for measurement and displays an alert if someone is warmer than the customisable alarm temperature. Seek Scan can be installed in lobbies, hallways and other key access points to help businesses, institutions and venues create a safer environment for their workforce, customers, members and patrons.

The system is easy to use and can be running in minutes with no special equipment or training. Seek Scan adds to the company's portfolio of life-saving products, such as Seek FirePRO, the affordable personal thermal imaging camera made to equip every firefighter. Thermal imaging technology has been used globally for years as a fast, non-invasive way to measure skin temperature.
The founders of Seek Thermal have been developing and improving thermal imaging technology for the last four decades. Since its inception, the company has shipped hundreds of thousands of low-cost thermal cameras worldwide.

"We are excited to bring our experience in affordable thermal imaging technology to communities around the globe by providing a simple screening solution to help make us safer," says Mike Muench, President & CEO of Seek Thermal. "Seek Scan is already being used in our factory and we believe it's a valuable screening tool for organisations that remain operational and others as they reopen in the coming months."
Seek Scan utilises infrared thermal imaging technology, a temperature-controlled heat source and Seek Scan software to accurately measure and screen for skin temperature. The Seek Scan process provides an additional layer of preventive screening and can deliver more peace of mind to businesses, institutions and participants.
