RHB, Taisei deploy Canon handheld for quick, safe entry to buildings

RHB Singapore and Taisei are now using a mobile Handheld Integrated Temperature System (HITS) that Canon Singapore has launched to enable businesses and security services to facilitate contactless, fast, and easy temperature screening, with safe check-in/check-out of buildings.

HITS combines infrared thermography with a barcode scanner and comes with built-in memory to store visitors’ identity data. The integrated and mobile nature of HITS makes it useful in many settings with Taisei deploying HITS at two of its construction sites to facilitate efficient check-in and check-out of staff. 

Also, HITS has helped RHB Singapore to speed up the check-in and check-out process for customers in all its seven branches across Singapore and has minimised queuing during peak hours. 

“Having launched a stationary all-in-one check-in solution last year, we’ve gotten strong feedback from our customers to provide a mobile version to make safe entry check-ins much more flexible and efficient,” said Edwin Teoh, head of marketing for Singapore operations at Canon Singapore. “HITS ensures there is minimal disruption or inconvenience for visitors to such areas while complying with safe entry regulations.”

One of the challenges to ensuring a quick and seamless digital check-in process is the need to use separate devices such as a temperature screener and a barcode scanner to obtain visitors’ temperature and identity details. 

For motorists entering a car park or condominium, it is also an inconvenience to step out of the vehicle to check in at the location as most places are using a printed QR code that is pasted on a wall near the entry gantry. Some places have resorted to having security guards hold up a printed QR code for motorists and passengers to scan. 

By using HITS, the necessary check-in protocol and temperature screening can be executed with a single device and is streamlined. HITS also eliminates the need to have a power socket nearby as it does not require a constant supply of power to work.

Having the mobility is useful as more individuals who wish to enter the premise can be checked by the staff instantly, effectively reducing the waiting time and queues for safe entry protocols.
