Sparsh Introduces Human Temperature Detection Solution

Amidst the outbreak of Covid-19, there is good news that Samriddhi Automations. Pvt. Ltd. (SPARSH) has launched a ‘Human Temperature Detection Solution’ for proactive detection of high temperatures which could help Indian health bodies to keep track of the people with high temperature during this outbreak and take necessary actions in order to control the spread. The solutions are capable of detecting and alerting temperatures above threshold levels by screening humans from distance which helps in preventing human to human proximity and thus spreading of Covid-19. They will help screening a larger population in public areas like airports, railways stations, metros, hospitals, bus stations, govt. buildings etc., which becomes almost impossible if given a chance to be done by person(s).  Look & go Solution Ideal to conduct screening safely and efficiently of those who may potentially be infected with flu. Body temperature of those infected is expected to be around 38~39°C while adult human normal temperature should be around 36°C. This camera can visualize such temperature difference instantly from safe distance for administrators to segregate those who may have been infected. How it Works Human Temperature Detecton Solution uses face detection technology and the infrared energy that a body emits, which is invisible to the human eye. The system constructs a heat map and calculates the temperature. One has to face the camera and stand still, allowing a clear view of the corners of the eyes — the tear ducts — where the skin temperature comes closest to that of the body’s core. When the system detects someone with temperature above threshold, an alarm is generated and the face of the person is stored along with temperature readings in records. This helps automate the screening process, helping in protection of human to human trasfer of virus. This is an Eye Tears Duct Pore temperature screening solution which is far more accurate than thermal cameras which are basically used for only body temprature measurement. This solution gives accurate reading – approximations are thus not very useful. Some of the world facts amid this outbreak: Italy’s entire population under quarantine measures. China’s Q1 growth seen at 4.5% – lowest since financial crisis -Reuters poll. Airlines expect a $113 billion drop in revenue this year. This pandemic in a way also brings an opportunity for India because it accelerates the de-risking of supply chains which originates from China. This opportunity exists only if we can control the outspread of this virus in India. Sparsh has also launched thermal based Human Body Temperature Detection Solution, but the accuracy of the Look and Go solution is by far accurate than the thermal based solution due to technology limitations as Thermal Cameras provide average temperature of human taken at different points on the body whereas in look and Go Solution, the temperature is detected from Eye Tear Duct Pore. The Government has given an advisory to keep regular check on body temperature.     Samriddhi Automations. Pvt. Ltd. established in 2006, is a pioneer and a leading player in manufacturing electronic video surveillance equipment in India with product presence in more than 250 cities. Its brand SPARSH has revolutionized the security market by being India’s first company to manufacture CCTV cameras in the country in the year 2008. At their state-of-the-art manufacturing unit at SIDCUL Industrial Area, Haridwar, their focus on indigenous design, development and manufacturing of technologically advanced Surveillance Equipment & Devices has put India on the international map.

Com-Sur Offers Free Ultima Software to Indian Police, Para Military & Defense Forces

COM-SUR has recently offered its highest version of ‘Ultima’ Software free of cost  to the entire Indian Police, Para Military, and Defense forces. In this line, they signed an MoU with the Indian Police Foundation (a policing think-tank). Com-Sur has made this offer as a national service towards nation building, and to boost Make in India campaign. COM-SUR hopes to bring the much-needed standardization and efficiency to these forces, thereby reducing their burden when working with surveillance videos, photos and images. Gautam D. Goradia, CEO and MD, COM-SUR elaborated, “Videos, photos and images are an integral part of policing across the world. With the proliferation of surveillance videos from diverse sources such as CCTV, body worn cameras, drones/ UAVs, mobile phones etc., there is a deluge of this medium of ‘information.’ Trillions of hours surveillance video is generated on a daily basis across the world. While such humongous amount of rich visual ‘information’ continues to grow, there is neither a standardized ‘workflow’ nor are there any standardized tools being used by policing/ law enforcement agencies to ensure that not only can this ‘information’ be efficiently converted into actionable intelligence; but that, it can also be stored smartly, and shared in a standardized manner. Therefore, there is a need for an easy to use and efficient tool to achieve the above objectives, as well as to ensure that all this big data is not wasted. Made in India COM-SUR is a force multiplier, a ‘workflow’ that allows users to carry out several activities with far reduced burden and standardization.” While the first deployment of COMSUR at a Police force in India was at the Puducherry Police command centre, its recent deployment has been done at the Telangana Police command centre, which is an initiative spearheaded by the Infosys Foundation. Several top ranking Police officials across India have appreciated COM-SUR. In its 6.5-year development and improvement journey, COM-SUR has won several awards, the recent one being the Made in India Software Product of the Year 2020 from the Fire and Security Association of India.

India’s Capital on Fire

Anil Puri, CMD APS Group A conspicuous spike in the number of fire incidents in Delhi-NCR over last two years sends a chill down the spine. It presents a very alarming and gloomy picture of unprecedented jump in unfortunate fatal fire instances in hotels, hospitals, furniture markets and factories. The memories of the gruesome tragedy of Uphar Cinema on 13 June 1997, and in recent time, the similar accident at Anaj Mandi in December 2019 tend to haunt the common man with unabated fires blazing in all segments of industry. The magnitude of the problem is just beyond the imagination. ROADMAP There are no straight jacket and quick fix solutions which can be offered on platter. The challenge has to be taken on war footing by the industry. Grant of no objection certificate (NoC) by the municipal authorities should be done with a professional approach and it should not be treated as a profit center. Similarly, industry should also not treat it as a cost center. Following measures, if implemented with sincerity and honesty, the purpose will well be accomplished by arresting the trend, and thus by saving the precious lives and properties: True compliance of National Building Code by builders. Grant of NoC only after honest inspections by multiple agencies including fire safety department Proper installation of adequate fire alarm, and fire detection and suppression systems. Inevitable installation of passive protective measures like fire curtains, fire walls and compartmentalizations. Periodic inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM) of all fire safety equipment installed in the buildings. Procurement of equipment to meet the requirements of fire departments of Delhi, Gurugram and Noida. Recruitment and staffing to meet the contingencies of fire departments of Delhi, Gurugram and Noida. Unfailed fire safety training of employees in industrial units across all segments. Regular and periodic fire safety awareness drive. Fire safety audits and surprise checks. Conduct of regular mock drills on building evacuation, operation of fire safety equipment and rescue operation. A thought leader and an action catalyzer rolled into one – Anil Puri is a rare combination of a visionary, and one who has mastered the art of strategic and tactical thinking to the core. He has been using this combination to seed new ideas and to lead them to their implementation on ground. This has been a consistent feature of his career. Here he expresses his concern about the fire incidents occurring in different segments of industry in NCR in last two years and suggests the roadmap for fire incident free environment.
