CovScan: Smart non-contact IR-Temperature scanning and online database system integrated with RFID authentication

Considering the public safety in current COVID-19 out-break, an IOT (Internet of Things) based non-contact temperature monitoring system integrated with RFID authentication system with an interactive Android application, and a web-portal to manage users and temperature records has been proposed. Temperature screening has become essential for all the industries, educational institutions, factories and corporate sector. This system is an online real-time non-contact monitoring system with an interactive android application and user-friendly web portal that help end-users to monitor and keep a record of temperature variations of registered users on daily/weekly/monthly basis. The temperature records are saved in a real-time database which is embedded with the user's RFID card information. In case of an alert (high temperature), a notification is sent to the authorized personnel on their cellphones or their desktop systems via web portal. An alarm is also generated immediately on the device (buzzer and blinking LEDs) to indicate high temperature, alerting the nearby security staff. As per the survey and testing of the device under different temperature environments it has been found that the proposed system has an overall accuracy of 99%.
