HomeProductsTime & Attendance ControlTemperature Measurement Readers
The access and presence control by temperature measurement reader is a high-speed device ideal for controlling the temperature at the access of workers or people in a space. It incorporates the most advanced German temperature sensor on the market. No blackbody required. Allows detection of people with and without masks, increasing safety.

What are temperature measurement readers and how do they work?

Temperature measurement readers are devices that integrate high-precision sensors, usually based on infrared technology, to measure body temperature without physical contact. This feature allows for safe and rapid measurements in environments with high foot traffic, reducing the risk of human error and improving health and access control processes. The most advanced models combine these thermal measurements with biometrics (facial recognition, palm recognition) or RFID systems to provide complete, automated access control. These readers detect the infrared radiation emitted by the skin and convert it into temperature data with very tight margins of error (up to ±0.3°C in some models).

When and why install a temperature reader?

Critical applications
  • Facilities with high foot traffic: offices, factories, educational centers, and hospitals.
  • Integration with physical access control or time and attendance systems. Qualicard
  • Processes where health reliability is a priority (prevention of contagion or risk control).
The devices benefit from configurations that avoid strong backlighting or other physical interference that could affect camera recognition.

Facial + palm + temperature access control

We have included in our catalog access control and time control terminals by facial recognition and/or palm of the hand with temperature measurement (+/-0.3º). Indispensable if we want to protect our staff and avoid stopping production due to a possible contagion. An important condition to be able to use these time clocks is that they cannot be installed in front of a strong light source (sun, spotlights) because the recognition by means of a camera affects the "backlight". These devices will give us a plus of security in the current situation. Although its cost is somewhat higher than one that does not have temperature detection, much higher is the cost of having to stop the production of our entire company, so it is quickly amortized. As a time clock it will guarantee that the person who performs the clocking is the one who should do it and saves us the cost of having to purchase cards, so it can be a more economical system than with strip or proximity cards. This equipment allows us to open doors, or activate any electronic device, such as automatic doors, turnstiles, barriers, etc... when an authorized person signs in, either by facial recognition, fingerprint, card (optional) or code + pin. They have an auxiliary relay that can be connected to a siren and that provides an acoustic warning in case of detection of abnormal temperature.

Temperature access control for companies

If the installation is carried out in companies, it can also be used to know who is inside the facilities in case of emergency, allowing also to elaborate reports with the times worked by the employees. The use of biometric means for personnel control is perfectly legal and does not entail any problem with regard to the RGPD, being implemented in hundreds of companies and public agencies in our country.

How to choose a suitable temperature reader

Selecting the right temperature reader depends on several technical and operational factors that must be considered based on the environment and control objectives. The main criteria for making an informed decision are detailed below:

1. Sensor accuracy and tolerances

Sensor accuracy is critical in environments where the reliability of thermal measurement has health or legal implications. It is advisable to choose devices with an error tolerance of ±0.3°C or less, especially if they are integrated into access control processes with temperature measurement.

2. Integration with access control systems

It is essential that the reader can be easily integrated with the existing access control system, whether through standard protocols, relays, SDKs, or APIs. Interoperability with RFID systems, facial biometrics, and MIFARE cards is a key advantage.

3. Measurement speed and traffic capacity

In facilities with high foot traffic, facial recognition and temperature measurement speed must be less than 1 second per user. Some models allow up to 30 people to be scanned per minute without physical contact.

4. Compatibility with attendance management software

To automate attendance control, many readers allow synchronization with time management or work control platforms. Make sure the device is compatible with the clocking software you use in your organization or that it includes its own management platform.

5. Physical installation requirements

The installation environment directly affects the reliability of the device. It is important to consider ambient lighting, the reading distance recommended by the manufacturer, and to avoid direct light sources or reflections that may interfere with the camera or thermal sensor.
