IoT Based Temperature Scanning Entry System

Abstract

We propose a low-cost internet of things (IoT)-enabled COVID-19 standard operating procedure (SOP) compliance system that counts the number of people entering and leaving a vicinity, ensures physical distancing, monitors body temperature and warns attendees and managers of violations. The system comprises of multiple sensor nodes communicating with a centralized server. The data stored on the server can be used for compliance auditing, realtime monitoring, and planning purposes. The system does not record the personal information of attendees nor provide contact tracing information.
