Businesses everywhere are anxious to get back to work.

As this happens, enterprises are adding the layer of monitoring body temperatures of anyone entering the work facility. Doing so offers a critical first line of defense to minimize health risks to staff.

Think about this from a practical, use-case perspective. How does this happen?

Real-time, AI-based video analytics enable thermal or infrared (IR) cameras at entry points of facilities to screen body temperatures and generate alerts when they register high levels—alerting you to assess that person and ensure they’re not posing a risk to others.

See how edge computing is used to identify elevated body temperatures of individuals as an indicator of potential unsuitability for work:

Here’s how it works

Real-time, AI-based video analytics enable thermal or infrared (IR) cameras at entry points of facilities to screen body temperatures and generate alerts when they register high levels—alerting you to assess that person and ensure they’re not posing a risk to others.

IBM Edge Application Manager places analytical workloads with edge-enabled cameras and the system sends the results to the IBM Maximo Worker Insights platform.

The resilience and privacy are built into the detection process. It doesn’t share personal identification data, and there are no transmission or processing costs.

Innovations like these will help you protect your workers and customers and the healthy growth of your business.

The advantages and disadvantages of private cloud 

6 min read - The popularity of private cloud is growing, primarily driven by the need for greater data security. Across industries like education, retail and government, organizations are choosing private cloud settings to conduct business use cases involving workloads with sensitive information and to comply with data privacy and compliance needs. In a report from Technavio (link resides outside ibm.com), the private cloud services market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 26.71% between 2023 and 2028, and it is forecast to increase by…

Optimize observability with IBM Cloud Logs to help improve infrastructure and app performance

5 min read - There is a dilemma facing infrastructure and app performance—as workloads generate an expanding amount of observability data, it puts increased pressure on collection tool abilities to process it all. The resulting data stress becomes expensive to manage and makes it harder to obtain actionable insights from the data itself, making it harder to have fast, effective, and cost-efficient performance management. A recent IDC study found that 57% of large enterprises are either collecting too much or too little observability data.…
