A BUSINESSMAN from Higher Walton is helping companies to protect their workforce following the coronavirus outbreak.

Edward Blackburn, managing director of Technical Display Ltd, has pioneered temperature monitoring units which will accurately monitor the temperature and identify the name of every single person entering a workplace in less than a second.

As one of the main symptoms of Covid-19 is elevated body temperature, Technical Display’s ProtecKam system can instantly tell if an employee entering the premises has a temperature.

That person can then return home and isolate to protect their families and those around them.

Edward said: "Temperature screening is currently being tested across the country, including Heathrow.

"We are seeing a demand from future-thinking companies who are taking all the mitigating actions possible to reduce transmission risk between employees.

"The instant, accurate alerts and contactless ProtecKam technology is the perfect complement to the measures that companies are taking.

"Our business has been using innovation to propel businesses forward for 25 years, and we are looking forward to helping companies through the current crisis."
