Demand for TECHNO-AS thermal imaging cameras increased manifold during the pandemic

Scientific and production company for the development, production and sale of control and measuring devices "TECHNO-AS" records an increase in the demand for thermal imaging cameras and infrared thermometers during the pandemic of coronavirus infection. Thermal imaging cameras of this kind can quickly and accurately measure a person's temperature without contact.

"Before we used to get one request for a thermal imaging camera a day but now we get around a hundred. We are approached by all kinds of institutions: airports, enterprises", - Victor Vasiliev, deputy commercial director of the company "ТЕХНО-АС" told in his interview to the newspaper "Izvestia". According to him, until recently medical thermal imagers were not in high demand, accounting for less than 1% of all existing devices for remote measurement of temperature, and to meet the surge in orders the company will need to strengthen its production capacity by more than 100 times.

Techno-AS produces high-temperature pyrometers (non-contact IR thermometers) of more than 20 types: "KM2-Termix" and "KM2-TermixK" with dual laser designator, pyrometers C-20.1 and C-20.4,pyrometers with two-wire connection Optris CS laser, Optris CS micro 2W, Optris CSm hs and others. Thermal imager consists of optical unit with module and video camera, software and automated working place of operator. Thanks to it, it is possible to determine remotely and with high accuracy in less than a second the presence of elevated temperature of the human body. In case the device detects a temperature exceeding the norm, its image is displayed on the operator's screen and accompanied by an alarm.

Development of thermal imaging cameras "ТЕХНО-АС" is carried out in conformity with all international requirements. The full production cycle is realized in the company starting from assembling electronic boards, manufacturing of metal parts of devices constructions and finishing with quality control of finished products. To offer high-quality devices on the market, specialists have developed a multi-level control system of output products, which excludes any defects. In addition, quality control is carried out due to the concept of lean manufacturing. TECHNO-AS devices are certified for use not only in Russia, but also in all countries of the Customs Union EAEC.

As the epidemiological situation has improved, the Moscow government is gradually and in stages lifting the restrictions imposed in March and April due to the spread of coronavirus infection. As part of the first phase, industrial and construction enterprises resumed their work from May 12. Since June 1, non-food shops and organizations providing various services have opened. On June 16, the summer porches started operating in the city. However, despite the removal of restrictions, businesses and individual entrepreneurs need to comply with the requirements set by the decree of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin dated May 7, 2020. Among other measures, employers are required to ensure that employees wear masks or respirators at workplaces and on company premises, unless the work is carried out in an isolated room. Employees must also have their temperature taken at least once every four hours. Earlier, the State Property Inspectorate inspected the safety measures at more than 760 enterprises of the capital. According to the department, 94% of the enterprises observe the established requirements.
