VigilantGantry | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

VigilantGantry is an AI-driven automated temperature screening gantry that augments existing thermal systems to enhance the rate of contatcless scanning, saving time and manpower. GovTech has developed self-help temperature scanners using existing contactless off-the-shelf battery-operated infrared thermometers and other materials. The thermometer is retrofitted with a motion-sensing camera and a power source to enable temperature scanning without human intervention. This system is being deployed to Government buildings and community facilities to support temperature screening operations there.
