Necessity, according to the proverb, is the mother of invention. And while it may be an overstatement to say that COVID-19 created the need for temperature detection kiosks, it certainly fostered the fastest demand for temperature detection in combination with biometric identity verification as organizations scramble for ways to protect guests and employees from airborne pathogens and bacteria.
