As the pandemic continues to affects the world, the demand for the usage of a device that comprises of a temperature scanner that can be delivered without contact has surged. The predominant intention of this project is to create and assemble a non-contact temperature scanner that can be used throughout our daily life. In order for this to become operational, the system utilizes the Arduino Uno as the main processor. Since the Arduino Uno is the core of the whole system, it also governs the proximity sensor, along with the temperature sensor, an OLED display, a Piezo Buzzer and an SD memory card. When the switch of the system has been activated, the proximity sensor will be triggered when the user is in front of the system. The range for the proximity sensor remains at 10-20 centimeters for it to be able to detect the user. The proximity sensor authorizes the ability to ensure that the temperature can be taken without having to be in physical contact with the user. Once the proximity sensor has been triggered, the temperature sensor will capture the user's body temperature by showcasing the temperature on the OLED display in both Celsius and in Fahrenheit. The temperature sensor has a measurement range of -40C(-40F) to 85C(185F). Simultaneously, the Arduino Uno will compare the user's temperature that was seized with the set temperature (100.4F). If the temperature that was captured from the user ended up being higher than the set temperature, the Piezo Buzzer will issue a beeping sound to indicate a warning that the user may potentially have a fever. Concurrently, the Arduino Uno will document every iota of temperature data from every user that came within the target range needed to activate the proximity sensor for 24 hours. Furthermore, the data of the users' temperature will then be stored. Just like any project assigned, there's always room for improvement. For example, the size of the product could be reduced to the point where the price of the product can be driven down and that will also make it more portable. A challenge that we have encountered during the process of making the non-contact temperature scanner was to ensure that all of the blocks were working synchronously. Likewise, another hurdle that posed as a conundrum was the ability to use Fusion 360. Creating the schematic and PCB in Fusion 360 was a lot more difficult than anticipated due to the complexity of the program and how it caused the speed of our computers to run very slowly. The usage of the 3D modeling technology added more complication to the overall process as well. Additionally, by making the device more portable will make the overall product more convenient and easier to have it stockpiled. Another noteworthy thing that is worth mentioning since we are in a pandemic, a smaller product would be simpler to sanitize which will provide less time to wipe down each temperature scanner by making the process more rapid. In terms of the completed product, the design and usage of a handle will help boost efficiency by making it more transportable and by providing the ability to capture heights from all of the varying users.
