Brantford, Ontario – A Brantford, Ontario-based tech company and their innovative AI-based facial recognition software are helping to keep the Canadian auto industry rolling through the pandemic with the implementation of Janus into local auto dealerships.
Designed by Solutions Into Motion, Janus functions similarly to the scanning devices used in airports and utilizes a built-in thermal camera that is capable of detecting abnormal body temperatures and can also verify as to whether or not the individual is wearing a face mask, based on facial recognition technology.
“Janus is very customizable, making it perfect for automotive dealer environments and needs,” said Vince Poloniato, president at Solutions Into Motion.
“Currently we have Janus configured to serve the needs of most public venues, right out of the box. However, our next phase with this technology is to better leverage the data it can collect and integrate with external systems, such as reservations systems, access controls and more.”
People are already jumping on board with Janus, including one Chevrolet dealership in Caledonia, Ontario that is using the software to help get through its day-to-day.
“OEMs are now mandating more and more, that us dealers invest in or find solutions to this public health crisis, so we can continue doing business as usual,” said Mark Searles, GM at Searles Chevrolet.
“Currently we are already checking temperatures, but this new Janus unit takes away the need for us to waste human resources on this necessary step. We believe that this technology will act as peace of mind for both our staff and customers that our dealership is doing the right things to be safe.”
