OARO Officially Becomes a Security Solutions Provider to the Nuclear Industry with ARC Clean Energy Contract
- Written by Newsfile
Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2021) - OARO is pleased to announce its first commercial contract with ARC Clean Energy Canada Inc. (ARC Canada), a leader in advanced small modular reactor (SMR) technology development with headquarters in Saint John, New Brunswick. This commercial agreement represents OARO's official entry into the Nuclear sector as a digital security solutions provider.
ARC Canada will be implementing OARO ACCESS with Elevated Skin Temperature (EST) Screening to enhance workplace safety and security in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This solution will control physical access to ARC Canada's Head Office, using facial recognition and elevated skin temperature screening-all combined into a single camera. It will enable ARC Canada employees and partners to onboard themselves remotely and create a Digital Identity. Authorized individuals will be able to simply walk up to a secured door and have it unlocked automatically, using OARO's proprietary facial recognition authentication.
Simultaneously, the Elevated Skin Temperature sensor will deny access to any authorized individual attempting to enter the monitored area if they have a high temperature, keeping the workplace environment safe for their fellow employees. Elevated skin temperature can be an indicator of a fever, a commonly reported symptom of COVID-19. In 2020, OARO was selected by the Canadian Air Transport Security Agency (CATSA) to provide Elevated Skin Temperature screening systems for Canada's 15 largest airports.
"OARO has demonstrated that they adhere to the high standards of the Canadian nuclear industry," said ARC Canada Chief Executive Officer, Norman JD Sawyer. "ARC Canada's technical team conducted a thorough examination of best practices for access control and OARO's solution demonstrated the ability to monitor security, health and safety."
