Protecting the Health of Essential Workers With Thermal Cameras

How the major grocery chain, Harris Teeter, responded to the challenges of 2020

Introducing Harris Teeter, a subsidiary of Kroger

The regional food and pharmacy retailer remained opened throughout the pandemic, operating

230 stores and 14 fuel centers with 30,000 associates.

A quick pivot with a lasting impact

Putting the health of its employees first has always been a priority for Harris Teeter. But to combat the unexpected risks of COVID-19, the company needed additional support.

Masks + social distancing + thermal cameras + Insight Digital Innovation

Maintaining a safe, efficient environment

Having to manually scan employees = Slow, costly and subject to human error

Having smart cameras scan employees = Fast, effective and accurate

Our team recommended Bolide^® Access Control cameras with the Insight Connected Platform™ Internet of Things (IoT) framework.

Quickly detects temperatures
Provides discreet alerts
Eliminates the costs of manual scans
Ensures real-time responses
Helps detect and prevent the spread of illness

Overwhelmingly positive results

Secure, reliable data improved confidence among employees in the workplace.

By January 2021, 9 cameras and 3 edge devices had been installed, resulting in:

42,000+ accurate scans to date
121 scans per day on average
64 elevated temperatures detected
$195K immediate return on investment
A flexible IoT foundation for future use cases

New opportunities await

“This process provided the safety for our associates working in diﬀerent facilities throughout the company. All four sites are currently utilizing the solution with no issues.” — David Pardue, VP of Asset Protection and Risk Management, Harris Teeter

Today, Harris Teeter is well-positioned to rapidly modernize operations and better serve both customers and associates in the coming years. Leaders are now exploring ways to extend their IoT capabilities in stores, using real-time notifications from freezers to prevent potential food loss.
