Corona: Powersoft rolls out Covid-19-specific Deva e-training

Italian manufacturer Powersoft has committed to continue its online training drive with a pair of hour-long Deva webinars that will take place on Wednesday 15 April at 14:00 (CEST) and 18:00 (CEST). The sessions will be led by Powersoft’s Deva unit sales manager Cosimo Cecchi (similar Deva sessions will be organised every Wednesday at 2 pm and 6 pm CET in the coming weeks).

Cecchi will walk attendees through all of Deva’s features such as facial recognition, queue countering, and SOS and public warning messaging - all abilities that have proven the product to be useful in recent weeks, as the multimedia device proved important to help tackle the coronavirus pandemic in Italy.

Town and city councils such as Bergamo, Soresina in Lombardia (northern Italy), and Scandicci (Florence) originally installed Deva as their multimedia systems, allowing them to broadcast real-time audio streaming and messaging, video surveillance, or Wi-Fi relay to inform and protect tourists and residents. Despite these uses, few could have expected that the Deva systems would be pressed into service in such dire circumstances only a few months later.

With social distancing becoming an integral part of our day-to-day life, Deva - a completely self-sufficient, wireless, and remotely programmable system - has been primarily repurposed as a health & safety and emergency device. It is now predominantly used to send messages of support to citizens and deliver information about measures that could help to limit the spread of the disease, as well as updating people about the new guidance from the government on the matter.

Deva also offers a series of functionalities that make it a safety device capable of identifying the number of people in an area while responding in real-time when the number of people goes beyond set limits. This can help authorities to prevent people from congregating by improving their response times.

A body temperature measurement system can be integrated within Deva’s capabilities to help security personnel screen employees or visitors. This ability to detect early symptoms makes Deva a tool for preventing transmission from infected people and screening others who may not know they have a fever.
