Here are 11 Slovakian firms that are adapting their solutions to the fight against Covid-19.

AKULAR

The producers of this Augmented Reality application for architects, engineers and construction have come up with two initiatives that are available globally during the crisis:

• Virtual walk-throughs in video calls: free support for developers and leasing managers who have unoccupied empty spaces and cannot host site visits. They can now join site visits remotely during their calls with Augmented Reality
• Free support on construction sites: AKULAR made its premium service free, including support for field staff by dialling in to their calls and helping to geo-locate real size 3D models for remote visual inspections

Innovatrics

Provider of biometric solutions based on fingerprints and face recognition, Innovatrics, has seen a huge increase in demand for its contactless technologies.

• Innovatrics has tested its facial recognition algorithms with people wearing masks, and even in this set-up they have proved to work without a decrease in accuracy, security and comfort of users.
• Its access control solution can now measure temperature of the visitors, check whether they are wearing masks and even identify them with their masks on.
• Innovatrics started to enable remote installations of its solutions even in off-line areas with restricted high-security access. Solutions of Innovatrics can thus be mailed anywhere in the world and installed remotely via “Innovatrics Virtual Engineer”.
• In a joint effort with global navigation player Sygic, Innovatrics has developed an app for smart quarantining at home. The app checks the presence of people at home based on the same technology that is used for the banks when they enrol new clients remotely and need to verify their identity reliably.

SAMO Europe

The provider of advanced neuromarketing methods and proprietary solutions has developed a device called QEHeC – Quick Entry Health Check System. The QEHeC is managed by a smart unit, that can analyse factors of environment and its impact on body temperature, giving context to temperature readings. The system can measure emotions, age and sex, which can be done while measuring body temperature. Analysed data shows the ’emotional index’ of an area. The QEHeC has an automatically adjustable stander that adjusts its position according to height of each measured person. The device has a smart aromatization and disinfecting unit that starts emitting when it detects a person with a higher temperature.

Sensoneo has developed Waste Collection Efficiency Analysis to help cities and waste collection companies to cope with the worsening waste situation. The service evaluates efficiency of the current set-up, simulates and models impacts of eventual changes and suggests new collection routes and frequencies.
