At sites in North America, employees had to get their body temperatures screened before they could enter the work site. This posed a slight problem, since it also meant that they had to break the one-and-a-half-meter social distance protocol. Enter Raffi Krikorian, Facilities Head in Irvine, United States. He developed an original design that attached a thermometer to a tripod and used velcro fastener to secure the trigger. In Rocky Hill, Phillippe Huber, Product Development Equipment Engineer, added a foot pedal to optimize functionality and worked to outfit all offices in the state of Connecticut with functional test rigs.
Because of their quick, creative and solution-oriented thinking, this screening method developed by Adhesive Technologies employees was also used by their colleagues from Beauty Care and Laundry & Home Care at the Stamford, Trumbull and Darien sites.
