As global swine flu concerns continue or even increase in some countries, the Opgal Company in Carmiel has received an order to supply tens of its Fever Detection & Alarm (FDA) systems to the Far East.
 
Opgal is a leader in development of thermal imaging technology, using a system based on infra)-Red Thermal Imaging technology that can detect differences in body temperature smaller than 0.5C. One of the symptoms of swine flu is a body fever exceeding 38C (104F). The FDA system is capable of flagging people with elevated body temperatures that pass within its detection cameras.
