AA Metals, Inc. is one of the largest aluminum and stainless steel distributors in North America.

“I’ve been in IT for close to 30 years and have learned to look at new solutions critically,” said Nestor Rentas, Jr. senior IT administrator at AA Metals. “TAURI’s price point and features, make it an exceptional value. It’s high quality, incredibly stable, and durable. Like the other Glory Star’s tablets we use, it has exceeded my expectations.”

The Problem

Wanted a touch-free, highly accurate, quick, and private temperature check and messaging system in one tablet — to protect employees, customers, and maintain operations critical to our nation’s infrastructure in its Florida headquarters and warehouse.

The Solution

The tablet features include face detection, optional face recognition, and an HDMI output. Face detection differentiates a human face from other objects. Facial recognition detects when a person is not wearing a face mask and issues a reminder. The HDMI output allows results to be mirrored on a second screen, such as one located behind a reception or security desk, to keep human resources data private and secure.

TAURI is designed as both an immediate and long-term communications tool. It can share personalized messages or act as digital signage. When the organization no longer needs to scan temperatures, that feature can be deactivated while the message feature can continue to be an integral component for welcoming guests into the building or for advertising. The result is greater long-term ROI.

“Like many businesses around the world, AA Metals is being launched into an uncharted territory facing the pressing need of establishing new set of safety protocols,” said Cindy Cheung, chief commercial officer of Glory Star. “TAURI helps to lessen the burden and anxiety that COVID-19 has created with worry-free, streamlined temperature checks while empowering companies with a solution that will benefit them years from now.”
