Italy may use new Kazakhstan-tested platform to track quarantine compliance

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Jun. 3

By Nargiz Sadikhova - Trend:

Municipalities in Italy are interested in using a platform for monitoring the compliance with safety rules during the COVID-19 quarantine period, that is being tested by Kazakh ICS Holding Qazaqstan, Kazakhtelecom JSC, CEO of ICS Holding Qazaqstan Daniyar Toychibekov told Trend.

The platform was initially developed by Russian Vizorlabs company.

ICS Holding Qazaqstan, in partnership with Kazakhtelecom JSC, tested the platform for video analytics with the ability to monitor compliance with safety measures and wearing personal protective equipment indoors during the quarantine period.

In addition to monitoring whether the person is wearing personal protective equipment, the detectors are also able to record the observance of a safe distance between people, presence in restricted areas and determine the human body temperature.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, the system helps to track violation of the recommended rules in medical institutions and other ventures, for example, in the service sector,” Toychibekov said.

He explained that the detectors recognize whether the wearing of personal protective equipment in institutions method is correct, determine the presence of people in restricted areas, the temperature of the person’s body and record the observance of social distance.

“The recognition of masks and gowns of various types is carried out with accuracy of 99 percent, of overalls of 97 percent, caps and gloves of 95 percent. Thus, the head of an organization can control the implementation of the recommended rules during quarantine, thereby reducing the risks of coronavirus spread,” Toychibekov said.

Toychibekov noted that the integration of the system is very simple.

“The platform itself runs on streaming video. This means that the detectors can be installed on absolutely any IP camera with a resolution of 720x489 and up,” he said.

In particular, Kazakhtelecom and ICS Holding Kazakhstan launched a pilot version of the project in their offices in two days. Kazakhtelecom provided developers with access to the video stream, to which two detectors were applied: for recognition of wearing masks and maintaining social distance.

Toychibekov also noted that Kazakhstan’s regional akimats (administrative centers) expressed interest in the platform as a measure to control quarantine compliance at the small and medium-sized businesses.

“At the moment, negotiations are underway with representatives of Italian municipalities, who plan to use an adapted version of the product to control whether masks are worn and social distance is maintained,” he said.

ICS Holding Qazaqstan was established in Sept. 2019 following official announcement by its parent company - Russian X-Holding. ICS Holding Qazaqstan is a joint venture with Kazakhstan’s CyberSystems and CyberGate companies.

X-Holding is a Russian multidisciplinary IT company, the main targets of which include investments, management and consolidation at the telecommunications market.
