Case Study: Large Cruise Line Company resumes operations and screens 1,080 people/hr with Altoros' AI-driven fever-screening solution

A Cruise Line Resumes Operation During COVID-19 with AI-Driven Fever Screening

A Cruise Line engaged Altoros to enable early detection of COVID‑19 on board and to safely resume operations. Facing mandatory temperature checks at high‑traffic areas, the customer needed a scalable, fast, and accurate screening approach to avoid long boarding delays, reduce infection risk from manual checks, and address severe revenue losses (over $16 million daily).

Altoros delivered a turnkey AI‑driven temperature screening system—interconnected thermal cameras, cloud storage, a web dashboard and mobile app—installed at checkpoints across the ship. Each camera measures up to 30 people simultaneously at 3 m, uses face‑recognition models (95% accuracy) to handle masked faces, filters out external heat sources, and enables route/contact tracing. The solution allowed mass screening of up to 1,080 people per hour, compliance with WHO safety recommendations, and helped the cruise line resume operations within weeks while mitigating the $16+ million daily losses.
