1. An access control system for managing access to a secured area, comprising:
an identification unit, including:
an infrared (IR) transmitter configured to transmit IR radiation to one or more body parts of a user;
an IR detector configured to receive reflected IR radiation from the one or more body parts of the user;
one or more signal processing components to determine a temperature reading of the user based on the received reflected IR radiation;
a sanitization unit configured to sanitize hands of the user when the hands are placed in a palm placement area;
an identification device to receive identification information of the user; and a processor configured to:
receive the temperature reading of the user;
determine whether the temperature reading of the user is below a threshold temperature or the temperature reading of the user is within a temperature range;
instruct a door lock controller to unlock a door in a locked state to provide access to the secured area when the temperature reading of the user is below the threshold temperature or the temperature reading of the user is within the temperature range;
instruct a door lock controller to keep the door in the locked state to deny access to the secured area when the temperature reading of the user is above the threshold temperature or the temperature reading of the user is outside the temperature range; and
send an alert including identification information of the user to one or more network devices when the temperature reading of the user is above the threshold temperature or the temperature reading of the user is outside the temperature range.
