HealthGate

Cotton On recently introduced new health screening technology at its Avalon, Victoria distribution centre in Australia.

A fever detection kiosk, which goes by the name of HealthGate, has been operating at its 35,000 sqm facility since the start of 2021.

Cotton On CFO Michael Hardwick comments: "During the height of the pandemic, we were looking for health screening technology that would allow us to continue to protect our people and operations.”

"HealthGate is a great solution for our national distribution centre at Avalon, Victoria where we have 300 to 400 team members coming through each day.”

"HealthGate has already saved us considerable time, but it has also given us and our team great peace of mind, which is priceless," adds Cotton On Head of Central Operations Barnaby Gray.

"We know that anyone within the facility has been checked – and, most importantly, safe – and it’s all been done without being invasive or time consuming.”
