My first idea is to use Infrared Thermal array sensor like MLX90640 with powerful MCU.  But my DHL order is stuck and on hold on the way. Meanwhile waiting the main parts, I like to start the project V.1 with inhand parts.

The system design of V.1 is simple.

Working Principals 

When a target under test is closed to measurement range, ( measured with IR reflection sensor) temperature is measured and displays automatically

If temperature is normal, Green LED will light on with a buzzer single beep, if not  Warning Yellow or Red LED will be flashed depends on temperature and buzzer will beep noticeable tone.
