Today, in the middle of the second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic, the mainstream media are starting to advocate for the use of UV light and UV robots to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, as well as other contagious viruses and bacteria, in public places.
According to a new report by CNBC, “UV light solutions can help to prevent the spread of the virus and technological breakthroughs could see UV light become a key piece to returning to normal in the world with a looming COVID-19 threat.”
We at Aitheon couldn’t agree more, and we have been advocating for the use of UV light as the most effective solution against COVID-19 right from the beginning of this pandemic. As well as doing our part to stop it. In fact, Aitheon Disinfection Robots, Yezhik and Laska, were built with this goal exactly: as the most technologically advanced UV disinfection solution available today and able to operate in all kinds of environments preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
Using autonomous robots equipped with UV lamps instead of static UV lamps actually plays the key role here, and here’s why. UV lamps applied by humans have shown considerably worse results when it comes to the effectiveness of disinfection. Multiple factors are contributing to this, such as the need to move lamps around to cover all surfaces, their limited range, the human factor (people can forget to switch them on), and so on.
Robots, on the other hand, are a perfect solution to minimize all the disadvantages of UV light for disinfection while maximizing its positive effect. For example, Aitheon Disinfection Robots can disinfect buildings completely autonomously, while also making sure the process is 100% safe for humans and animals around (our robots can detect living beings and pause the disinfection process if they are in UV light range). This is why, for various kinds of industries, using UV disinfection robots is a lot more effective, and this solution is in demand by hospitals, clinics, manufacturing, and warehousing facilities. Other industries such as tourism, hospitality, and transportation sectors are starting to adopt this technology on a wider scale as well.
One of the core problems regarding the UV disinfection robots early in 2020, when the global demand for anti-virus solutions has spiked, were relatively high prices. The absence of affordable UV robots made such solutions too expensive for small and medium-sized businesses.
By taking a different approach to the manufacturing of Aitheon Disinfection Robots we were able to dramatically reduce the end-price of our robotic solutions. As a result, today Aitheon is able to offer affordable fully autonomous UV Disinfection Robots.
