What You Need to Know about UV robots and their Safety Features
                     What You Need to Know about UV robots and their Safety Features?
As everyone around the world begins to prepare for the “new normal” following the COVID-19
pandemic,  there  are  lots  of  changes  that  need to be implemented.  The challenge to  keep
healthcare workers and other people healthy and safe could lead to the increased demand for
sanitization and disinfection.
To meet this increased demand for regular and consistent cleaning, one particular technology
i.e. UVC light and UVC robots has been gathering attention. 
UVC has  been around for  a  long time and scientists have known the power of  UVC to kill
Bacteria and Viruses reducing the spread of harmful microorganisms. Ultraviolet-C light has the
ability to kill a virus in seconds in a highly protected environment, with no harm to humans.
Most companies and businesses are now considering the use of UV Disinfection Robots to not
only ensure buildings are cleaned and sanitized effectively but also to maintain health  and
safety amongst both staff and customers.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, mobile robots are so much in demand right now and expect
the overall mobile robotics market to grow to $23 billion by 2025, as per “ABI Research” firm.
These mobile robotic systems move in to disinfect surfaces and buildings, provide surveillance,
material  handling,  and  help  with  deliveries.  As  time  passes,  these  UV  robots  will  be
mainstreamed across a range of applications and markets.
Understanding the Uses of Mobile Robots
1. Automating Disinfection – Most popular use of UV robots is to deploy autonomous mobile
systems to disinfect facilities.  The UV disinfection (UVD) robots use UV light to kill  harmful
microorganisms by breaking down the DNA structure in bacteria and viruses. 
These robots move autonomously to cover all contaminated surfaces and expose UV-C light to
kill  viruses and bacteria.  For safety reasons,  the robot  works on its  own and automatically
unlocks the UV-C light if someone enters the room, and could be one of the major bright spots
in the response to COVID-19.
2. Speedy Delivery - Autonomous robots are becoming more useful in hospitals, retail stores,
hotels, airports, and other public spaces where they can be used to deliver supplies on time.
The  COVID-19  pandemic  creates  a  need  to  use  mobile  robots  for  the  safe  and  speedy
distribution of hospital equipment in quarantine zones, patient rooms, and operation theaters. 
3.  Chemical-free Disinfection – These mobile  robots  use dry,  chemical-free,  green cleaning
methods  that  are  environmentally  friendly.  They  help  to  protect  the  public  and  private
organizations across industries and ensure their working environment is safe.
UV Disinfection Robot Safety Features
 UVC Robots are extremely safe to use and many businesses including Warehouses,
Gyms, Café and Restaurants, Care Homes, Hospitals, Transportation, and Hospitality
are  employing  their  services.  The Robots  depending  on the technology  type  are
equipped with motion sensors  and can distinguish between humans and objects
which further prevent damage to human health. 
 Most of the UV Robots available in the market will also give extensive reports on
cleaning progress. These flexibly designed disinfection reports help greatly reduce
time. 
 These robots have safety buttons that will immediately disengage the UV-C light if
someone enters the room, disrupting the robot's use and disinfection. Some robots
are  also  equipped  with  voice  alarms  which  will  inform  you  when  cleaning  is  in
progress within certain designated areas.
 Most UV Robots will charge within 3-4 hours, while some robots have a maximum
disinfection area without charging. 
 Most Robots will operate in semiautomatic mode eliminating human error.
 These  robots  will  also  create  digital  maps,  perform  scheduled  disinfection
automatically, and can even map out un-sanitized areas.
At  SmartGuardUV,  we  believe  ultraviolet  light  technology  can  improve  safety,  not  just  in
hospitals,  but in warehouses and other public spaces as well.  With the tremendous power,
these  robots  can  be  programmed  to  sterilize  different  positions  in  an  area  or  room,
autonomously rotate and pulse to maximize UV coverage.
SmartGuardUV recommends you to clean and sanitize your floors with SmartGuradUV Robot,
the fully autonomous robot.
