Description:

In 2019, the company started the state of the art analysis and study of UV LED technology for disinfection, with this area gaining special importance in the current pandemic scenario. It intends to develop a new business area associated with UV disinfection products, aiming to quickly put solutions on the market at competitive / affordable prices.
Thus, this project focuses on the creation of effective and competitive solutions for disinfecting spaces (example: industries, health, ambulances, passenger transport), whose objective will be to reduce the probability of contamination that can pass through surfaces, through the inactivation of viruses, namely the development and industrialization of mobile solutions (autonomous and non-autonomous) with the incorporation of light sources emitting UV radiation that can disinfect different types of areas.

A range of disinfection systems based on UV technology and consisting of:
Easily transportable system for applications in small spaces (eg ambulances, passenger vehicles);
System with autonomous movement (robot) for large spaces (eg hospitals, public spaces, offices and industrial spaces, air transport, trains).
