What is TECHI UVC?
Covid-19
The TECHI UVC is one of Techmetics Robotics unique solutions, designed specifically to fight the COVID-19 outbreak. It is used for disinfecting rooms and high-touch surfaces automatically and effectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a new normal that is not only impacting our health and social lives, but is also disrupting businesses and economies globally. Other than respiratory droplets, COVID-19 can also be acquired through contact with surfaces contaminated with SARSCoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Studies* indicate that the virus can remain on surfaces from a timeframe of a few hours to multiple days, thus highlighting the risk of fomite-mediated transmission and the necessity of disinfecting the premises thoroughly.
Disinfection
Easy Installation
Safety
Individually validated UVC lamps deliver balanced and uniform high-output UVC flux to disinfect pathogens from surfaces.
With the seamless integration of our software, the robot can be operational in minimal time.
Safety lasers provide emergency stop function, PIR motion sensors can detect a human presence and shut the UV lamp down automatically .

While using traditional manual cleaning and disinfection practices, organizations face many challenges such as variation in the performance of individual housekeepers, inappropriate use & availability of disinfectants, access to desired manpower around the clock and the complicated disinfection requirements of high-touch areas. All these necessitate the need of augmenting the manual cleaning regime with UVC disinfection.
Eight UVC lamps placed in a circle provide full 360° coverage.
How UVC disinfection works? UVC light breakdowns the DNA and RNA chains of the cells of the micro-organisms beyond recovery. This disables the function of the cell and eventually kills it.

Although manual cleaning is still the mandatory process in many institutions, human error and fatigue could hinder the overall effectiveness, risking unnecessary transmission. Hence, it should be augmented with UVC disinfection to ensure complete elimination of pathogens across the premises including all high-touch areas such as tabletops, bedside tabletops, inner drawers, phones, armchairs, doors , cabinet handles, light switches, closet handles, etc.

Key Features
The robot is fully safety compliant. It comes equipped with lasers and PIR Motion Sensors to detect and navigate through obstacles in its path.
Effectiveness Capable of 360° disinfection of premises by killing 99.99 % of virus and bacteria on surfaces – both airborne and droplet – with the UVC technology. Quality of disinfection validated by UVC Dose Indicator - a safe and efficient tool calibrated to indicate color changes when exposed to UVC rays. The yellow indicator changes to orange and pink indicating the right level of accumulated dosage sufficient for killing the various categories of pathogens.

Verifying UVC Exposure The UVC Dose Indicator can be used during each UVC disinfection cycle to help technicians visually validate that surfaces and equipment have received an optimal dose of UVC energy. A color reference chart demonstrates the changes associated with various energy levels as shown below:
A
Detection of overhanging & protruding obstacles
B
Overhanging obstacles may damage the UVC lamps. The presence of two side lasers help to detect obstacles while the lamp guard provides safety against protruding objects.
Detection of human presence and safety against UVC exposure UVC light exposure is harmful to humans. The four pairs of PIR Motion sensors provide 360° detection of human presence and shut the UVC light immediately if a person is detected.
Autonomous Navigation The TECHI UVC robot navigates autonomously through a mapped route. It moves seamlessly between irradiation areas thus completely eliminating the need for manual labour to move it from one location to another.
