A remotely controlled Ultraviolet Type C (UVC) radiation-based sterilization system.

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

JACE Technologies Ltd. came up with an innovative system for sterilization that uses ultraviolet type C (UVC) radiation. The groundbreaking solution is set to lower the transmission of deadly germs in all kinds of settings, such as hospitals, schools, offices, and public spaces. The system uses UVC radiation, which has higher energy to get deep into microorganisms, destroying DNA and effectively sanitizing 99.99% of surfaces and the air. It offers remote control capabilities for safe operation and supports automated scheduling. Additionally, it provides real-time data sensing and has an autonomous door, which gives the user a touch-free experience. Our system reduces healthcare-associated infections, which decreases healthcare costs, promoting public health and sustainability. This initiative is designed to assist in tackling vital health issues like pandemics, achieving a healthier quality of life, and positively impacting the quality of life and health worldwide.
