A Turkish company - with local capabilities - was able to produce and export a robot that can disinfect medical facilities and other places high exposure to viruses using ultraviolet C rays, which helps eliminate the Corona epidemic.
Anadolu Agency quoted Shamil Ozden, the founding partner of Milvus Robotics, the manufacturer of SEIT-UV. He says they have built robots that transport goods in factories and warehouses, and are sold outside the country.
Ozden explained that the focus at this time is on disinfection robots, as it is a new field that uses technology to confront the developments in the country with the spread of the Corona epidemic.
He added, "Since the establishment of the company, we have been working on developing many products using the support provided for research, development and innovation provided by state agencies, foremost of which is the Small and Medium Enterprises Development and Support Administration (KOSGEB) and the Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Authority (TÜBİTAK). Transfer all our knowledge and experience to the technologies of this robot. "
Ozden indicated that the robot was completely produced and developed with completely local capabilities, and that 85% of the components of the robot are homemade, and that it has a local production document, and all tests were carried out on the robot's software and equipment and on the integration, efficiency and effectiveness of UV data through local capabilities and means.
According to the spokesman, the ultraviolet C disinfection is one of the applications that has a wide spread area, and the effect distance can also be determined thanks to this robot.
Effective cleansing
One of the advantages of the robot is that during disinfection with ultraviolet "C" rays, it shows the effectiveness of disinfection through the distance between the person and the source of the rays, and according to the period during which it is exposed to the rays.
Ozden says, "Thanks to this robot, we are developing a process completely far from humans due to the severe damage of these rays to it, and the main advantage of this robot is that it can shed rays at specific points, and it can continuously maintain the effective distance that needs to be observed in a room or any closed place," So you guarantee the same effective degree of disinfection in every position the robot moves. "
Ozden said that they have large sales of the robot at home and abroad, and it has many orders from abroad, as they have already exported it to many countries, including Azerbaijan, Italy and Canada, and the requests from other countries are increasing.
The robot guarantees effective disinfection, and it has been approved by accredited testing laboratories and the testing laboratory of the Ministry of Health, as well as by overseas customers through their experience with it.
It is widely used
The robot can be used widely in hospitals, laboratories, laboratories, airports and shopping centers.
It is mainly used in hospitals, because it is most vulnerable to the spread of pathogens, and it is also places with a greater possibility of transmitting infection, and it can also be used in the effective disinfection of many other places where chemicals are difficult to use, or should not be used in disinfection, such as hotels, airports and centers Shopping and shops.
