To combat the spread of Coronavirus, companies are distributing hydroalcoholic gel and increasing cleaning rates. They will also be able to rely on the technology of the Lyonnais from the Comète company, who have just developed the first antibacterial touchscreen terminal. They use silver ions which permanently destroy microbes.
To combat the spread of Coronavirus, companies are distributing hydroalcoholic gel and increasing cleaning rates. They will also be able to rely on technology with, in particular, tactile terminals and self-disinfecting door handles.
Today, we are talking about the coronavirus. But a few weeks ago, it was gastro and just before, it was the flu. What do they have in common? They are all transmitted by hands. We can therefore imagine what can be on the bathroom door handle or on the screen of a dispenser. In England, we even found traces of excrement on a control terminal of a fast food.
The Lyonnais from Comète have just developed the first antibacterial touchscreen terminal. They use silver ions which permanently destroy microbes. They last five years and thus avoid turning screens into distributors of germs.
What about door handles?
Again, this is a French invention. It is called the "Skoon Handle". It's pretty clever, it looks like an ordinary handle. But as soon as it is released, a small ring will slide along to clean it with a disinfectant. No more twisting in all directions to open the door with your elbow.
The ideal would be to have the same thing on the bars in transport.
Yes, but maybe not with a ring that goes up and down to clean. We rather think about a system that disinfects with light. They are Chinese who work there, but it is still in the planning stage.
One thing is certain: with repeated viruses, there will be more and more equipment to protect users. Exactly as we have known with firefighting.
