Automatic disinfection of trays at passenger security checkpoints.
SKYTRAY DISINFECTION SYSTEM
Automatic system for tray disinfection based on UV-C light. The usage of trays at the passenger security checkpoints is critical for transmitting germs in airports and other terminal facilities. Therefore, the implementation of disinfection systems is essential to ensure passengers safety.
THE STARTING POINT TO REGAIN PASSENGERS CONFIDENCE
Every journey always begin with a first step: the passenger screening. Skytray converts the passenger security checkpoint into a germ-free, safe area
ADDRESSING THE MAJOR SOURCE OF DISEASE TRANSMISSION THROUGH CONTACT
Researchers from Nottingham University and the National Health Institute of Finland discovered that the plastic trays used at passenger security checkpoints in airports contain the highest level of pathogens. This discovery takes on particular importance given the pandemic emergency due to COVID-19 caused by SARS COV-2. The mentioned research was carried out in the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport during and after the massive surge of passengers by winter 2016. The researchers took samples of various surfaces to analyse the pathogens remaining in the most frequented areas.
