A leading provider of air and surface disinfection solutions, Ultraviolet Devices Inc. (UVDI), developed Badger UV Disinfect robot, equipped with advanced UV-C technology. This autonomous ultraviolet disinfecting robot was recently introduced by Badger Technologies- a product division of Jabil. It is designed to combat COVID-19 and high-risk pathogens commonly found in grocery, food-service and retail environments and are the latest robots in the lineup. Early testing of the new Badger Technologies robot with UVDI’s 254nm UV-C technology indicates 99% and greater inactivation of corona viruses, E.coli, Salmonella enterica and Influenza A. Testing results also show that the Badger UV Disinfect robot can
decontaminate 40,000 sq. ft. in about two hours, enabling rapid disinfection of typical
store spaces, including shelves, aisles and checkout areas.
Peter Veloz, CEO of UltraViolet Devices Inc., said, “We’re proud to work with
Badger Technologies to advance store safety combining globally trusted technologies
in ultraviolet disinfection and robotics. Together, we can provide enhanced surface
disinfection in public spaces with a self-navigating, autonomous UV disinfecting
solution that’s proven effective and simple for retailers to implement safely.”
UVDI’s advanced UV-C technology, used by over 1,000 hospitals in more than 25
countries, has proven its effectiveness in limiting healthcare-associated infections,
according to published clinical studies. UVDI announced the results of independent
testing conducted by Innovative Bioanalysis, an accredited BSL-3 laboratory. UVDI’s
IAQ solutions also are in use at more than 10,000 international commercial sites.
