In buildings such as hotels, hospitals, and residential complexes, food, medicines, and personal items are frequently transported via elevators. Due to restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic, delivery personnel are often not permitted inside buildings, leading to packages being placed directly on elevator floors. This exposes items to contamination from dirt, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals, posing a health risk to users.
Core Features
- Sterilization System: Uses UV-C light to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses between uses.
- Secure, Elevated Design: A dedicated tray is installed on the elevator wall, keeping items off the contaminated floor.
- Automatic Opening & Closing: Reduces the need for physical contact, improving hygiene.
- Disposable Absorbent Liner: Prevents spills and makes cleaning easy.
- Barcode Reader & Digital Tracking: Allows for secure, trackable deliveries in commercial and residential settings.
- Hospital Integration: Customizable compartments ensure correct medication delivery to patients.
Innovative Differentiation
Unlike traditional transport methods where items are exposed to contamination, this tray provides automated,enclosed, and sterilized storage. The combination of UV-C sterilization, contact-free operation, and trackingtechnology makes it a unique, multi-purpose innovation for safer deliveries.
Benefits
- Improves hygiene and safety by reducing exposure to contaminants.
- Automates package handling for hotels, hospitals, and apartment buildings.
- Prevents cross-contamination of medical supplies, food, and personal items.
- Reduces human contact, making deliveries more secure and efficient.
Broader Impact
This invention enhances public health by addressing hygiene concerns in high-traffic buildings. It can modernize hospital logistics, improve delivery efficiency, and reduce contamination-related health risks in commercial and residential spaces. The tray contributes to a more sanitary and technologically advanced future for everyday transport solutions.
