Game-changer in disinfection - HERO21 autonomous UV-C mobile robot solution for hospitals
An innovative contribution to health and safety - a robot that makes disinfection easy. The importance of disinfection in hospitals has increased considerably – and not just because of the coronavirus pandemic. Conventional disinfection methods, such as manual disinfection, only solve the problem rudimentarily. Often, they even produce more resistant germs. UV-C robots can help out: reliable, with state-of-the-art technology and high efficiency – and an optimal price-performance ratio. Whether in operating rooms, intensive care units or other highly sensitive areas of hospitals: The HERO21 provides the highest level of disinfection and thus offers optimum protection. After the initial disinfection of contaminated rooms, even the cleaning staff who normally work at the frontline are exposed to a much lower risk of infection. Read more about the HERO21: Read more about OMRON autonomous mobile robots:
