First joint project

Ferag and Quicktron have already implemented a mobile robot for air sanitization and disinfection at Florence airport, which is a driverless vehicle that deals with the disinfection process in a safe and ecological way. On the one hand, the UVC disinfection lamp with its radiation intensity cleans the surfaces and on the other hand the disinfectant is sprayed through the robot head for clean air. We point out that at the present time, these solutions in line with the current regulations on COVID-19 and are particularly suitable for the use in public places.
