Design & Development of a Microcontroller Based “Environment Decontamination System Controller”

Abstract

EDSC (Environment Decontamination System Controller) is essentially a “Programmable Timer” that is designed for deployment in Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Laboratories, Sanitoriums, or Buildings/Premises which need to be De-Contaminated frequently. The patients who come to hospitals have their immunity already at low level, so they are more susceptible to catching infections. Extensive & frequent cleaning and decontamination requires extra manpower and scheduling, which adds to the fusillade of hospital‟s operation & maintenance work. It‟s not easy to keep track of Environmental Decontamination of Operation Theatres, ICUs & other Critical Areas of the Hospitals. Thus, Automation of this crucial work without manual intervention from time to time is the feature that makes EDSC extremely useful. With EDSC, you can comprehensively automate Decontamination of the hospital‟s environment by setting time slots of switching ON respective Machines for the whole week, at one go, making the EDS Controller, Highly Versatile and Crucial in Hospitals.
