The Industrial Training Institute (ITI), Berhampur won gold medal at the 72nd SKOCH Summit held in New Delhi on Saturday.
It bagged the top award for its outstanding work in developing innovative products to fight Covid-19. The ITI Berhampur had registered three of its innovative products developed to fight against Coronavirus in the patent journal.
The three innovations by the institute are Mobile Swab Collection Kiosk, UVC Sole Sanitiser and UVC Robo Warrier. As per a recent report of WHO, the COVID-19 virus aerosol can also transmit through air. ITI Berhampur has provided a solution to put the suspected patient inside the cabin and technician outside the kiosk. By a negative pressure technology using HEPA filters, the aerosols are filtered, making the environment free from Covid virus in that area. A sole senitising device includes a portable platform and a pair of shoe sole receiving sections including open bottom surface. Each of the shoe sole receiving sections is adapted to receive the exterior part of the shoe.
As the Covid-19 infection number is increasing in the society, preventing our soles from any chance of Covid virus as well as other infections is highly essential. It can be used at entrance of public places like hospital, office, airport, railway station, shopping mall, hotel and institute etc. to disinfect the shoe sole.
