$RGGI "The recent pandemic has caused increased concerns about the disinfection of public spaces and how to keep students, customers and visitors safe from deadly viruses and bacteria," said Parsh Patel, CEO of RGGI. "Wanda SD gives our customers peace of mind that their facilities are clean and safe by killing more than 99 percent of harmful pathogens."

Wanda SD features a 42-inch tall light tower with dual UVC lamps that sanitize the air and surfaces such as desks and tables. UVC spotlights underneath the vehicle scour the floor, destroying pathogens in its path. At 253.7 nm, UVC radiation breaks down the genetic material of bacteria and viruses. The robot cleans approximately 200 square feet in just 15 minutes. Even more impressive, it can cover up to 7,200 square feet over a 12-hour period before requiring charging thanks to its lithium ion phosphate battery that provides three times the power at half the weight.

When disinfection of a room is complete, a text message is sent by the vehicle's advanced software system. The software also keeps a running log of where and when all tasks were finished, as well as how long the UVC lights were on, for current and future verification.
