| Summary: |
The goal of GermIrrad is to research and develop an automated and multipurpose solution for disinfection of public spaces and public transportation vehicles. The system to be developed will be safe to cohabitate with human life, allowing for more regular high-efficiency disinfection procedures of high-traffic locations. The system will inactivate bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
The system to be developed will make use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize the disinfection operation towards the environmental conditions (e.g. presence or absence of people) and usage of public space, prioritizing areas of higher traffic and more frequently touched surfaces. Additive Manufacturing (AM) with high-performance polymers and reinforced polymer composites will be used to manufacture the developed system, as to guarantee the economic feasibility and competitiveness when manufacturing short runs, to allow for customized solutions and to optimize the structural design of the various sub-systems.
The Ultraviolet disinfection equipment market was already predicted as a high growth market with a compound annual growth rate of 16.2% in the period between 2018-2023 but will be even larger given the current global pandemic occurrence. Spinner Dynamics aims to disrupt the market with an innovative solution and in this way carve a space in this high growth market.
This project fits well with the growth strategy of the project leader Spinner Dynamics, which aims to develop a family of products from the outcome of GermIrrad with high value added and ability to fully customize to each client requirements. The use of newer fabrication techniques, such as additive manufacturing of high-performance polymer composites components, will enable an efficient product tailor made for each application, a very fast development time and cost effective for small and medium production runs.
GermIrrad will also contribute towards technological and knowledge transfer between the R&I system an  |

GermIrrad will also contribute towards technological and knowledge transfer between the R&I system and the non-academic community namely an SME, through the creation of a high added value disruptive technological product. More specifically the project will create high education jobs and develop innovative technological products in an SME located in a less dense region. |
