On back of demand, Immotion launches commercial UV cleaning
solution - Uvisan
Immotion Group, the UK-based immersive entertainment group is
pleased to announce, following its trading update of last week, the
launch of a range of proprietary UV anti-bacterial cleaning
cabinets, under the Uvisan brand.
As per the statement last week, as a direct response to the
COVID-19 crisis the Company has designed and had exclusively
manufactured a range of proprietary UV disinfectant cabinets. The
new product was originally designed for the sole purpose of
cleansing VR headsets for its larger partner locations,
predominantly Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. The Company
realised that the cleansing of VR headsets was going to be
important to maximise both operational throughput as well as keep
customers safe. Following the announcement last week, the Company
has received numerous external commercial enquiries. As a direct
result it has decided to sell the cabinets to third party companies
under the Uvisan name.
Following exceptional demand, the Company in the last week sold
10 cabinets, including four cabinets to Chichester University, who
have purchased the cabinets to protect sensitive equipment against
COVID-19 infection.
The University approached Uvisan as they quickly realised
multimedia equipment such as microphones, laptops and speakers
cannot be treated with traditional solution-based alcohol cleaning
materials, and as such they needed a proven solution for this
problem. The Uvisan cabinets provide a clinically proven
alternative to protect students, staff and business partners.
Chichester is the first University to be supplied by Uvisan,
although we are starting to see enquiries from other academic
faculties.
The cabinets are available in a variety of sizes with the
largest able to accommodate, cleanse and charge up to 30 laptops in
a matter of minutes. The Uvisan cabinets range in price from
GBP2,399 to GBP3,199.
The Uvisan cabinet will provide Chichester University with
medical-grade light spectrum cabinets that have been proven to kill
99.9% of all pathogens including virus and bacteria, removing the
need for alcohol and solution based products that could harm
sensitive technology.
The Company has tested the cabinets on a variety of equipment,
including Motion capture suit components, Microphones, Keyboards,
Cameras, PC peripherals, Headphones and VR headsets to name but a
few items. Due to demand a UV clothing cabinet has now been
designed with a view to supplying sectors where the cleansing of
uniforms, and staff clothing is essential.
The Uvisan process works by harnessing ultraviolet germicidal
irradiation (UVGI), which is a disinfection method that uses
short-wavelength ultraviolet (ultraviolet C or UVC) light to kill
or inactivate micro-organisms by destroying nucleic acids and
disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular
functions. UVGI is used in a variety of applications, such as food,
air, and water purification.
A cleaning cycle using UVGI takes between 3 to 10 minutes
(dependent on the number of devices and object surface complexity)
and can sanitise up to 100 phones, 50 tablets or 30 VR headsets in
a single cycle.
Arek Antoniak, Operations Director - Immotion said: "When the
pandemic hit we knew we had to find a solution for our larger VR
Partners, our team set about designing a cabinet from scratch and
within weeks had created and built the Uvisan range. All the
cabinets have undergone extensive clinical testing and are proven
to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in a matter of minutes."
"The Uvisan solution is ideal for Universities, Schools, TV
Studios and effectively any organisation where the use of a
solution based cleansing method is not acceptable. We know many
organisations need a guarantee that the equipment their staff and
customers are using is safe - Uvisan can provide this level of
comfort."
Rod Matthews from Chichester University said: " At the
University of Chichester we take pride in ensuring our students
have the safest as well as the best experience across everything we
do. Our students can expect to have hands-on experience of
high-tech equipment across our entire curriculum, and especially in
our innovative eSports, eGames Design, Animation and Film
Production facilities. In our state of the art Tech-Park, students
get to use high-end industry filming equipment such as motion
capture, as well our extensive bespoke computer labs to create and
edit films, audio, animation to industry production standards."
"We needed a solution that was easy to use and would eradicate
bacteria without damaging the sensitive equipment used by our
colleagues and students. The Uvisan cabinet was the perfect proven
solution allowing us to clean all our equipment in a simple and
quick cleaning cycle."
