Blue Ocean Robotics recognised by Frost & Sullivan for virus-killing UVD robots

HSE

Frost & Sullivan has selected Blue Ocean Robotics for its ‘2020 European Professional Service Robots Product Leadership’ Best Practice award

The recognition was earned primarily on the basis of the company's work with subsidiary UVD Robots, combining autonomous robot technology with ultraviolet light to disinfect against viruses such as COVID-19.

Rohit Karthikeyan, industry manager with Frost & Sullivan, said, “Blue Ocean Robotics’ flagship product, UVD Robots, especially enables hospitals to reduce disease transmission by killing 99.99 per cent of bacteria and microorganisms. It is the first and only autonomous mobile robot that disinfects a variety of surfaces using UV-C light, giving it superior utility over competing solutions. Uniquely, the UVD robot can be easily controlled with a tablet.”

A subsidiary of Blue Ocean Robotics, Denmark-based UVD Robots’ solution has been proven to eliminate pathogens within 10-15 minutes of a patient's room. The company’s self-driving, disinfecting robots have been rolled out to more than 50 countries worldwide.

Blue Ocean Robotics CEO Claus Risager said, “Being recognised by Frost & Sullivan with a ‘Best Practice Award’ pays tribute to the heart, passion, and drive we dedicate to creating innovation, development, and commercial success. We are very proud to develop robots that not only help solve the world’s problems, but are also solid and lucrative investments for our owners.”
