Seoul Viosys announced that its violeds technology has been officially certified to eliminate 99.9% of harmful viruses and is applied to KT's AI disinfection robots. KT has consistently expanded robot service systems based on digital platforms including AI, big data, and cloud. Amid mounting interest in distancing in daily life attributed to the COVID-19 crisis, non-face-to-face service-based disinfection robots for minimizing the spread of infectious diseases have recently captured global attention.

As a result, keener attention has been paid to violeds, a UV LED disinfection technology solution, featuring high efficiency, a long lifespan, and a compact size, which can be easily applied to robots. Violeds for KT's AI disinfection robots is a patented solution developed and massively applied for the first time in the world by Seoul Viosys. It prevents the growth of germs and bacteria with UV LEDs.

In February 2022, Seoul Viosys and the Virosis Lab of the Korea University College of Medicine tested violeds technology, obtaining results showing that 99.99% of SARS-CoV-2 variants: B.1.1.529 are removed within a second. Violeds-based UV LED modules are installed on the bottom of robots. While robots move around, UV LEDs remove up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria on the floor.

Considering the travel speed of disinfection robots, Seoul Viosys has optimized the height and distance between its modules. As a result, even when robots pass by in a very short time, they can thoroughly disinfect the area by applying the amount and intensity of light equally. The eco-friendly violeds solution disinfects spaces only with UV rays, without chemicals or heavy metals and thereby not generating ozone.

Violeds technology can be applied for surface disinfection and for air sterilization. Applying violeds technology-based UV LED modules to air conditioning systems will minimize the number of viruses in the air to lower the possibility of infection, thereby enabling a comfortable indoor environment to be maintained.
