satellite arms to minimise shadowing and ensure thorough coverage within the fewest cycles. With net zero targets only 15 years away, and
a renewed focus on supply chain resilience under projects like the Design for Life roadmap, it’s important to ensure any new innovation is sustainable. The Illuvi® UV-C system has been engineered for low energy consumption, without the need for additional consumables. Proudly manufactured in the UK, the system also comes with a comprehensive service package, designed to give customers peace of mind. This package includes lamp health checks and burn-hour records, helping to predict possible failures. All of this is to ensure the device operates efficiently and safely for maximum customer satisfaction, while supporting the circular economy through improved product lifecycle management.
As the healthcare sector faces increasing
challenges, the introduction of UV-C decontamination and similar technologies represents a transformative step towards a healthier future. Ecolab is dedicated to pioneering infection prevention strategies to address the evolving needs of healthcare organisations, protecting both patient and staff health.
