We are always looking for technologies and services that allow us to keep up with changes. For this reason, we have chosen to collaborate with Signify and use its innovative UV-C light technology for surfaces and air disinfection.
Customer challenge
During the COVID-19 pandemic, to.market’s biggest concern was to find a way to adapt to the new challenges generated by the health emergency. This included adopting measures to neutralise viruses and bacteria present on surfaces, objects and in the air to ensure that customers had a perfectly disinfected environment in which to shop.
The solution
Five Philips UV-C disinfection battens were installed to cover the busiest shop areas, such as cash registers and shopping trolleys and baskets, as their disinfection cycle is only activated in the absence of people. Thanks to the homogeneous distribution of UV-C light, these can disinfect surface and objects within a room in just a few seconds.
