Design and Modeling of IoT-based Sterilization Box using UV-C Radiation

Abstract

The design of the sterilization box is based on the ATmega2560 microcontroller which utilizes the concept of 254 nanometer UV-C shortwave radiation and disinfectant spray to increase the effectiveness of the sterilization box. In order to prevent transmission through touch from users through physical contact via sterilization box, researchers designed a system that can make users access sterilization box without the need to make physical contact with the device, namely by using IoT system with the help of applications that can be accessed through the user's smart device. Based on the results of the analysis and experiment that has been carried out, it is concluded that the sterilization box in this study can work optimally at a distance of less than 700 cm. This tool can operate using smartphone media via bluetooth HC-05 module, so it can minimize the process of spreading Covid-19 that occurs through physical contact.
