Contactless Hand Sanitation Receptacle using Low-Pressure Misting System with Built-In Temperature Scanner

Abstract

To ensure proper hand sanitization while entering an establishment, the proponents came up with the design of The Contactless Hand Sanitation Receptacle. The proponents took the initiative to integrate a body temperature scanner into the designed device. Hence, this project's title is "Contactless Hand Sanitation Receptacle using Low- Pressure Misting System with Built-in Temperature Scanner." The concept of this project is simple yet efficient. The design consists of three parts. The first is temperature scanning. In this stage, when a user inserts their arms in the receptacle, an infrared sensor mounted in the device scans the user's temperature. If the temperature exceeds 37.2oC, a buzzer will trigger an alarm that a user might have a fever which is one of the symptoms of COVID-19. But suppose a user has an average temperature. In that case, the device will then sanitize the user's hand, which is the second part of the design. In this stage, a sanitizing solution filled in a container inside the receptacle is applied to the user's hands using a low-pressure misting system.
