Austrian shop-fitting specialist Umdasch has revealed its latest retail hygiene innovation, the Umdasch UV-C Fitting Room.
The Umdasch UV-C Fitting Room is a self-disinfecting changing cubicle that uses UV-C light to kill 99.9% of bacteria, including COVID-19, on clothes and surfaces. The company also offers bespoke designs and retrofitting options for the fitting room to suit various brand and retailer requirements.
Retail staff begin the sterilisation process by double-locking the doors of the cubicle. A red light turns on to signal that the disinfection process has begun; and switches back green to signify that the process has been completed.
In case the disinfection process is initiated while a customer is still in the cubicle, the Umdasch UV-C Fitting room has been equipped with motion sensors and an integrated emergency shutdown system to instantly stop the UV-C radiation.
Umdasch has also revealed a series of other concepts adapted to retailer’s hygiene needs during the COVID-19 crisis. These include contactless hygiene stations, digital COVID-19 information signage screens, mobile shopping carts and protection shields to keep staff safe.
