COVID Protection System (COPS) for Workplace

COVID Protection System (COPS) for Workplace

CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, unveiled the COVID Protection System (COPS) for Workplace as a game-
changer in the current Pandemic Scenario. Prof. (Dr.) Harish Hirani, Director, CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, while unveiling the COPS for Workplace conglomeration of technology at a Press Conference held on 17th July, 2020, stated that, “Apart from the Healthcare Workers, the frontline Security Guards of any
organisation are also very vulnerable to COVID through infected individuals and contaminated
objects. CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, in the near future will be developing a Digital Entry Management
Systems whereby workflow would be automated and would be based upon Artificial Intelligence and
Internet of Things. The COPS for Workplace includes contactless Solar Based Intelligent Mask
Automated Dispensing Unit cum Thermal Scanner (IntelliMAST), Touchless Faucet (TouF) and 360°
Car Flusher are now available for Technology Transfers and Product Orders.”
Dr.Hirani further stated that, “CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, aims to support and align the Start-Ups and
Entrepreneurs while developing its technologies to give boost to their aspirations and give them a
platform to showcase their Innovative potential. CSIR-CMERI is also focused upon developing
products Made in India, which will consequently boost the Atma-Nirbhar Bharat flagship initiative of
the Government of India”.
The COPS is a conglomeration of the following technologies:
1. Solar Based Intelligent Mask Automated Dispensing Unit cum Thermal Scanner
(IntelliMAST)-The Solar Based IntelliMAST is an Intelligent surveillance kiosk which identifies
the body temperature and whether an individual is wearing Face Mask or not through
customised Software solutions. The information about an employee not wearing a Face Mask
is provided to the Administration for Cashless delivery of the Mask and later deduction of the
price from the Salary. In this regard the system harnesses Internet-of-Things in a seamless
manner. The in-built Thermal Scanner detects probable rise in Body Temperature through
forehead scanning and audio visual alert the Security Guards. The IntelliMAST will help ensure
safety of supervising staff and implementation of precautionary measure in any large
organization. The IntelliMAST will also facilitate Identity Card based Mask Dispensing &
Attendance System. Facial Recognition based &ID Card based Attendance System will be
incorporated into the system in the near future and therefore may act as a comprehensive
solution for Office & Industrial Complexes as well as School & College campuses. This system uses Artificial Intelligence and Information Technology to give real-time results and can be
synchronised with the Human Resource Data of any organisation for any real-time data
response and dissemination of information. The IntelliMAST system is backed up by Solar
Power for uninterrupted Power Supply during blackouts. The power supply requirement of
the IntelliMAST is 40-50 Watts sourced through a Hybrid combination of Solar Power &
Electricity.

2. Touchless Faucet (TouF)-The Touchless Faucet (TouF) is being launched for households and
Office Spaces. The system dispenses Liquid Soap and Water from the same Faucet with a
time-gap of 30 seconds, which is as per the latest Government guidelines. The Faucet can be
very easily mounted on top of any Wash-Basin and will be available in Plug and Play mode for
very easy installation. This System dispenses Water 30 seconds after dispensing Soap in a
Touch-free Mechanism as per Local Government guidelines and can be very easily mounted
on top of household wash basins. This domestic variant of the Dispensing system will help in
arresting the contamination and help in further containing the spread of infection among the
family members, for any asymptomatic individual. The technology has a power supply
requirement of only 10 Watts.
3. 360° Car Flusher: The CSIR-CMERI developed 360° Car Flusher is a Sodium Hypochlorite Water
Screen which uses specialised Nozzle Design to ensure that the Sanitizer Diffused Water is
evenly spread over and under the Car Body/Wheels with adequate Water Force and coverage.
The Architecture of the 360° Car Flusher is based upon a Water Channel Frame with
appropriate number of specialised Nozzles which can be customised and modified as per the
specific requirements of any particular organisation. The Water Channel Frame and Nozzle
Design of the Flusher have been optimised to ensure Water Efficiency and reduce Water
Wastage. It requires 750 watts of power required to run a pump.
