NRCT joins hands with NSTDA and NSTDA to deliver MagikTuch innovation, contactless elevator to a new way of life Reduce the risk – avoid germs for hospitals 3 armed forces
On September 28, 65, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (NIH) by the National Research Office (NRCT) and the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) together with the Department of Science and Technology Defense Technology (M.Sc. Khor.) held a ceremony to deliver innovations MagikTuch, a 2 in 1 contactless elevator push button to reduce risk Avoid contact with pathogens that may accumulate on elevator buttons that people use to use the service, with Dr. Wiparat Di Ong, director of the National Research Office, Dr. Siwarak Siwamoktham, director of the Technology Center for Security. of the country and its commercial applications, NSTDA and Lt. Gen. Somkiat Samphan, Department of Defense Science and Technology together to deliver such innovations to 3 hospitals, namely Somdej Phra Pinklao Hospital Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital and Phramongkutklao Hospital at the meeting room of Lt. Gen. Sanit Posakrishna, 5th floor of the Pikroh and Therapy Building. Somdejprapinklao Hospital
Dr. Wiparat Di Ong, director of the National Research Office, said that NRCT under the Ministry of NIDA has participated in alleviating the COVID-19 situation. It has been more than 3 years since Thai people and around the world have faced this crisis. CU has gathered more than 20 researchers and scientists to research and develop innovations to help reduce the impact of Covid-19. Focusing on a variety of health-related results, the MagikTuch innovation, a touchless elevator push button, 2 in 1, is one of the projects that NSTDA supports NSTDA to expand the results to real applications to alleviate the epidemic crisis. COVID-19 in the country by converting conventional elevator systems into contactless elevators Because the elevators in public places are used by many people. Therefore, having such innovations will greatly reduce the risk of people being exposed to various pathogens.
Dr. Siwarak Siwamoksatham, Director of the Technology Center for National Security and Commercial Applications, NSTDA, said that at present, there are many epidemics. And many diseases can be transmitted through touching things. with secretions or germs from the patient stuck especially things such as door handles, escalator handrails, faucets, as well as push-buttons of the passenger elevator, which is a transportation system that is shared by a large number of people. The research team therefore developed an innovative MagikTuch, a contactless elevator push button. that has been supported by NIDA as a technology that enhances safety in daily life Minimizes the accumulation of germs, the risk of contact with elevator buttons that may contain secretions or germs. of the patient stuck It can help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Lt. Gen. Somkiat Samphan, the head of the Department of Defense Science and Technology, said that the NRCT has facilitated the place. Supporting operators to bring innovative contactless elevators to be installed at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital Phramongkutklao Hospital and Somdejprapinklao Hospital Which is very glad and very pleased that KASIKORNBANK has become a part of bringing innovations that Thai researchers have invented and produced. which has been supported by NRCT and NSTDA to bring benefits and also has features that are as effective as foreign countries Reduce imports and no need to buy a new elevator. In addition, the hospital will not have to worry about the elevator system. Because it is a research that has passed electrical safety testing standards for the safety of users. which can be installed on the same elevator without drilling the elevator Importantly, it does not affect the status of the insurance system from the elevator installation and maintenance company. Because it is a device for converting elevator buttons to a contactless system. that will help the quality of life of Thai people away from various diseases
For innovation MagikTuch, a touchless elevator button has 3 advantages: 1. Touchless is a touchless operation system. command by sensor By placing your finger over the elevator button of the desired floor, a distance of 1-3 cm. The sensor will automatically detect the desired floor information and operate the elevator. There is also a detection system to prevent multi-button commands at the same time. At the same time, if the system crashes or users are not comfortable using contactless Can use the traditional elevator button press method. Because the system is designed to work in 2 types, namely contactless and button press 2. Safe from Infection, safe from infection. because when no contact will reduce the spread of germs in the elevator and 3. Easy Installation: easy to install and flexible. The MagikTuch kit can be installed on the same elevator. without having to modify or connect the electronic circuit of the elevator Therefore, it does not affect the system warranty status of the elevator installer and operator company. It is also designed to be flexible to accommodate the number of floors required for various brands of passenger elevators. It also has an electrical protection system for user safety and has passed EMC/EMI standards testing.
Delivering the innovation of MagikTuch, the touchless elevator button, this time NSTDA and NSTDA have delivered such innovations to the 3 hospitals in the army, namely 1. Somdejprapinklao Hospital Naval Medical Department The research team installed 2 sets at the Biological and Therapeutic Building from floor B to Floor 6, along with installing 2 elevators inside and 5 elevators outside. 2. Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital Royal Thai Air Force Medical Department have installed 2 sets at Khum Ket Building from floor B to 5th floor, including installing 2 sets of inside panels at the elevators and 6 panels on the outside of the elevators; and 3. Phramongkutklao Hospital Has been installed at Mahawachiralongkorn Building from the 1st to the 7th floor, 1 set, including installing 1 elevator inside panel and 4 elevator exterior panels, including 3 hospitals installed elevators. A total of 5 sets of 20 touchless elevator command panels which the research team has done to keep up with the demand for utilization
In the past, NSTDA has supported NSTDA to implement the MagikTuch innovation, a contactless elevator push button. Already in more than 10 places such as Exhibition and Convention Center, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, Sirindhorn Science Hospital for the Disabled, etc., resulting in the expansion and in the process of installing MagikTuch to be used Additional use in places where people use more than 12 installation points, such as Pathum Thani City Hall Thammasat University Hospital including the 3 hospitals in this army This will help alleviate the country’s urgent crisis, especially in adapting to a new way of life. that need to pay more attention to personal hygiene
