Fighting viruses with technology, Guangmingyuan becomes the beam of 'light' under the pandemic haze

This summer vacation, many people chose to travel during the gaps in the pandemic, rewarding themselves after half a year of study and work with magnificent scenery and local delicacies. However, the ever-present virus always makes all travel plans full of twists and turns.

Recently, popular tourist destinations such as Hainan, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Gansu have experienced recurrent outbreaks of the epidemic, causing many tourists to cut their summer vacations short. Although the situation has been volatile, it is reassuring that no large-scale transmission or infection occurred during this period.

The current pandemic remains within a controllable range because China possesses extensive experience in epidemic prevention and management, effectively halting the virus's spread during the initial outbreak phase. Meanwhile, new breakthroughs in disinfection technology by relevant enterprises and institutions have effectively prevented the virus from spreading further.

The virus is cunning

The disinfection method urgently needs to be innovated

The COVID-19 pandemic has plagued humanity for over two years. Despite all efforts worldwide, the cunning virus has not been eradicated; instead, multiple variants have emerged and spread globally, causing the outbreak to persist.

Through multiple encounters with the novel coronavirus, we have gained deep insight into its latent and hidden nature. Therefore, in the current situation where herd immunity has not yet been established, carrying out preventive cleaning and disinfection work is one of the important preventive measures under the normalized epidemic prevention and control framework.

However, the events of Nanjing Lukou Airport being compromised and the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in imported cold-chain food and its packaging across multiple regions highlight an urgent issue that needs to be addressed: optimizing disinfection protocols, improving logistics disinfection efficiency, and developing a new generation of all-encompassing, zero-angle disinfection products.

Many traditional disinfection methods, technologies, and means currently on the market have significant limitations. Traditional disinfection products commonly used in public spaces are often applied manually through spraying and wiping of disinfectants, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also poses certain safety risks to both the environment and human health due to the disinfectant agents themselves. Most critically, these products are unsuitable for certain surfaces and settings, creating disinfection blind spots and loopholes that provide opportunities for the novel coronavirus to spread.

Driven by market demand, it has become urgent to develop and promote new disinfection product technologies that are environmentally friendly, cost-controllable, long-lasting in efficacy, easy to operate, and labor- and time-saving.

Tech for Epidemic Prevention

UV sterilization equipment operator

With the joint support of major enterprises and medical institutions, various new disinfection technologies have emerged. Among them, UVC-based disinfection black technology, leveraging multiple technical advantages, has been widely applied in public spaces such as campuses, airports, and stadiums, becoming a cornerstone in virus disinfection and prevention.

UV disinfection products actually utilize UV light sources to release ultraviolet rays that inactivate bacteria and viruses, achieving sterilization and disinfection. Compared with traditional chemical agent disinfection and plasma disinfection technologies, UV-based disinfection offers multiple advantages including effectiveness, safety, cost-efficiency, and environmental protection.

According to reports from China Lighting Network, with the strengthening of public environmental protection awareness and the entry of leading innovative home appliances, there are many products applying ultraviolet technology for sterilization and disinfection. In recent years, not only has sales increased significantly, but the product update cycle has also accelerated.

Among them, the star product that has made significant contributions to disinfection and epidemic prevention in key public places such as airports, campuses, and hospitals is the SafeGlo All-Around UV Disinfection Conveyor Belt from Guangmingyuan Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guangmingyuan).

As a hero in disinfection and epidemic prevention, the SafeGlo all-around UV disinfection conveyor has not only appeared in various scenarios such as airports, isolation hotels, logistics warehousing centers, etc., but also made an appearance at this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, providing solid protection for epidemic prevention at the Games.

In addition, according to the person in charge of Guangmingyuan, this "disinfection artifact" uses ultraviolet light at 253.7nm, near the "strongest band" of 260nm, and can achieve a 99.9% disinfection effect with just 5 seconds of exposure.

Harness light energy

Guangmingyuan will continue to pursue the light in the future

"Creating the future with technology, changing life with light" is Guangmingyuan's original intention, backed by over 20 years of technical accumulation in UV disinfection. Guangmingyuan has also provided effective support for joint epidemic prevention and control through concrete actions.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Guangmingyuan has repeatedly collaborated with all sectors of society to provide comprehensive UV disinfection conveyor tables for cold chain logistics, ordinary logistics centers, isolation hotels, airports, and hospitals, assisting in the construction of personnel and goods safety prevention and control management systems, and continuously supporting all sectors of society in strengthening epidemic prevention and control work.

Today, products based on UV sterilization technology, including the SafeGlo all-around UV disinfection conveyor table, 222nm smart far-UVC disinfection lamp, far-UVC sterilization door, and UV air disinfectant, are widely used in various scenarios. Whether it is cold chain cargo, packaging boxes, e-commerce parcels, checked luggage, or other items, they can all achieve "all-around, no-dead-angle" UV disinfection.

Guangmingyuan wields light as a weapon, harnessing the technological power of light in disinfection scenarios. In the future, Guangmingyuan will also follow the light. Hong Yannan, Chairman and President of Guangmingyuan, stated in an interview that the company plans to develop more products and expand into more application areas, such as infection control and disinfection, the medical field, and developing more disinfection products suitable for the breeding industry and modern facility agriculture.

Technology changes lives. Because there are many enterprises like Guangmingyuan that have always been on the path of innovation, using the light of technology to dispel the haze of the pandemic, ordinary people have had the choice and opportunity to pursue a better life.
