Abstract:
This research discusses how to design and realize a system that prevents the early spread of the virus, especially COVID-19, through hand contamination. This equipment is an integrated system starting from detecting the presence of people in a certain radius, detecting human body temperature, and automatic hand washing equipment equipped with a hand dryer. This equipment consists of parts including sensors for the presence of people at a specific radius, temperature sensors, sensors on water taps, and sensors on hand dryers. In addition, this tool uses a bottom-loading system to make it easier to refill water and soap. Based on the results of the tests, this tool can operate adequately. The PIR sensor can detect people coming within 1-4 meters, non-contact temperature sensors can detect human body temperature well within a distance of 0-5 centimetres, whose results can be seen on the LCD and heard through speakers; IR proximity sensor can detect the user’s hand at a predetermined distance so that water, soap, hand sanitizer and hand dryer can work at that distance. This equipment is expected to be used when entering public service areas to minimize the potential for the spread of COVID-19. © 2023 Taylor’s University. All rights reserved.
