Aero HygenX CEO Arash Mahin said:

"Lufthansa Technik is the global leader in aircraft of aircraft maintenance,repair,overhaul and modification services,so naturally this distribution agreement represents a major step forward for Aero HygenX.

UV-C light has been used for decades to effectively disinfect food,water,surfaces and air. It is proven to safely destroy the pathogens that cause MERS-CoV,SARS-CoV1,Ebola,and SARS-CoV2 (and other serious viruses). In the aircraft cabin,RAY's autonomous UV-C disinfection is helping to stop the repeated use of harmful chemicals,protect aircraft interiors,reduce turnaround times,improve safety,and reassure passengers (and crew) that their wellbeing is top of mind.

RAY's light weight,compact size and motion-sensing technology allow it to be transported easily and to navigate cramped spaces (such as aircraft cabins) without an operator present to guide it. RAY has the ability to disinfect a narrow body aircraft (such as a B737 or A320) in as little as seven minutes and can also be used to treat in lavatories so airlines can fully sanitize aircraft after every flight. Setting RAY apart from its competition is HygenX Stream,a customizable software that records and transmits usage data wirelessly to the cloud.

Designed for the transportation industry,RAY is a compact and light-weight autonomous robot which uses motion sensing technology to navigate cramped spaces (such as aircraft cabins) and disinfect air and surfaces quickly,safely and without the use of harmful chemicals,using UV-C light.

RAY has the ability to disinfect a narrow body aircraft (such as a B737 or A320) in as little as seven minutes and can also be used to treat in lavatories,flight deck,and crew rest areas so airlines can fully sanitize aircraft after every flight. Unlike competing disinfection robots,the RAY unit does not require a crew member to move it through the cabin. Furthermore,RAY can be optimized for various aircraft types and comes equipped with HygenX Stream,a customizable software that records and transmits usage data wirelessly to the cloud,providing valuable system health monitoring and status updates to the operator.
