Abstract
A system and a method include a wand assembly including a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp configured to emit UV light to sanitize a surface of a component. The wand assembly further includes a first monitored member. The system also includes a second monitored member. A verification control unit is in communication with the first monitored member and the second monitored member. The verification control unit is configured to detect a speed of the wand assembly based on a comparison of the first monitored member in relation to the second monitored member.
Claims24
A system comprising:
- a wand assembly comprising a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp configured to emit UV light to sanitize a surface of a component, the wand assembly further comprising a first monitored member;
- a second monitored member;
- and
- a verification control unit in communication with one or both of the first monitored member or the second monitored member, wherein the verification control unit is configured to detect a speed of the wand assembly based on a comparison of the first monitored member in relation to the second monitored member.
A method comprising:
- employing a wand assembly to sanitizing a surface of a component, wherein the wand assembly comprises a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp configured to emit UV light to sanitize a surface of a component, the wand assembly further comprising a first monitored member;
- communicatively coupling a verification control unit with one or both of the first monitored member or a second monitored member;
- and
- detecting, by the verification control unit, a speed of the wand assembly based on a comparison of the first monitored member in relation to the second monitored member.
A system comprising:
- a first monitored member configured to be coupled to a wand assembly comprising a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp configured to emit UV light to sanitize a surface of a component;
- a second monitored member;
- and
- a verification control unit in communication with one or both of the first monitored member or the second monitored member, wherein the verification control unit is configured to detect a speed of the wand assembly based on a comparison of the first monitored member in relation to the second monitored member.
