Abstract
Ultraviolet radiation is directed within an area. The target wavelength ranges and/or target intensity ranges of the ultraviolet radiation sources can correspond to at least one of a plurality of selectable operating configurations including a virus destruction operating configuration and a bacteria disinfection operating configuration. Each configuration can include a unique combination of the target wavelength range and target intensity range.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- at least one ultraviolet radiation source configured to generate ultraviolet radiation directed within a storage area;
- and
- a monitoring and control system for managing the storage area by performing a method comprising:
- enabling selection of each of a plurality of selectable operating configurations, the plurality of selectable operating configurations including:
- a virus destruction operating configuration, and a bacteria disinfection operating configuration, wherein each selectable operating configuration includes a unique combination of a target wavelength range, a target intensity range, and a target pattern for the ultraviolet radiation;
- monitoring, using data received from at least one of:
- a visual camera or a chemical sensor, a set of current conditions of at least one of:
- the storage area or a set of items located in the storage area;
- and
- controlling ultraviolet radiation generated by the at least one ultraviolet radiation source using a selected one of the plurality of selectable operating configurations and the set of current conditions.
