Problem
Traditional methods of surface contamination detection, such as ATP swabs, are resource-intensive, time-consuming, and often rely on random spot testing, which can lead to undetected contamination and potential safety risks. These methods also require consumables, adding to operational costs and waste. The inability to rapidly and comprehensively assess surface cleanliness poses significant challenges in industries where hygiene is critical.
Solution
SafetySpect offers a real-time contamination detection platform that combines advanced spectroscopy with AI to identify biological residues on surfaces. The technology eliminates the need for consumables and enables immediate results, allowing for rapid inspection of large surface areas. Its CSI (Contamination Scene Investigation) product line provides handheld devices that operate in ambient light and utilize edge computing for automatic detection. The QAT (Quality, Adulteration, and Traceability) technology detects adulteration, measures quality, and enhances supply chain efficiency.
Target Audience
The primary customers include professionals in food processing, healthcare, commercial cleaning, military, government, senior care facilities, and restaurants, who require rapid and comprehensive surface contamination detection.
