Desarrollo de un Sistema de Monitoreo y Planificación de Procesos de Desinfección para Ambientes COVID-19

Abstract

The return to activities in educational environments implies a rigorous strategy of disinfection and surveillance of indoor environments, in order to reduce the spread rate of the Sars-CoV2 virus (Covid-19); the importance of eradication of the pathogen on surfaces implies the ordering of concise strategies on the disinfection of these spaces in which people pass continuously, the present degree work proposes the establishment of a monitoring system and planning of disinfection processes that allow to evaluate the state of the environment and tends to generate alerts about events that affect the health of the people present there, such as the irradiation of the disinfection method in people, crowding in closed environments or entry into non-sterilized areas; Therefore, this system must allow communication with a disinfection robot, a project currently under development at the Julio Garavito Colombian School of Engineering, so that it executes a navigation plan and allows managing and maintaining disinfection requests, ensuring a safe environment for the people who interact there. This process of elaboration of the system will focus on three stages of development, elaboration of a monitoring system capable of acquiring information about the execution of disinfection processes and acquiring information from the classroom or offices, such as door status and count. of people, for your report; Additionally, a disinfection strategy demarcated by characteristic paths will be evaluated that will allow the area to be irradiated with the disinfectant method, ensuring an environment under biosafety standards in the institution; In addition to this, and in order to evaluate the system, a simulation environment is developed that emulates the behavior of the robot, communication between systems and disinfection methods allowing to obtain a visualization of the development of the system as well as the possibility of managing its passage to a real environment in which the proposed technology can be applied. Finally, results of the operation of each proposed scheme are obtained, as well as the evaluation of metrics for the evaluation of the different processes carried out in the simulation environment, which represents interior spaces in the Julio Garavito Colombian School of Engineering, validating times and management of information to favor the execution of disinfection tasks, obtaining indicators such as the average disinfection time of a room, of 3.8 minutes, as well as the time required to generate the event virtually, of 1.78 milliseconds; This system manages to apply communication between entities to favor the monitoring and planning of disinfection processes in simulated environments, characterized by the distribution of rooms emulating an educational institution, evidencing the potential it has to function in a situation or physical study, since fully complies with the processes that are programmed
