Did somebody say competition?


The demand for Infection Control Systems is at an all time HIGH!!!

Ride the wave

Roll Baby Roll

By the Numbers

271,000 Infection Controls Systems sold yearly!!!

Bids are being requested in the thousands!!!

Growth Rates Through The ROOF 400%...600%...2000%!!!

The need for Infection Control Systems because of the pandemic is record breaking.

Never in the course of human history has so many wanted so much that companies just can’t keep up.

The pandemic has caused an epidemic in not only health care but everywhere.

These systems are needed and wanted all over the world:

PCTL tabled a MOU with China to take care of USA first:


Grieco then addressed rumors that the Company is expanding into China. Grieco shared that the Company signed an MOU in January of 2020, which required the Company to deliver systems. “When the pandemic broke, we took that out of the equation,” said Grieco. “What we have done is tabled any discussions until late summer,” he continued. “I don’t feel that we should be shipping any systems anywhere as long as we need them here in the United States.”

Xenen a private company Sees Surge In Orders As COVID-19 Pandemic Escalates

Xenex is being asked for bids on quantities of robots “in the thousands,”

The recent increase in business follows a year in which Xenex turned the corner to profitability, according to Miller. Revenue percentage growth was up about 20 percent in 2019, but Miller projects growth will be anywhere from 400 to 600 percent in 2020.

I wonder what PCTL growth will be???


In Coronavirus Fight, Robots Report For Disinfection Duty

Large-scale coronavirus testing continues to lag and a vaccine could be at least one year away. But in the battle against world pandemic a rapidly expanding brigade of robots is answering an urgent call of duty: surface disinfection.

They're rolling in by the hundreds and not just into hospitals and nursing homes but across a wide spectrum of public spaces, including government buildings, offices, hotels, airports and universities. Administrators of all stripes, desperate to keep people safe, are looking to a global robotics industry that has been quick to respond.

Denmark's UVD Robots, a leader in fully autonomous ultraviolet-light-disinfection robots, shipped hundreds of them to China in February and hundreds more throughout Europe in March. A much smaller number have arrived in the U.S. but several hundred more are on the way, said UVD Robots' CEO Per Juul Nielsen, speaking by telephone April 15.

"Hospitals around the world are waking up to autonomous disinfection," Nielsen said. "We can't build these robots fast enough.

"Healthcare-sector suppliers like UVD, Xenex and others still are a long way from being able to meet exploding global demand for automated disinfection solutions but it's not just specialized service robots riding into battle.

Human-friendly industrial robots, also known as collaborative robots, are being shifted away from tasks, such as machine tending and warehouse rack-stacking, and redeployed in the war on coronavirus.

The market for service robots in general has been growing. Some 271,000 of these types of robots were sold globally last year, according to data from the International Federation of Robotics. That's an increase of 61% over 2018.

Entering this year, UVD's view was that more healthcare institutions were going to want their robots owing to something else starting to spread — greater awareness about the dangers of healthcare associated infections.


Put another way, when a three-figure order from China came in February, Nielsen explained, it meant the company had nearly sold more robots that single day than it had during its full first year of commercial viability.

In the Middle East, where decision making is more centralized relative to Europe and the U.S., "some countries’ leaders have just said, ‘we need 100 of these robots,’" said Claus Risager, co-founder and CEO of Blue Ocean Robotics, speaking to The Robot Report.

Then came a targeted marketing campaign, moving from one regional healthcare sector to the next, in Scandinavian countries and eventually throughout Europe. Robot sales were steadily rising in 2019. At the end of last year, UVD projected an ambitious 2020 growth rate target: 400%.

"We already hit five times that," Nielsen said.


“We’re now seeing how mobile robots can be deployed to safeguard people, which, hopefully is changing negative perceptions some people have about robots,” said Jeff Burnstein, A3’s President. “What these applications for disinfecting, protecting hospital personnel, and related tasks illustrate is that robotics is an important technology to assist people, not replace them.”
