Covid19 took humankind by surprise in 2019. Due to its fast and efficiently spreading nature, we were forced to use face masks and gloves to protect from everything we touch. Now SARS-COV-2 is just one of the viruses in Coronavirus family, there are many more viruses in this family that haven’t jumped to humans yet. This pandemic has just given us an indication to be prepared for these types of pandemics.

Well we can use masks to protect us outside but what about the things we bring home from market or things we exchange with other people. For example: We cannot apply sanitizers on cell phones, cash or paperwork paperwork that doctors exchange with patients or employees exchange with each other.

Also sanitizer usage involves use of chemicals that are harmful to us and the environment as well as it involves recurring cost of buying sanitizers. Well we solve this huge problem with a smart electronics system powered by a microcontroller. We design a compact 360 degree disinfection box using ultraviolet sterilization to solve the issue. The system makes use of uv c tubes to achieve this task. Now UV C has been proven to kill all viruses within a matter of seconds

A barcode is a method of representing data in a visual, machine-readable form. Barcodes are primarily used for inventory management and to maintain track of stock. Barcodes are widely used in stores around the world to speed up processing at checkout. Barcodes have also found utility in healthcare and hospitals for patient identification.

However, in order for barcodes to function, we need to have a reader that can decode and interpret the barcode reliably.

This Barcode reader uses and Arduino development board to interpret the data scanned by the barcode reader and displays it on a 16 x 2 LCD display.
The system makes use of a barcode reader module to scan barcodes and output the code. This data is passed on to the Arduino via a serial input. This code is decoded by arduino and displayed on an interfaced 16 x 2 LCD display module.

The system allows for displaying the scanned barcodes for testing and troubleshooting of barcode based systems.
