With the spread of deadly virus such as Covid-19, which is so far incurable and mainly transferrable through touch and contact, only precautionary measures are considered to prevent it. As per the guidelines of WHO, provided for Corona Virus, washing hands and sanitizing them frequently is one of the prime effective solutions. There are hundreds of other contagious diseases that spread through the contact of hands. In addition to that, sterilization of accessories such as mobile phone, keys, wallet etc. with least manual intervention is also need of the time. There are separate systems available in the market but there is no compact system that contains all the necessary features on single platform. Therefore, taking all these factors into consideration, this project proposes a novel design of one-stop compact touch-less station for hand washing, sanitization, and manual sterilization. The hand hygiene prototype works on a very low power of 12v. It avoids contact of people with system to get Water, Soap and Sanitizer. This prototype based on the range of 4cm to 18cm from which 4 to 8cm is for soap, 12 to 14cm for sanitizer and 16 to 18cm for water according to defined ranges the prototype is properly working and it is also showing a 20 second timer after the user takes soap. This prototype may prove to be helpful in controlling the hygiene standards in private as well as public places like Educational Institutes, Hospitals, Malls, Offices, Mosque, Railway Stations and all other places where human intervention is involved. This device is helpful for controlling the blowout of transmittable infections.
