Hamilton Security Launches UVC Light Kit, Antimicrobial Carrier for Drive-through Banking

Hamilton Security has today announced a new UVC light kit and antimicrobial carrier as part of its infection prevention solutions that will help financial institutions protect employees, customers and assets amid the COVID-19 crisis. The UVC light kit and antimicrobial carrier provide a quick disinfection process between customer transactions at bank and credit union drive-throughs, reducing the risk of the coronavirus spreading to customers and employees.

“As a trusted security provider in the industry, Hamilton has been working with banks and credit unions globally to deliver security enhancements to their infrastructure in response to the pandemic,” said John Stroia, president of Hamilton Security.“Our new universal antimicrobial carrier and UVC light kit for Hamilton’s XLR system are an effective way these institutions can help reduce the transmission of any bacteria or virus at the drive-through. They add yet another layer of protection to keep customers and employees safe while utilizing drive-up services.”

Hamilton’s new UVC light kit and antimicrobial carrier facilitate the safe exchange of cash and physical goods by reducing the spread of germs and other pathogens. The UVC light technology combined with the antimicrobial agents in the cylinders offer a complete UVC drive-up solution for banking infection prevention needs.

Ultraviolet C Light technology integrated into the pneumatic tube system kills disease-causing microorganisms by disrupting their DNA. The UVC light reduces the transmission of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens at drive-throughs, keeping tellers and customers safe during the automated transfer of cash and documents.

Antimicrobial agents added to the polyamine resin of the pneumatic tube canister control the growth of bacteria, including E. coli, staphylococcus, fungus and algae. The universal antimicrobial carrier lowers the risk of spreading germs to people sending or receiving cash and goods through a pneumatic tube system.

The UVC light kit can be selected for retrofit within existing Hamilton HA-1000 XLRs as well as a complete solution for new installation. The antimicrobial carrier is available in standard and custom sizes to fit virtually any existing pneumatic tube system.

The infection prevention solutions complement Hamilton’s existing drive-up and walk-up solutions that are helping customers maintain social distancing and a safer workplace across branches, stores, and facilities with interdepartmental logistics operations such as municipal buildings, casinos, medical dispensaries, pharmacies, hospitals, manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution centers.

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
