ABSTRACT

World Health Organization suggested the primary steps to eradicate illness episodes including COVID infection 2019 (COVID-19, coronavirus), such as using disinfectants, safe drinking water, waste treatment, cleanliness conditions, and most importantly ensuring human well-being. Ensuring proper waste management and washing practices in homes, workplaces, medical services, and commercial gatherings will help reduce contamination and human-to-human transmission of microorganisms including SARS-CoV. This paper demonstrates a hygiene solution for the current pandemic due to COVID-19. An automated water dispenser dispenses water automatically and is controllable based on its position and level and the quantity required. It has programmed, embedded controller using Arduino integrated with ultrasound sensor and infrared sensors, and the actuators used are solenoid valve and single channel relay. The achieved volume of 350 mL per serve is calibrated by the proposed model. The operation of working model is simulated using TinkerCAD, a virtual automation tool.
