Project Scope
Smart MAT Corporation is seeking an interdisciplinary engineering team to design, develop, and validate a functional prototype of an Autonomous Biosecurity Threshold System (ABTS).
Smart MAT is a digital, autonomous, biosecurity threshold system engineered to proactively prevent cross-contamination across the threshold by eliminating and neutralizing BioThreats and BioBurdens before they spread from exterior to interior spaces.
The prototype shall be engineered to manage the threshold’s liminal space where people transition from exterior to interior spaces through a managed, controlled, intelligent, responsive, protective, secured, and surveilled autonomous biosecurity system.
The engineering team shall design an autonomous biosecurity threshold system by integrating filtered Far-UVC 222 nm technology, autonomous sensing, embedded electronics, control logic, power management, mechanical design, safety systems, weather-resistant and anti-slip materials, eco-amiable and sustainable design principles, manufacturing methods, and complete system integration into a fully functional engineering prototype.
The prototype shall demonstrate the complete autonomous operational sequence:
Detect → Neutralize → Protect
Step On → Step Off → Step In
Primary Engineering Objectives
Design an autonomous biosecurity threshold system suitable for flush-to-door placement or embedded installation for exterior and interior applications.
Integrate filtered Far-UVC 222 nm technology into the prototype architecture.
Integrate autonomous sensing, activation, and system control to detect the presence of footwear, initiate the neutralization cycle, complete the programmed operation, and automatically reset for the next user.
Design a safe, serviceable, weather-resistant, anti-slip, eco-amiable, and sustainable engineering solution.
Accommodate future identification, classification, detection, and verification technologies.
Build, test, and validate a fully functional engineering prototype.
Demonstrate consistent autonomous operation, repeatable performance, and operational safety.
The sponsor will provide the problem definition, product vision, operational behavior, user experience, engineering requirements, research, concept renderings, images, videos, presentation materials, reference documentation, and performance objectives. The engineering team will determine the most appropriate engineering implementation, prototype fabrication, testing, validation, and technical documentation.
