MeldCX, an enterprise software solution provider that transforms the process of building and deploying apps for single-purpose devices, announced a partnership with Kastus to use antimicrobial screen protectors on touchscreen kiosk devices, according to a press release. 

Kastus' patented antimicrobial touchscreen surface coating blocks up to 99.99% of surface harmful bacteria and delivers "always on" antimicrobial protection to shared touchscreens and personal devices, such as tablets and smartphones, according to the company. The company also claims it has been proven to be effective against the human coronavirus.

MeldCX will soon make public access to its new AI driven compliance and safety focused feature, Project SAMi (Surface Awareness Management Intelligence), which allows monitoring, control and cleaning of any surface or otherwise in conjunction with this new partnership. The new feature can be used by customers and system integrators.

Project SAMi, in conjunction with the 24/7 antimicrobial touchscreen surface coating in partnership with Kastus will monitor and protect unattended kiosks in the healthcare, hospitality and retail industries.
