Industrial cleaning workers may have to deal with warm steam and moist conditions, which can cause protective eyewear to become foggy due to condensation. This problem reduces visibility and may cause accidents or inefficiency.
The aim of the thesis was to develop a conceptual design of a compact, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film based, heated antifogging goggles system and its prototype. The device consists of an Arduino Nano, a temperature sensor, and a rechargeable Li ion battery to regulate surface warming and ensure a clear view at high temperature, high humidity exhibits.
The proposed device delivers lightweight, energy efficient, and safely operable in continuous use conditions, and its eco friendly design aligned with sustainability and the Circular economy, specifically material recyclability and modular design.
Tests revealed that the device can de-fog quickly and regulate temperature effectively. The study proves that ITO based heating with microcontroller control system is a promising, reliable solution to long-lasting problems caused by fogging in industrial safety spectacles.
