Abstract: The Smart System for Footwear Disinfection and Moisture Removal is an automated solution designed to enhance hygiene and comfort by eliminating harmful microorganisms and excess moisture from footwear. Traditional methods rely on manual cleaning and air drying, which are often time-consuming and ineffective in preventing bacterial and fungal growth. The system integrates sensors to detect moisture levels and utilizes technologies such as UV sterilization, heat drying, and air circulation, all controlled through an embedded microcontroller. Real-time monitoring ensures optimal disinfection and drying, while automated operation provides a convenient and efficient user experience. By combining hygiene-focused technology with intelligent control, this compact and cost effective system transforms conventional footwear care into a smart, continuous process that reduces odor, prevents infections, extends footwear lifespan, and promotes overall foot health.
