The Summox One introduces a completely new approach to infection prevention in dental care. By combining washing, disinfecting, sterilising, documenting and sealing into a single smart system, it creates a more efficient process with fewer manual steps. Thanks to RFID recognition, smart software and automated process steps, the entire workflow is intelligently managed. This not only increases operational efficiency but also improves safety and reliability.
The technology reduces the risk of cross-contamination, supports traceability and ensures comprehensive process documentation. The Summox One therefore contributes to a safer working environment for staff and better care for patients.
GBO was closely involved in the development of the machine and the smart container right from the concept phase. The focus was on ease of use, interaction with the various process steps and the design of the overall system.
Through a series of concept studies, we investigated how instruments could be made safe, intuitive and efficient to access during the cleaning process. This resulted in a container concept featuring a central support structure and removable components for optimal cleanability. In addition, we developed the user experience and the interaction between the user, the instruments and the machine.

“Our collaboration with GBO has made a significant contribution to the development of the Summox One System. Their expertise in design and engineering helped us to translate complex technical challenges into practical and scalable solutions. Thanks to the combination of technical knowledge and a strong focus on usability and manufacturability, we have jointly developed a product that is ready for the future of dental care.”
