Funded in 1998, and formally established in 2003, Woodward Laboratories’ Sensor Division was created to develop a sensor technology that solved the problems and shortcomings associated with infrared sensors common in many “Touch-Free” hygiene related devices, i.e. soap and sanitizer dispensers, faucets, etc. The result has been the development of a patented capacitive sensor technology whose initial application has been within Woodward’s patented PerfectPump Touch-Free Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser. Woodward’s PerfectPump Touch-Free Dispenser is at the heart of Woodward’s latest innovation called iHygiene. iHygiene is an intelligent Hygiene Management System capable of wirelessly monitoring compliance with corporate hand washing or hand hygiene policy.

Woodward Laboratories has developed, and continues to develop many products that earn recognition for quality and efficacy. Because of this, Woodward’s products enjoy broad retail appeal and are known for leadership within their respective retail categories. By linking superior antimicrobial products with new technologies, Woodward Laboratories continues to innovate new ways of providing a healthier way of living.
