An agricultural seed box washing device and method includes a modular enclosure having a washing area having a stationary first spray array and a second spray array movable transverse to the path of travel of the seed box for washing all six geometric sides of the seed box. The device includes a two-directional conveyor that allows the seed box to cycle back and further through the first spray array for multiple passes through the spray arrays.

A system for cleaning a container such as semiconductor wafer carrier includes a housing, a cleaning unit in the housing, an analyzing unit within the housing, and a vacuum unit within the housing. The cleaning unit comprises a cleaning chamber, and is configured to spray a cleaning medium into the container in the cleaning chamber and dry the container. The analyzing unit is configured to analyze air inside the container coming out of the cleaning chamber, and provide a testing result for each ingredient of possible airborne molecular contamination (AMC) and humidity. The vacuum unit comprises a vacuum chamber configured to apply vacuum onto a container when the testing result for an ingredient is higher than a respective threshold.

A laundry transport apparatus and method includes a container defining an interior area configured to accommodate a plurality of laundry carts, the container having a door movable between closed and open configurations to selectively allow access to said interior area. The apparatus includes a ventilation network to pass air to and from the interior area, the ventilation network including a pathogen identification and containment apparatus to detect, isolate and treat potentially harmful material within the soiled laundry. The laundry transport apparatus includes a self-cleaning assembly operable to spray cleaning solution upon the laundry carts if a pathogen detected. The laundry transport apparatus includes a solar module to power electrical systems and a conveyor assembly for convenient movement of a plurality of laundry carts. The laundry transport apparatus includes personal protective equipment that has been decontaminated using dry heat.

A system may automatically conduct hygiene cycles for a confined space such an interior space of a box suitable for storing and/or carrying packaged food. The system may include a hygiene device that can be attached to the box to conduct the hygiene cycles and a user interface device that can wirelessly communicate with the hygiene device to control the conduction of the hygiene cycles. The system may also automatically collect information related to the hygiene cycles using the hygiene device and transmit the collected information to a network directly or through the user interface device.

A cage orienting apparatus for use in an object cleaning and filling system includes a first conveyor device; a second conveyor device; and a rotating mechanism, operatively connected to the first conveyor device and the second conveyor device, configured to rotate the first conveyor device and the second conveyor device 180. The first conveyor device and the second conveyor device being positioned such that the first conveyor device and the second conveyor device are substantially parallel.
