The Langlade County Sheriff’s Office has added a new tool to help clean and sanitize.
It’s a new RZero UVC robot, which uses ultraviolet light.
In a Facebook post, the department said it now has two of the UVC robots. They’re capable of cleaning 1000 square feet in just seven minutes. UVC robots can be used for cleaning squad cars, offices, jail cells and equipment.
The UVC cleaning technology is made possible through a Department of Justice grant.
The project’s goal is to keep a safe environment for re-opening the courthouse, and safe operations of the Langlade County Jail and Sheriff’s Office as they continue to navigate through 2020 and COVID-19.
In addition to helping in the fight against COVID-19, the sheriff’s office says UVC technology is gaining attention from hospital operating rooms as it cleans virtually everything in its path.
