Abstract
A utility device for receiving and dispensing bills is disclosed. The utility device includes a sensor structured to detect a parameter associated with the bills received by the utility device, a cleaning component structured to perform a cleaning operation on one or more of the bills, and memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a utility operation. The utility operation includes receiving quality data from the sensor. The operations also include causing the cleaning component to perform the cleaning operation on one or more of the bills based on at least the quality data. The one or more bills represent a subset of bills available in a cash-bearing cassette, which remains operational throughout the cleaning operation. The operations also include transmitting a notification to a remote computing device in response to completing the utility operation.
