Waste bin monitoring

Value proposition

Measure remotely the waste material filling level in a bin

Competitive advantage

The sensors are ultrasonic, robust, water and shock resistant, fully functional within wide temperature range.

Service description

The sensor is installed in a bin and measures its filling by the echo of an ultra-sonic ping. The data is retrievable from an IoT platform and is a prediction of the moment of recollection once the bin is filled (or empty). On a location map the filling of all the monitored bins is visible. Combined with a route planner of the truck fleet the administration of the service can optimized since the recollection routes are only planned for filled/empty bins.
The GPS coordinates of the bin are transmitted to the systems via mobile App when the street sweeper tours the city and spots a bin.
