\"\"<\/a>As a growing number of municipalities and waste management companies are installing IoT-based fill-level sensors<\/a> to their waste containers in order to achieve savings through real-time monitoring<\/a> and optimized collection routes, you might be wondering if the sensors could boost your collection efficiency, as well.<\/p>\n

While there is no definite answer to the question of how much money the solution will save you compared to the costs, our experiences<\/a> have shown that fill-level sensors are capable of increasing operational efficiencies by up to 50%. However, not all waste containers have an equally high potential for cost reduction.<\/p>\n

In order to evaluate whether or not the solution could fit your needs, have a look below to understand the different variables that play a role in the optimization of waste collections through remote fill-level sensing.<\/p>\n

Bin location<\/h3>\n

The more far apart or remotely located your containers are, the better. Simply imagine driving half an hour to check whether a bin has become full, and you are greeted by a nearly empty container. By attaching a fill-level sensor to the container, you could check the situation remotely and perform a collection only when the bin is actually full.<\/p>\n

Ease of access<\/h3>\n

If gaining access to the container to check the fill-level is troublesome, you might be better off checking the situation remotely. Examples of containers with difficult access include underground dumpsters, septic tanks, oil tanks, and water towers.<\/p>\n

Filling pattern<\/h3>\n

If your containers’ filling patterns are static or easily predictable, you might find it very difficult to achieve savings through fill-level sensors. The more versatile and unpredictable the filling patterns are, the more sense it makes to monitor the containers remotely to ensure timely collections and to prevent waste overflows.<\/p>\n

Waste type<\/h3>\n

The containers with the highest potential for operational cost reduction using fill-level sensors typically hold non-decomposable waste materials, allowing collections to be postponed until the containers are at least 90% full – even if it takes several weeks.<\/p>\n

Container size<\/h3>\n

As long as the waste material is non-decomposable, a large container provides much greater potential for cost reduction compared to a small bin. Using Ecube Labs’ ultrasonic technology, the maximum depth for fill-level detection is 4 meters.<\/p>\n

Material value<\/h3>\n

The higher the value of the collected waste material, the more sense it makes to monitor the container’s fill-level and location remotely in order to ensure the recyclables are safe. Examples of high-value waste materials include electronic waste, clothes and textiles, and secure documents. In the event of theft, the software will send you an automatic push notification.<\/p>\n

Regulations<\/h3>\n

Collecting strictly regulated and hazardous waste is expensive and therefore ideal for fill-level monitoring. However, if your local government requires you to collect containers at a certain time-frequency, utilizing fill-level sensors can be impractical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
