SmartBin’s technology combines innovative wireless telemetry and web access technologies, measuring bin fill-level via infrared or ultrasonic technology sensors that determine the distance from the top of the waste to the top of the bin container. These extremely reliable and rugged sensors are located discreetly in the top of each bin and employ intelligent processing to eliminate the errors associated with random blocking events.

Sensor accuracy is tuned by using the appropriate technology for the material being measured. Wet or soft materials are not compatible with ultrasonic technologies and are required to use infrared measurement. SmartBin sensors measure a range of parameters, including bin fill level, bin empty events, battery level and other key parameters at set times during 24-hour cycles. That information is then sent via standard cellular networks to SmartBin’s host servers, which analyze the information received from the bins and processes it with application-specific software.

The SmartBins SmartManager Web interface provides a full service view of all monitored assets and a full suite of management reports, including alert SMS messages and e-mail. SmartManager is intuitively configured as the Map View tab provides a Google map with color-coded markers for each bin site, indicating the fill-level relative to user-established thresholds. This birds-eye view of bins under management allows clients to make intelligent fleet deployment decisions for collection.

A report tab allows users to generate bin utilization and bin efficiency reports for downloading if required for further analysis. Under the admin tab, users can assign resources together with specified service actions and working hours. Resources can then be assigned specific service actions or be set up to receive alerts by SMS or e-mail. This information is provided over the Internet, so there is no need for SmartBin clients to capitalize IT investments or learn special skills to adopt the service.
