Smart waste bins equipped with dual sensors (weight + fill-level) and connected via NB-IoT or LoRaWAN networks enable real-time monitoring and efficient trash collection. These technologies are ideal for large-scale environments like airports and malls due to their long-range, low-power capabilities.
Challenge
Inefficient Collection Routes: Janitors waste time checking bins that may be empty or underfilled.
Limited Visibility: No centralized system to monitor bin status across a large property.
Connectivity Constraints: Traditional Wi-Fi or cellular networks may not cover all areas reliably.
Solution
Dual-Sensor Smart Bins: Measure both trash volume (fill-level) and weight for more accurate status reporting.
NB-IoT & LoRaWAN Connectivity: Ensure low-power, wide-area communication even in hard-to-reach zones.
Cloud-Based Dashboard: Real-time alerts and analytics for route planning and performance tracking.
Results
Optimized Manpower Usage: Janitors focus only on bins that need servicing, reducing labor hours.
