Possible Markets for Deployment
General Waste – Overflowing bins are unsightly and unhygienic. Premature collection of bins is a wasteful practice both in human resources and fuel as well as trash bags. Smart trashcans address all of these issues through the use of smart sensors.
Fresh Oil – Sensors installed in fresh oil receptacles will allow vendors to better serve clients. Clients benefit from just in time ordering. Vendors benefit from more intelligent planning and routing.
Waste Oil – Being able to monitor waste oil levels is just as important. If receptacles are full, business can come to a halt. Having smart sensors installed will ensure this never has to happen. Proper planning and disposal can now happen like clock work.
Textiles – Just like general waste, textile bins can benefit from monitoring. Having data on how full clothing bins are will save operations a lot of time and money.
Used Cooking Oil – From hotels and universities to restaurants and public schools; data on used cooking oil levels can help deliver a model of efficiency. As with all the aforementioned products, these solutions will save time and money and contribute to a smaller carbon footprint.
Secure Documents – Secure document collection is just one more market that can greatly benefit from better data. Optimize your routes and dazzle your customer with next level services that are never late or premature.
Recyclables – Recyclables provide perhaps one of the coolest and most innovative approach to waste monitoring and collection. Not only can fill levels be monitored as with the above listed products. These devices can also be equipped with bar code scanners enabling human interaction. This gives them the ability to help us determine which products can be collected for recycling in various areas and which are better suited for the waste bin. This not only provides for more opportunities to recycle, but reduces waste items from clogging up recycling operations further down stream.
