In an urban environment with increasing needs for efficient waste management, our client was looking for an advanced solution for monitoring their underground containers.
Filling level monitor for the Municipality of Rotterdam

Approach
To make the IoT implementation as accessible as possible, this project is based on an extension of Multisensor. By using the Multisensor design we can realize a new customized solution in a short time. Two different types of distance sensors have been added to the Multisensor design. In this way, it can be tested in practice which gives the best results in various scenarios such as weather and temperature influences, filling level and use of the container and risk of vandalism.
The new sensors were tested in practice through a pilot. During the pilot it became clear that both the placement and the measurement results were very useful for the collection team.
In this case we have developed a customized solution for measuring the filling level in this specific type of waste bin. Read how we work
Result
The result is a further developed prototype that can be prepared for the first series production.
- The housing design is such that the sensor can withstand the environmental conditions of an underground container: IP68 and impact resistant.
- The measured values provide an accurate representation of the filling level of the waste bin based on 16 distance measurements
- The sensor offers the possibility to detect emptying of the bin, so that the operation can be properly monitored online
- The sensor communicates the sensor information several times an hour
- The system automatically generates notifications when abnormalities are detected.
- All information from all bins is monitored 24/7 and brought together in one clear online cockpit.
This allows parties that manage the waste bins to work more efficiently.
