BrainyBins® Radar sensors

Intelligent sensors for your waste bins and containers

Intelligent sensors for your waste bins and containers

BrainyBins® Radar sensors monitor the container position, lid position, temperature, signal quality, battery voltage and fill level of your containers and double-checks the collected data. This data is wirelessly transmitted instantly to the web-based BrainyBins® platform, which processes and analyses this data, and provides forecasts for upcoming emptying’s.

Based on this data, decisions are made regarding emptying or efficient use of waste containers. Decisions about emptying times, adding containers, or adding fractions are made in the future only based on data, which can reduce operating costs by up to 50% and significantly reduce fuel, CO2and NOx emissions. The BrainyBins® platform itself provides a recommendation for emptying times and an optimised emptying route.

At the same time as the savings, you will have satisfied customers, as the containers will no longer overflow to their inconvenience, and your green profile will be enhanced. Now, there is time for good service, reporting to the authorities, and billing is done (almost) automatically.
