Smart Waste Bins
Description
Along with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), waste management has appeared as a serious issue. Waste management is a daily task in urban areas, which requires a large amount of labour resources and affects natural, budgetary, efficiency, and social aspects.
To make the cities greener, safer, and more efficient, Internet of Things (IoT) can play an important role. Improvement in safety and quality of life can be achieved by connecting devices, vehicles and infrastructure all around in a city.
Benefits
- Reduce operational costs by streamlining waste collection through the use of sensors embedded with LoRa Technology
- Keep implementation and maintenance costs low, as wireless, battery-powered sensors can be placed on existing waste bins. Batteries can last up to 20 years without being replaced
- Reliable RF communication link between sensing infrastructure and LoRaWAN-based network provides excellent coverage
- Keeps cities cleaner by preventing waste bin overflow
