Professional IoT Solutions 02. 62 B New generation of IoT Solutions 2.9 Waste Management Garbage collection is a challenge in modern cities. Sometimes, bins are processed too late –so bins overflow– which causes public health problems, animal pests, odors and displeasure among neighbors due to the degradation of the quality of life in the district. Other times, bins are collected too early –when there is still room for more waste– with the corresponding waste of fuel and money, and the increase of road occupation, traffic, pollution (air and noise) and stress among citizens. Our line Waste Management helps City Councils to find the sweet spot: not too much, not too little. Our nodes are installed inside the bins to detect the current fill level with ultrasonic sensors. Libelium offers 2 versions of the node: the “Normal” node and the “High Accuracy” node. Both nodes can transmit with Sigfox and LoRaWAN, and the latter features better accuracy thanks to its 4 ultrasonic beams instead of one; it also has more battery capacity (up to 7 years of operation).
