How Our Smart Bins Work

Infographic illustrating the process of BinCycle's smart waste bins: waste deposit, sensor detection, data transmission via IoT, cloud processing, dashboard update, and optimized collection.

Our smart recycling bins are more than just containers; they are integral nodes in an intelligent waste management network. Equipped with advanced sensors and connectivity, they provide real-time insights, revolutionizing collection logistics and waste segregation.

Key Features:

  • IoT Sensors: Ultrasonic fill-level sensors detect bin capacity, ensuring timely collection.
  • Waste Identification: Optional AI-powered cameras can identify common contaminants, alerting users to incorrect disposal.
  • Robust Connectivity: Utilizes low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN) like LoRaWAN and NB-IoT for reliable data transmission in urban and rural settings.
  • Long Battery Life: Optimized power consumption ensures bins operate for years on a single charge.

We prioritize your data security and privacy. All data transmitted from our bins is encrypted end-to-end, and housed on secure cloud servers complying with strict data protection regulations.

Smart Bin Process - Step-by-Step:

1. Deposit Waste

Users deposit waste into the designated smart bin compartment.

2. Sensor Detection

Internal ultrasonic sensors measure the fill level and an optional AI camera detects waste type.

3. Data Transmission

Bin data (fill level, contamination) is securely transmitted via LoRaWAN/NB-IoT to our cloud platform.

4. Cloud Processing

Our backend analyzes the data, identifies trends, and processes alerts.

5. Dashboard Update

Clients view real-time data and analytics on their secure BinCycle dashboard.

6. Optimized Collection

Collection routes are dynamically optimized based on real-time fill levels, reducing costs and emissions.
