OSCAR from adhoc networks is the world’s smallest, smart, waste sensor module, measuring a mere 71- x 43- x 28-mm. The optics can measure up to 4m within a container with a cone angle of 27° to determine the fill level. The company’s waste sensor modules are the key to its automated, fill-level detection and collection scheduling technology for local authorities and private companies that can reduce unnecessary collection trips to containers that are only partly filled.
“Knowing the exact level in every container ensures that there are no wasted collections of part filled containers and, even more importantly, no overflowing containers,” explained Ole Ostermann, adhoc networks’ CEO. “Our approach is the perfect solution for monitoring the new generation of waste containers that are larger and discretely located below ground level. These are not currently easy to check the fill level apart from lifting a lid so they are usually emptied more often than necessary just to be sure, but that is a waste of resources.”
The OSCAR waste sensor uses a Nordic Semiconductors’ nRF9160 SiP to collate data and send it to the Cloud over the mobile network LTE-M and Narrowband-IoT. It has a low power need so its 3.6-V Li-Thionyl Chloride battery has an operational life of up to five years based on, typically, twelve fill measurements a day and three uplinks of the data to the Cloud.4th Editonal of International Conference on Sensing Technology | 27-28 Mar 2023 | Malaysia
