Fill-level sensors and monitoring

Telemetry · Bunder Waste

Fill-level sensors measure how full each island node is in near real time: they show which points to empty first, flag overflow risk early and send vehicles only where service is needed, cutting empty runs and visible overfills. On request they integrate on Bunder bells, litter bins and accessories; options include Sensoneo sensors with data and alerts in CleanCityManager.

Function
Fill level, alerts and data for planning
Contexts
Underground, semi-underground, above-ground and accessories
Integration
Hardware and software on request per tender
Connected systems
Sotkis on APTO, Sensoneo/CleanCityManager, WasteMate and export to operator software

Performance and benefits

  • Fill level

    Telemetry

    priority on saturated nodes and fewer empty runs

    vs calendar-only collection

    Thresholds and history to plan interventions.

    • Overflow alerts before the island is full
    • Support for fewer empty collection runs
    • Useful data on tourism and high-variability nodes
  • Platform

    Integrated

    alerts can feed dispatch and route planning

    vs data stuck on a dashboard

    Export to operator management software.

    • Links to dispatch and vehicle planning
    • RFID access and Sotkis on APTO where specified
    • Pilot on a few nodes with measurable KPIs
  • Compatibility

    Bunder range

    sensors on Bunder underground, semi-underground, above-ground and accessories

    vs generic retrofit

    Configuration per tender and site context.

    • Underground and semi-underground bells, Bell-e and compactors
    • Secomat screening and ECOABRI shelters
    • Maintenance and connectivity defined in contract

Description

  • Fill levelLevel sensors, overflow alerts and history for seasonal analysis and high-variability nodes.
  • Access (optional)RFID, cards or readers coordinated with hatch opening and event logs, aligned with Sotkis on APTO.
  • PlatformExport to dispatch and route planning; levels in CleanCityManager (Sensoneo) or the operator’s existing management software.
  • CompatibilitySolutions for underground and semi-underground bells, above-ground Bell-e units, platforms, Secomat, ECOBAC and compacting litter bins.
  • PilotStart with 5–15 high-impact nodes and written KPIs before scaling the sensor network.
  • TenderConnectivity, power, maintenance, offline behaviour and data responsibilities; telemetry complements capacity and contractual frequencies, it does not replace them.

Applications and contexts

  • Compacting litter bin with telemetry for urban collection

    Route planning and fewer empty collection runs

  • Eco-island with chute and smart components for access and monitoring

    High-traffic nodes, tourism areas and markets with variable fill

  • APTO underground bell with smart integration on the chute

    Eco-islands with coordinated access control and telemetry

Frequently asked questions

No. Prioritise islands or litter bins with high fill variability, costly empty runs or tender requirements. Scale only after a pilot with measured indicators.

Not automatically. Level data supports decisions when the operator sets thresholds, intervention processes and minimum contractual or regulatory frequencies.

No. Fill monitoring and user identification to open the hatch are separate projects that can coexist on one island with coordinated hardware and software.

Share candidate islands or points, management platform (CleanCityManager or other) and goals (fewer empty runs, overflow alerts, PAYT). Bunder Waste aligns configuration, technical sheets and service level commercially.
