Filling sensors Sample Clauses

Filling sensors. Currently, the MSW collection is based on predefined routes based on experience. This causes unnecessary costs and over use of the equipment. Occasionally, empty containers are collected, and other full containers are overlooked, producing extra costs for the waste collection and neighbourhood complaints. Because of this, a tool that allows to know in advance the filling level of the containers seems a priori advantageous. ICT offers an innovative way to address these issues by giving instant access to the information, in remote locations and at a relatively low cost6. A filling sensor is an autonomous electronic system, powered by batteries, installed in a collection container to know the filling percentage of the container.
