cheap,
-
fit 90% of bins,
-
works on all IoT networks,
-
choice between ultrasonic and ToF
-
cross-platform compatible and,
-
ready to be modified to solve your challenges.
Fill Level
Measurement
BrighterBins accurately measures the fill level of waste-wells, dustbins, containers, and other bins. It sends data through Sigfox, NB IoT, LoRa, and GSM to either our Smart Platform or a third-party platform.
Adaptability
We take pride in making solutions tailored to customer needs. Due to our open API and motivated team this is made easy for you. Do you have any problem we have yet to solve?
Installment, fit and configuration
Fits 90% of Bins
Our adjustable sensor design enables both side- and top-mount in bins.
The BrighterBins sensor is also 40/60% smaller than other sensors.
Both of these aspects allow a highly universal fit.
Plug-N-Play
2 steps to install in 15 minutes. Easily done with our installment manual and app.
1. Screw it on, using our readymade stencils. 2. Turn it on.
Unique adjustable tunnel for side and top mounts.
Configuration made easy
The configuration is done by scanning a QR-code on the sensor, adding it to your preferred system.
Effective wireless communication, even in closed metal bins.

2. Our Smart Platform
The BrighterBins' Smart Platform brings a scalable, easy to use, and advanced solution for use in hauling.
-
It informs route-planners on what to prioritize and deprioritize.
-
It gives higher management an overview of statistics, including suggestions and feedback on efficiency.
The platform does this through machine learning and algorithms.
Sensors installed on bins send data to the Smart Platform via Sigfox, NBIoT, GSM or LoRaWan network. The sensors can also send data directly to your platform or a third-party platform because of our open API.
Features
The platform for everyone
Accessibility and simplicity are the keys to making change easy.
At BrighterBins we don't want to overwhelm haulers with statistics, nor upper management with what turns their haulers should take next.
Our platform gives the right information to the right people, we do this through our different platform components.
Upper management
Route planners
Haulers
Through upper-management login, you will get a deeper look into your company's operations and efficiency.
We supply advanced data analytics to provide bi-annual reporting to municipalities and partners for better urban planning.
Sensor data and machine learning combined is a powerful tool for route planners.
The Smart Platform learns from your company's behavior and bin fill-levels. The Platform will predict and make suggested actions for holidays, events, and seasons based on previous experience.
Through our app haulers will get navigation and data analytics in the field. Navigation, routes, data, and communication with offices will all be features of our app.
Our app is currently in development, set to release in the summer of 2021.
Platform benefits
Fleet Management
Manage your fleet with ease. Track and communicate with haulers: dispatch jobs, get on-site reports, and more.
Real Time Routing for trucks
Route optimizing is crucial in cutting costs, through our app, we deliver real-time routing. Traffic data and fill-levels are used to help create the best route, skipping the empty and almost empty bins.
Forecasting
Our AI and algorithms will forecast fill levels based on experience. Identify seasonal trends and hidden patterns, and plan accordingly.
Data Integration API
Our sensors offer RESTful API, in other words, we provide seamless integration with third-party systems. The sensors can work with your current software or third-party systems.
The sensors provide data for analysis, visualization, and storage at your wish.
Notifications
The notification terminal monitors the health of sensors, bin conditions, and haulers. It keeps you updated on the status of your assets.
Reports & Analytics
Get an overview of emissions, fuel consumption, litter, and garbage trends. This data will help you in urban planning, aiding in creating sustainable and clean waste handling.
Zones
To effectively manage bin-pickups you can define zones of any shape and size. Zones are a way of organizing pickups, using average fill levels to pick up bins that are close to each other.
