According to related statistics, the world's annual production of more than 1.3 billion tons of waste, by 2100 this figure will jump to 40 million tons, will only produce 230 million tons of garbage each year in the United States. According to estimated market research and consulting firm Navigant Research, and by the end of 2025, the market value of the global smart waste management technology is expected to reach $ 234 million. With the development of the Internet of Things, sensor technology, networking revolution offers many opportunities for us to solve the world's waste management problem.
Currently there are more and more cities abroad, through the use of various types of smart sensor technology to achieve effective treatment of urban energy, thereby improving and upgrading the urban environment. Currently the world has formed several intelligent waste management systems, including those based trash sensor, such as: foreign companies and related application cases of some things waste management solutions:
Hanover, Germany is using this intelligent trash system, will be used to reduce costs and optimize solid waste management systems, network technology used by the system of things in this case is IPv6.
Minnesota's Harmony Enterprises Company in its SmartPack Trash Compactor in the M2M technology to intelligently manage waste, and wireless, sensor-based technology is installed in a garbage can. These bins can give notice to the local garbage collector when it is full immediately.
Compology bins within the same built-in sensors that are capable of real-time data to the company Compology based software interface of things, transportation can make decisions accordingly.
From the above case according to the intelligent hopper capacity is automatically generated alerts, and these bins having a smart sensor is connected to the GPS. Whenever quickly filled with trash, you will notice. In this way, you can in the garbage scattered on the ground before the garbage-collected and transported to the recycling plant. Next, the Mining Xiaobian will be a brief introduction of two ultrasonic sensors for intelligent monitoring of the trash.
We know that ultrasound has a variety of excellent high frequency, wave length, and good direction and other basic features, ultrasonic testing is widely used in transportation, industrial, medical and other fields. Currently, many ultrasonic sensors are used to detect indirectly a level, proximity detection and crash protection related applications.
Trash MaxBotix ultrasonic sensor network to provide the Mining - MB7139 trash is a method for detecting weather resistance capacity ultrasonic sensor. This sensor is recommended sensor we tested in the trash. High acoustic power output and the continuously variable gain, real-time auto-calibration, noise suppression algorithms, etc., can effectively achieve noise-free distance readings. And another South Korean Ecube labs ultrasonic sensors trash - Clean CAP Plus it has the following characteristics:
It can be installed on various bins or containers
CleanCAP filled degree sensor may be mounted on various bins or containers. If the container is made of plastic, the sensor can be fixed to the container by a screw. If the container is made of metal, the inductor can be mounted on the container by a bracket.
Solid liquid material induction
Clean CAP ultrasonic sensor may sense a solid (general waste, paper, glass, electronic waste, textiles, etc.) and liquid (oil, sludge, agricultural products, etc.). Sensing distance up from 30 cm to 400 cm (4 m / 13 ft)
And wireless exchange of data management platform
Clean CAP using the 2G / 3G wireless data transmission network to send real-time information to the Clean Cities network monitoring data management platform to ensure that our customers can through intelligent planning and decision-making garbage collection.
Designed for harsh environments customized to ensure durability
Clean CAP functionality and battery life have passed various tests. It is completely free from dust or water, the battery life of up to 10 years, the working temperature range from -30 degrees C (-22 degrees F) to 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit).
