Quamtra_V1: Volumetric Measurement Sensor for Waste Containers
Quamtra_v1 is the monitoring device installed inside the containers and completely autonomous and self-sufficient, it is responsible for collecting the data associated with the filling of the container as well as for detecting real-time events associated with temperature alerts and shaking, in this way each container is turned into an active and intelligent element.
Operation
The data is reported wirelessly (2G/3G/4G/LPWA technologies as LoRa/SigFox/NB IoT) and stored on a Cloud Computing infraestructure managed by Wellness Smart Cities & Solutions. The measurements are stored in the Quamtra data repository and are displayed to the end user through the web service created for this purpose.
Hardware Features
The Quamtra_V1 sensors are equipped with a case with fire retardant properties that allows attachment to the container by bolts or rivets, thus preventing its fall during the collection process.
To withstand the conditions of the environment where it will be installed, the device has IP66 protection. In addition the material can set the colour of the case in order to merge it with the environment where it will be displayed. From the information reported by our sensors we are able to avoid overflowing the contents, avoid collecting almost empty containers, reduce the number of hours of trucks on the street, the emission of gases and, ultimately, adapt the resources according to the needs of the service.
