Smart Waste measures the fill level of every bin — with ultrasonic, weight and liquid-level sensors. Only full bins get collected: live map, "full in ~X h" predictions, optimized routes and export straight to the driver’s phone.
Opens the demo environment — simulated fill levels, no account needed.
Smart Waste is the waste app in the urbanOS ecosystem: sensors give you full control over every bin plus deep analytics — as a control layer over your existing route system, or with its own route optimization. Live, predictive, exportable. Integrations and extensions are always possible.
Fixed collection schedules visit every bin — including the half-empty ones. With full control over real fill levels and the right analytics you cut kilometres, hours and CO₂ — as oversight for your existing route system or with its own optimization.
Instead of rigid rounds, only the full bins get visited. Optimized routes save trips, fuel and staff hours — with the same or a better streetscape.
Set the threshold once, e.g. "collect from 80%" — Smart Waste alerts automatically and predicts when a bin will be full. Overflowing bins and complaints become history.
Kilometres saved, stops skipped, less CO₂: route analytics make the benefit visible — for operations, treasury and committees.
A fixed schedule visits all 20 bins, however full they are. Smart Waste knows the fill level of each one and sends the vehicle only to the bins that are full — or, according to the AI forecast, about to be.
Because the route adapts daily to real fill levels and forecasts, a rigid duty becomes demand-driven collection — shorter runs, fewer empty trips, no overflowing bins.
In the app, every route openly shows which bins were visited for their fill level and which were skipped.
Every screenshot shows the real product from urbanOS — from the live map with traffic-light bins to route export on the phone.
The live map shows every container with a traffic-light pin: red = full, amber = filling up, green = empty. On real map tiles (HERE Maps), instantly readable.
Smart Waste predicts "full in ~X h" for every bin — from its typical fill curve. A priority list shows what comes first.
Set the threshold once — say "collect from 80%". From then on Smart Waste raises alerts, forecasts and prioritized lists automatically. No manual checking.
From the full bins Smart Waste plans the optimal collection route. Route analytics show kilometres saved, stops skipped and time saved.
Route history, trends and outliers at a glance — see where runs get longer, where mistakes happen and where you can still save.
Smart Waste spots containers that haven’t been emptied in a long time — sorted by standing time, with a risk flag. Prevent odour, pests and complaints before they happen.
Big rounds stay efficient — remote sensors and problem spots get targeted special routes. You see where extra effort is needed instead of driving it blind.
The same city, read four ways: full bins on the map, the optimized route, the forecast and the sensor coverage — on real HERE map tiles.
Smart Waste supports several sensor types — you choose what fits the container. All of them measure fill level only, no personal data.
The UDS-HKT LoRaWAN ultrasonic sensor measures the distance to the surface — and with it the fill level. Robust, low-maintenance, for most containers.
Weight sensors capture the actual load in the container — ideal where volume is misleading, e.g. for heavy or compacted waste.
Level sensors such as the Teneo measure liquid levels — for containers where ultrasonic reaches its limits.
In the app, every route openly shows which bins were visited for their fill level and which were skipped.
Every urbanOS app inherits the platform underneath it. You never buy an island.
GDPR-compliant, ISO-certified, hosted in Germany. Your city's data stays your city's data.
Standard IoT sensors over LoRaWAN and existing networks. Deployment takes days, not months.
Add or remove apps as your city's needs change. The platform and your data stay in place.
A complete pilot setup — sensors, gateway, app and support in one package. Configure the exact scope and price yourself in the urbanOS calculator, including recommended sensors. Integrations with existing systems and extensions are always possible.
Included in the packageThe open demo runs on simulated fill levels: live map with traffic-light bins, forecast, thresholds, optimized routes and route analytics. No account — it’s the same app our cities use.
