Hardware & Sensors
Fill Level Sensor
Monitor the fullness level, temperature and location of waste containers in real time with the wireless Evreka Sensor UG-03.
The sensor works for any form of container and sends its data to the Evreka platform automatically, so resource planning can be done at the most efficient level.

Fill Level Monitoring
Know how full every container is
A long-range ultrasonic transducer measures the fullness level of the container.
Temperature and Fire
Detect incidents as they happen
Temperature and motion data are fused with the fullness level, so the cloud platform can detect important incidents such as fire.
Movement and Location
Spot location changes and sudden movements
Motion sensors detect location changes or sudden movements of waste containers, and users get informed via alarms.
Alerts and Notifications
Real-time alerts by SMS and email
Alarms are set via the web-based system to inform you about detected incidents, with SMS and email notifications.
The Challenge
Overflowing containers
Overflowing bins lead to pollution, odor and unhappy customers.
Fill Level Sensor fix: monitors fill level, temperature and location, with SMS and e-mail alerts so overflows are handled early.
Missed collections
Traditional systems often fail to ensure every bin is emptied on time.
Fill Level Sensor fix: fill-level data shows which containers need emptying, so collections happen when they should.
Unnecessary trips to bins that are not yet full
Sending vehicles to bins that are not full increases operational costs and carbon emissions.
Fill Level Sensor fix: data-driven schedules and resource allocation, with up to 20% fuel savings and 15% less vehicle usage.
Capacity blind spots at MRF facilities
Facilities handling bulk waste struggle to optimize capacity and track incoming volumes.
Fill Level Sensor fix: seamless communication with MRF facilities helps facilities and their clients handle incoming volumes more efficiently.
What You Gain
Discover the opportunities of the Fill Level Sensor
Monitor fill level with container tracking
Know the fullness level of every container, measured with a long-range ultrasonic transducer.
Manage resource planning at the most efficient level
Fullness, temperature and location data for every container make efficient resource planning possible.
Eliminate overflows and loss of containers
Stay in control of container status and location, and avoid overflow issues and lost containers.
Get notifications and real-time alerts
Set alarms in the web-based system and receive SMS and email notifications about detected incidents.
Enjoy route optimization
Use the container data for route optimization and better productivity.
Control temperature, movement and location
Complete control on the temperature, movement and location of every container.
The sensor measures 4 data points:
How It Works
From the container to the cloud platform
The sensor fuses its measurements and sends them to the Evreka servers over GSM, LoRa or NB-IoT, so you can check all gathered data at any time from any device connected to the Internet.
Sensing on the container
An ultra-durable casing embeds several sensors. Fullness is measured with a long-range ultrasonic transducer and fused with temperature and motion data, so the cloud platform can detect important incidents.
Alerts on the platform
Fullness, temperature, movement and location data reach the Evreka servers automatically. Set alarms in the web-based system and get informed about incidents by SMS and email.
