Products
- CleanCUBE: A smart solar-powered waste compacting bin. Embedded sensors measure the bin fill-level in real-time and trigger automated compaction of waste, effectively increasing the bin capacity by 500% - 700%. Using 4G wireless telecommunication technology, real-time data from CleanCUBEs is sent to Ecube Labs' online platform (CleanCityNetworks), allowing remote monitoring of bin status and fill-levels. The CleanCUBE boasts optional features such as LED back-lit advertisement panels.
- CleanFLEX: A wireless sensor that measures a container's fill-level in real time. The device is battery powered and can be attached to any type of container to monitor any type of waste. Using 4G wireless telecommunication technology, CleanFLEX sends real-time data to CleanCityNetworks platform.
- CleanCityNetworks (CCN): An integrated waste management platform designed to optimize the efficiency of waste collection. CCN provides a comprehensive collection of historical data and analytics reports. It also allows users to monitor CleanCUBEs and CleanFLEX-equipped containers in real-time. In addition to CCN notifying users when and where collection is required in real-time, its predictive algorithms generate schedules for future collections. CCN also helps drivers by optimizing routes for each collection.[citation needed]
