Innovative Design

InSight technology consists of four core components: 60L Method bins, weight sensors, data analysis, and the software. Each time a piece of rubbish is dropped into a sensor-enabled bin, it is converted into data, providing a detailed overview of your organisation’s waste.

Smart Waste Technology

InSight is an IoT product designed to measure the waste output of an organisation. The sensor system (accurate to within 100 grams), captures granular data in near real-time and transforms it into meaningful information. This makes it easier than ever to understand, action, and achieve your waste reduction and reporting goals.

Dynamic Dashboard Display

The team-facing dashboard provides easy-to-understand data on your organisation’s waste. You can show waste metrics in a digital display near the bin station, or online. For instance, you can share total landfill diversion and weekly comparisons, a leaderboard for gamification between teams, and rotating recycling tips to inform and engage.

Battery Conservation

At only 4cm high, the InSight sensor sits discreetly under any 60L Method bin with each station running on a single rechargeable battery.

Batteries are designed to hold charge for 6 - 12 months. To conserve battery life, data is only sent to the cloud hourly, providing waste management data in near real-time.

Retrofittable & Modular

The modular design of InSight means it can grow with your organisation’s changing needs. From a single bin, to many bins in a station, a simple connector joins units making it easy to expand your bin network and waste streams.

Secure Cellular Connection

InSight is connected to the cloud via a secure LTE cellular network which means the device does not operate, or rely on, a building’s Wi-Fi network. Along with relevant security certificates, two-factor portal authentication, and obfuscation of device data, InSight offers superior IoT security.
