How the SmartTrash® Monitor works
A non-invasive monitor installs on any compactor and draws power from the machine itself — no separate power supply, no network cabling.
| Compactor Type | Any (including auger-style) |
|---|---|
| Horsepower Range | 5 to 30 HP |
| Electrical Supply | 12–24V DC or 120–250V AC |
| Connection Cable | 5 ft (1.5 m) |
| Dimensions | 4.5 × 2.6 × 1.6 in (11.4 × 6.5 × 4 cm) |
| Shipping Weight | 3 lbs (1.4 kg) |
Measures Energy, Not Pressure
Instead of pressure sensors that drift and fail, SmartTrash® measures the compactor’s energy draw to determine fullness — a learning-by-doing system that optimizes after every cycle and runs self-diagnostics to catch problems early.
Communicates From Anywhere
SmartTrash® monitors stay in touch from virtually anywhere — even three floors underground in a concrete garage. They use private cellular data networks and require no connection to your onsite WiFi or LAN.
Access Your Data Anytime, Anywhere
A single dashboard runs on any phone, tablet, or computer with a web browser. Track fullness, review haul history, and pull savings reports on demand.
Secure by Design
Every SmartTrash® system is built security-first. Monitors transmit only machine-performance data — with little or no third-party value — over private cellular networks (NB-IoT / Cat-M1 on 4G & 5G LTE networks), so they never touch your building's WiFi or LAN. Data moves through a credentialed UDP message system and lands in a SQL database that's siloed behind a firewall and never exposed directly to the internet. The user application is reachable only over an authenticated HTTPS connection.
