The innovative design features of nPod equipment allow for the ultimate in flexibility when mounting the device on any type of surface.
At our platform, we know that remote monitoring of the occupancy level is only useful when the sensors are optimally positioned and offer systematic and accurate measurements. Our innovative system can be mounted on the side wall of many bins or silos ensuring that the device measures the waste flow accurately.
The dual ultrasound design with which the device works increases its efficiency. The nPod is quick and easy to install using two stainless steel screws. The sensors operate with ultrasound and are locked in place securely. Shocks and breaks of the bucket will not change its locked position, while the extremely elastic durable polycarbonate material from which it is made, provides protection from advanced electronic means.
The nPod was developed in collaboration with a world leader in bin design and we know it will withstand the most adverse environments for years to come. Tested on multiple types of bins through a range of temperatures the nPod consistently and accurately performs the function of measuring the fullness of the waste daily.
