Is It Full?

February 7, 2020 By Carol Scheafer

It seems like something so simple, but knowing whether or not something is full could save organizations around the world billions of dollars over time. Virtually every industry has some kind of need and/or use for this information.

Almost Every Industry Benefits From Fill Level Data

For those in the waste management industry, knowing which waste bins are empty allows waste management teams to optimize their routes and make the most of their time. Studies have shown that fill level sensors save waste management companies and municipalities 50% or more on waste management costs. This doesn’t even factor in the other benefits such as reduced traffic on the road, resulting in fewer traffic jams, traffic accidents, and CO2 emissions in the air. In addition to waste management, knowing whether something is full could potentially benefit every industry in the world.

In the hospitality industry, monitoring fill level helps ensure restaurants and restrooms stay fully stocked. This increases guest satisfaction and return rate. For smart cities, knowing whether parking spaces are full provides valuable data to city leaders, residents, and visitors. In the manufacturing industry, monitoring fill level of inventory bins helps detect when parts need to be reordered or restocked.

The oil and gas industry can use fill level data to improve production reporting and mitigate operation risk. Oil tank monitoring provides real-time data which allows businesses in the oil and gas industry to manage and report on production, improve transportation routes, and reduce environmental risks.

Fill Sensors

Mint Controls’ Fill Sensors provide a discreet, inexpensive, and reliable solution for tracking fill level of almost any material. The data collected by the Sensor is fully analyzed by Mint Controls’ AI to detect patterns and changes and effectively predict potential problems.
