Some of the new key features you can utilise in 1.4.5
Sensor less bins integrated into netBin
Bins without sensors fitted (dumb bins) can now be collected alongside bins with nPod sensors (smart bins) and their required collection frequency configured. This means collection routes can be automatically generated for just dumb bins, or a mixture of smart and dumb bins or just smart bins as before.
This greatly simplifies transition from a network of dumb bins to a smart bin network as the whole of the bin network can be configured on the netBin system from the start and collection routes dynamically created for all bins whilst the move from dumb to smart bins is made over time.
Automatic fallback for smart bins with connection failures
Smart bins where the sensor stops connecting due to for example a cellular network fault can optionally automatically switched to use it’s predicated fill rate so that the bin can continue to be collected using fill information from it’s fill rate history until the problem is rectified. This means that a bin does not get ignored or over collected due to an unchanging fill level.
The automatically generated collection routes will reset the bin level to empty once that scheduled route has been run. When the nPod is able to connect again the predicted fill levels are automatically stopped and the actual fill levels reading used again.
The fill level is shown as estimated on the bin information page and displayed in red on the bin list page if no recent connection has occurred.
