Pick Nona when contents matter
Recycling programs, contamination monitoring, sustainability reporting, and LEED documentation all need to know what's in the container — not just how full it is.
Hardware
Nona and Puck are easily retrofittable IoT devices that turn any dumpster or container into a live data source — no new containers, no rewiring, no manual checks.
AI camera sensor
Our retrofittable IoT device that offers insights into dumpster contents, fill-levels, and location by gathering image data.
| Sensing | HD camera with onboard AI image analysis |
|---|---|
| Intelligence | Identifies contents and fill-levels; differentiates steel, plastics, masonry, and other materials for contamination monitoring |
| Connectivity | LTE-M low-power cellular with GPS location; proprietary transmission breaks large images into pieces for low-cost cellular transfer |
| Battery | Rechargeable; battery life varies with usage |
| Installation | Easily retrofits to existing containers |
Nona snaps pictures as contents are added to the dumpster.
Onboard AI uses the photos to precisely identify contents and fill-levels.
Critical data is generated by our proprietary AI model and sent to the platform.
Ultrasonic sensor
Our retrofittable IoT device that offers insights into fill-levels and location by gathering ultrasonic data — a compact, low-cost way to monitor any container without cameras.
| Sensing | Ultrasonic ranging with onboard AI fill model |
|---|---|
| Connectivity | LTE-M low-power cellular with GPS location |
| Battery | Single 18650 Li-ion cell; up to 12 months per charge (6+ months typical) on scheduled readings throughout the day |
| Power design | Wakes to measure and transmit, then returns to ultra-low-power sleep between readings |
| Installation | Easily retrofits to existing containers |
Puck measures contents as they are added to the container.
The onboard AI model precisely determines fill-levels from the ultrasonic data.
Critical data is reported directly to the Plentibytes platform.
Which sensor fits?
Recycling programs, contamination monitoring, sustainability reporting, and LEED documentation all need to know what's in the container — not just how full it is.
For route optimization and overflow prevention at scale, Puck delivers reliable fill-levels with months of battery life at a lower cost per container.
Every sensor feeds the same platform — and the same AI agent your customers can call or text.
