Sensoneo

Based in Slovakia, Sensoneo provides asset management, waste monitoring, and route planning services to streamline the waste management process for cities and businesses. Sensoneo’s asset management services include radio-frequency identification (RFID) smart tags and devices called “Watchdogs” that track bins and waste management truck fleets. The company’s waste monitoring and route planning services use sensors (based on ultrasound technology) to measure the fill levels in bins and containers throughout the day. It also features a cloud-based platform called the “Smart Waste Management System” to optimize waste collection routes, frequency of waste collections, and bin distribution across an area. The company also offers an app called the Citizen app, which allows citizens to access data from bin sensors, monitor fill levels, and find the nearest available bins.

As of March 2024, the company claims that its waste management solution reduces overall waste collection cost by up to 30% and carbon emissions by up to 60% in cities. The company also claims that its route optimization solution allows customers to achieve a 30-63% reduction of waste collection routes.

As of March 2024, Sensoneo had been installed in over 85 countries, serving around 40,000 users and conducting 500+ projects.
