compactor fill level monitoring — live now

Compactor Fill Level Monitoring

Real-time fill level monitoring for compactors — live fill percentage, 3/4 full and full signals, overflow alerts and predictive collection dates so you only collect when genuinely full.

The Challenge

Fill level is guessed, not measured

No fill visibility

Compactors are collected on a rota with no idea of actual fill level — early collections waste transport, late ones overflow.

Overflow risk

Without live fill signals, a compactor can overflow before anyone notices, causing mess and missed pickups.

Manual checks

Someone has to physically inspect each compactor to know if it needs collecting — costly across multiple sites.

The Solution

What you get

Live Fill %

Real-time fill percentage for every compactor, calculated from PLC signals and pressure analysis.

HS0 / HS1 Signals

3/4 full and full signals read straight from your compactor PLC in real time.

Overflow Alerts

Get alerted as a compactor approaches full so you can plan a collection before overflow.

Predictive Dates

Recommended collection dates that learn from real fill rates and collection weights.

Benefits

Why it matters

✓

See live fill level for every compactor remotely

✓

Collect only when a compactor is actually full

✓

1

Connect

Retrofit sensors link your compactor PLC to the cloud — any brand.

FAQ

compactor fill level monitoring questions

How is compactor fill level measured?+
Cloud4Waste reads 3/4 full (HS0) and full (HS1) signals from your compactor PLC and combines them with pressure analysis to calculate a live fill percentage.
Can I monitor fill level across multiple compactors?+
Yes — every compactor shows live fill level in one dashboard, so you can prioritise the units that actually need collecting.
