Ecube Labs Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of smart and connected waste bins and solar-powered portable waste compactors, reflecting the broader, global trend of Internet of Things. Ecube Lab's garbage containers are equipped with sensors capable of monitoring their fill-level and bin status.[1] This allows waste collectors to reduce operating costs by up to 80% through lowering collection frequency.
Ecube Labs was established in 2011 and is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea at Guro Digital Industrial Complex, an industrial complex that has become a hub for high-tech companies and start-ups.[2]
Products
- Clean Cube: A waste compaction bin powered entirely by solar energy. Embedded sensors measure the bin fill-level in real-time and triggers automated compaction of waste, effectively increasing the bin capacity by 500% - 700%. Using either 2G or 3G wireless telecommunication technology, real-time data from Clean Cubes is sent to Ecube Labs' online network, allowing remote monitoring of bin status and fill-levels. The Clean Cube boasts optional features such as Wi-Fi hotspot capability, LED back-lit advertisement panels, and motion-activated sound players.
- Clean Cap: A wireless sensor that measures a container's fill-level in real time. It comes in both a battery-powered and solar-powered model and can be attached to any type of container to monitor any type of waste. Using either 2G or 3G wireless telecommunication technology, real time data from are sent to Clean City Networks' servers.
- Clean City Networks (CCN): An integrated waste management platform designed to optimize the efficiency of waste collection. CCN provides a comprehensive collection of historical data and analytics reports. It also allows users to monitor Clean Cubes and Clean Cap-equipped containers in real-time. In addition to CCN notifying users when and where collection is required in real-time, its predictive algorithms generate schedules for future collections. CCN also helps drivers by optimizing routes for each collection.
