Use cases

What the PhilRay is for

Underground containers

Measures from above through the drop shaft – reliable even with condensation.

Depot containers

Glass, paper, lightweight packaging: fill level and collections are recorded automatically.

Small containers & liquids

Radar measures organic waste, residual waste and liquid levels precisely.

Features

What the PhilRay can do

Fill-level measurement

An optical time-of-flight sensor plus radar. Both readings are in the platform – you decide which one leads.

Collections

An acceleration sensor detects crane emptying and records the volumes before and after.

Connectivity

LTE-M and NB-IoT with Europe-wide coverage. A LoRaWAN variant is available.

Geoposition

GPS with a clear view of the sky, plus positioning via the mobile network.

Temperature

Measured continuously with every fill-level reading.

Configuration

Measuring and transmission intervals plus thresholds for fill level and temperature – all in the platform.

Battery

Replaceable batteries designed for 5 years. A low charge level is reported.

Mounting

Through-holes and brackets for 20 to 90°, or for bonding.

Installation

Ready to go in minutes

  1. Choose the bracket

    For angles from 20 to 90°, or as an adhesive mount – whatever suits the container.

  2. Mount the sensor

    Screw it down through the through-holes, measuring direction into the container.

  3. Pair it in the app

    Scan the sensor QR code, pick the container, assign it – done.

  4. Configure it

    Set the measuring interval, transmission and alarm thresholds in the platform.
