There are 3 main container types within the Superfy Platform: a Managed Container, QR Container or a Connected Container. A Container can also have both a QR code and a Sensor associated to it. This article shows how to add a Container to the Map.
- Connected Container: these containers are equipped with sensors that enable them to deliver real-time data on their fullness and temprature levels. You have the flexibility to adjust the frequency at which the G2 Fill Level Sensor records the fullness readings from the container and transmits this information to the platform.
- QR Container: these containers are equipped with QR Codes, allowing the public or your direct customers to scan the code to request collections, report damages, contamination or litter, making the collection process more efficient and accessible for all involved parties. These containers do not display fullness level data either.
- Managed Container: these containers are not equipped with a QR code or sensor. Instead, they operate based on collection threshold rules, making them suitable for locations that do not require frequent pickups. They do not provide data on fullness levels; rather, they employ a color-coded system that shifts between Green, Orange, and Red to indicate their status according to predefined Intermediate and Maximum Collection Thresholds.
- QR Code and Connected Container - the best of both worlds, you can assign a QR Code and sensor to a container.
To facilitate a seamless installation process, it is essential for customers to complete the Container Information Template and submit it to their Account Manager or Customer Success Manager. This important step enables our Customer Success team to add the containers to their designated location on the map prior to the installation of the Fill Level Sensor or Smart Container.
Otherwise, the installation technician(s) has the option to utilise the Superfy Mobile Application to complete this process while on-site.
Ensuring that the containers are placed in their designated locations on the map is crucial for a smooth installation process. This step allows the installation technician(s) to verify that the Fill Level Sensors are Turned ON, Assigned to the Appropriate Containers, and recording Accurate Fill Level Data. It also helps in proactively Troubleshooting any issues while on-site.
