Add a Pin to the Map Using the Web Platform

A pin in the Superfy platform is any container, bin, or other asset shown on the map. These can be smart assets (sensor enabled), managed assets (no sensor, but rules associated) or standard assets (no sensor and no rules associated).

 

It is recommended that customers complete this process during the installation of the Fill Level Sensor or Smart Bin (bin that come equipped with our pre-installed Fill Level Sensor). The installation technician(s) has the option to utilise the Superfy Mobile Application to complete this process while on-site.

This will enable the installation technician(s) to confirm that the Fill Level Sensor are activated correctly, assigned to the appropriate bin, and accurately recording data. It also allows you to troubleshoot any issues proactively while on-site.

You have the option to drop Pin(s) on the map without assigning a Fill Level Sensor. If you choose not to attach a sensor to the assets, you can proceed without completing this step.

If you choose to allocate a sensor, it's crucial to:

  • Ensure that the Fill Level Sensor is Turned ON.
  • Take a Manual Reading after pin is added to the map to ensure a heartbeat is being sent from the sensor to the platform (confirm date and timestamp matches) and verify that the asset fullness level matches what is physically in the bin.

If there is any previous Fill Level Sensor Sensor allocated to the Pin, please ensure to detach the sensor first before alloacting the new Fill Level Sensor to the Pin.

    Taking photos during the installation of the Fill Level Sensor is strongly advised. These photos are essential for referencing and confirming the correct installation of the Fill Level Sensor. They also serve as valuable resources for troubleshooting any issues that may arise in the future.This includes:
    • A clear picture of the bin type
    • A clear pictures of where the sensor(s) was installed in the bins (especially if they are installed slightly different to one another)
    • A clear picture of environment of where the bin is situated.

    During on-site installation, the installation technician(s) have the capability to take and upload pictures of each asset using the Superfy Mobile Application while adding it to the platform. Alternatively, you also have the option to take and add them at a later date on the platform if required. 

    Drivers can also use the Superfy Mobile Application to take photos of assets and attach them for reporting purposes, allowing their managers to review them. This includes documenting any damages to a bin or confirming its delivery to the designated location, among other uses.
