Project description
New waste management system with radar sensor
In the ever-growing challenge of waste management, companies often struggle to efficiently monitor their container fleets, leading to increased costs and environmental emissions. Inefficient monitoring poses a significant challenge for waste companies. In this context, the EU-funded Sensorita project aims to transform waste management. By developing a state-of-the-art radar sensor system, Sensorita combines hardware sensors built for extreme environments with a machine learning powered software platform. This powerful combination allows waste companies to automate processes, optimise operations, and ultimately reduce costs and emissions. With a focus on construction waste (Europe's largest waste source), and large open containers, Sensorita's groundbreaking solution promises to revolutionise the industry, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
Objective
Sensorita is developing a cutting-edge radar sensor system to help waste companies better monitor their container fleet. We are combining our hardware sensor, specially designed to endure extreme environments, with our machine learning based software platform to analyze and predict how our customers can automate and streamline waste management and cut costs and emissions. We are targeting construction waste, the largest source to waste in Europe, and large, open waste containers.
Sensorita spins out of the sensor and data science community at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and the technology is based on research of the master’s thesis of the female founder and CEO, Ulrikke Lien.
The objectives of this proposal is to strengthen the commercial and organizational aspects of Sensorita. The activities in the work plan are related to activities within sales, organization building and business development. Sensorita's funding so far is linked to the grant from Innovation Norway, which covers our technical development, however succeeding as a deep tech company is a lot more than the technological development.
