The Hardware
One module. Six jobs. Always on.
The BinEye Smart Module is a sealed, Blues-connected, 7,000 mAh rechargeable lithium battery edge compute unit factory-fitted to every Bin Eye Bin. It does six things simultaneously, without driver input, without wiring, and without a battery replacement programme.
Long-life lithium power
The standard BinEye module uses a 7,000 mAh rechargeable lithium battery designed to provide approximately 12 months of operation under normal use. It can be recharged while the bin is sitting on the truck or at the dock, so charging fits within the fleet's normal handling cycle.
GPS Tracking
GPS location (included with BinEye module). Reports when needed. Track history kept for approximately 12 months per charge.
AI Camera Vision
2 MP wide-angle camera. AI-assisted review (coming soon) using a model that being introduced for upcoming deployments, updated via OTA. Classifies fill level, material type, contamination, and overfill from inside the bin.
Fill Monitoring
Fill-level monitoring from scheduled images. Configurable threshold alerts through BinEye.ai.
4G LTE Cellular
Global SIM. Works on local networks wherever the bin is deployed. Automatic carrier selection.
OTA Firmware
All firmware updates delivered over-the-air. No site visits. The model being introduced for upcoming deployments — every bin in the fleet gets smarter with each update.
The Data Pipeline
Edge to fleet dashboard in when processed.
Every telemetry event — fill reading, camera inference result, GPS fix, contamination flag — travels from the bin module through the cellular network to the BinEye cloud, is processed and classified, and surfaces in your fleet dashboard when processed.
The pipeline runs on AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney). Data never leaves Australian jurisdiction without explicit customer consent. Operators can also access all telemetry via the REST API — for direct integration with BinManager, Xero, dispatch systems, or custom fleet software.
The AI Model
A classifier that learns from every bin in the fleet.
The BinEye waste classification model is a convolutional neural network trained on annotated bin imagery from Australian commercial and residential sites. It runs on-device, updating automatically as the central model improves.
Lightweight CNN — on-device
Quantised convolutional neural network optimised for edge inference on the module's embedded processor. Processes scheduled image and telemetry data within the released product cadence.
5 material classes + fill level
General waste, recycling, green/organic, construction & demolition, and hazardous/contaminated. Fill-level is assessed from scheduled images within the released cadence.
AU-specific annotated imagery
Trained on annotated imagery from Australian commercial and residential skip bin deployments. Dataset grows with each deployed bin — every classification event (with operator confirmation) feeds back into the training loop.
Fleet-wide model deployment
Model updates are tested, validated, and deployed OTA to the entire fleet simultaneously. No field service. No manual update. Every bin gets the latest classifier automatically — improving accuracy fleet-wide each release cycle.
Security & Compliance
Australian data. Australian jurisdiction.
Data residency
All telemetry, imagery, and account data stored in AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney). No data stored outside Australia without explicit consent.
Encryption
TLS 1.3 for all data in transit. AES-256 for data at rest. Cellular SIM communications encrypted end-to-end.
Privacy Act compliance
Operated in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Access controls
Role-based access controls. Operators see only their fleet. Least-privilege IAM on all cloud infrastructure. Audit logging on all administrative actions.
No raw image egress
Camera inference runs on-device. By default, no raw images leave the bin. Event-triggered image capture for contamination and illegal dumping evidence can be enabled per customer.
ChAFTA compliance
All hardware imported under the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement. 0% import duty. Full documentation available at order confirmation.
