Overview
The Milesight EM400-TLD ToF Laser Distance Sensor is a high-precision sensor utilizing Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser technology to accurately measure distances from 2 cm to 350 cm. Designed specifically for smart waste management, it monitors fill levels in small to medium-sized bins, providing real-time data for efficient waste collection. The sensor features a rugged IP67-rated enclosure, ensuring durability in outdoor environments, and offers wireless connectivity options including LoRaWAN and NB-IoT, facilitating seamless integration into IoT networks.
Equipped with a built-in 3-axis accelerometer, the EM400-TLD can detect the tilt status of the bin, alerting users to potential issues such as unauthorized movement or overfilling. Additionally, the sensor includes an NTC temperature sensor to monitor internal temperatures, providing early detection of potential combustion risks. With a long-lasting battery life of up to 10 years, the EM400-TLD is a reliable solution for smart cities and waste management systems seeking to optimize operations and enhance safety.
