Motivation
Why we design this system?
Serious big amount of garbage problem is rising in the whole world, which makes our environment messy. Therefore, We figure out a solution to increase the efficiency of waste treatment. Also, the advantages of our project are reducing manpower and increasing high efficiency of waste collection.
Architecture
This is our system architecture. We mainly used Arduino UNO to finish the project. HC-SR04 and DHT11 are as our sensors that help us collect the data. Using the Sigfox and Losant cloud to finish the fog and cloud computing part. Finally,we show our monitoring data on the instant monitoring page through APIs.
Sigfox Cloud
Computing
This is the short introduction of Sigfox Cloud.The barriers to global IoT adoption (cost, energy consumption, and global scalability) no longer exist thanks to Sigfox global IoT network. With its global LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) network, it has reinvented connectivity for the IoT. The following figure is how Sigfox works.
What is LOSANT ?
Losant is an easy-to-use and powerful enterprise IoT platform designed to help you quickly and securely build complex connected solutions. Losant provides powerful data collection, aggregation, and visualization features to help understand and quantify vast amounts of sensor data. Losant’s drag-and-drop workflow editor allows you to trigger actions, notifications, and machine-to-machine communication without programming.
