Sensorita leverages digital twins to assist waste management companies in optimizing construction waste processes

Sensorita aims to tackle the substantial waste produced by the construction industry by addressing its fundamental challenge: the lack of reliable data. Ulrikke Lien, co-founder and CEO of Sensorita, highlighted that waste management companies often struggle with inefficient operations due to insufficient data about their construction site bins’ locations, quantities, and fill levels.

Lien emphasized the critical role of data in optimizing waste management processes, comparing the construction industry’s data capabilities unfavorably to other process industries. Sensorita, based in Oslo, deploys sensors in construction waste bins and utilizes radar and machine learning to create digital twins of each bin. This technology enables real-time monitoring of bin fill levels, providing waste management companies with actionable insights to improve operational efficiency.

Rather than relying on manual checks, which Lien described as time-consuming and impractical in a low-margin industry, Sensorita’s software empowers companies to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance planning based on accurate, automated data updates. This approach not only aims to reduce waste but also to make waste management in construction more sustainable and economically viable.
