Overview
Garbage chutes are a vital part of any commercial, and/or residential high-rise.
But with frequent blockages, hygiene issues, and pest problems, they can be a major hassle to keep running smoothly. That’s where the Chute Sentinel comes in. Utilising advanced IIOT sensor technology, the Chute Sentinel can provide real-time information on blockages and their whereabouts as soon as they occur. This instantaneous detection allows for alerts to go out to their respective parties within moments of the blockage occurring minimising the overall damage caused.

Chute Sentinel offer:
- Frequent blockages, hygiene issues, and pest problems make maintenance a major challenge.
- Chute Sentinel uses advanced IIOT sensor technology to provide real-time blockage detection.
- Instant alerts notify the relevant parties immediately, minimising damage and downtime.
By using these three things, the Chute Sentinel ensures that your chute isn’t garbage.
How it works
The Chute Sentinel works through the use of IIOT Sensor Technology driven by the computational unit of the Sentinel.
INDUSTRIAL
SENTINEL
Our IIOT Sensor Technology forms an advanced “industrial sentinel,” continuously monitoring your chute with a network of industrial sensors.
REAL-TIME
DETECTION
The system provides instant blockage detection and generates valuable data points for chute evaluation in real-time.
COMPUTATIONAL
UNIT
All sensors are connected via a central computational unit, ensuring immediate alerts when a blockage occurs.
BIN ROOM
MANAGEMENT
Our Tier 2 service uses machine vision to monitor bin levels and detect spillages, reducing operational risks.
WIRELESS
LOCKS
Tier 3 features wireless refuse door locks, allowing instant closure of specific or entire floors to prevent further waste buildup.
HYGIENE &
CONTROL
By integrating smart monitoring and automated management, our system minimizes health hazards and ensures efficient waste management.
Benefits
- Reduced Downtime
By instantly and directly notifying the respective parties, the Chute Sentinel informs the owner of the location of the blockage, allowing prompt response to the affected location and allowing restoration to commence in the shortest possible time frame.
- Improved Hygiene
Preventing blockages also prevents odours from building up with our odour control systems, along with keeping pests at bay with and many other hygienic benefits that come along with the Chute Sentinel.
- Enhanced Safety
Reducing blockage duration assists in removing personnel from working extended periods of time in difficult and dirty positions. Also preventing the possibility of more dangerously large blockages from building up.
Our Tiers
Our tiers each offer different services that can help you with you waste management, just because one tier is lower than another one, it does not necessarily mean that the tier is cheaper or lesser. Each tier provides certain solutions to certain problems, which when combined, help to solve your garbage management needs. Contact us today to learn more about our tiers!
Tier 1
Chute Sentinel:
- Head unit installation
- Blockage localisation and alerts
Tier 1 gives you peace of mind knowing that when a blockage occurs, you will know immediately due to our IIOT Sensor Technology and can respond accordingly.
Tier 2
Bin Management:
- Bin room unit
- Spillage detection and alerts
- Intelligent compaction (if compactor is available)
Tier 2 further builds on the minimisation of problems within the garbage systems, alerting you of spillages and bin levels with ease. Utilising machine vision, we can detect and inform you of anomalies allowing you to quickly restore function.
Tier 3
Floor Monitoring and Control:
- Sensor driven refuse door locking
- Reporting tool
- Intelli-lock (Under Development)
Tier 3 provides a means for the Building Manager to lock individual or all floors’ refuse bin doors when a blockage has been detected. This allows prompt cleaning without the risk that more rubbish will be dumped on top of the blockage. These systems can also help to inform the owner of a possible culprit to a blockage allowing for more accountability to fall onto tenants.
