LoRaWAN Multifunctional Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

The HKT-UDS100 is a smart bin sensor, independently developed and designed by Hunan HKT Technology Co., Ltd. It measures bin fill levels periodically and sends the data to nearby LoRaWAN gateways, which then forward it to the cloud. When a bin reaches the set threshold, the system sends an alert so operators can schedule collections only when needed — instead of sticking to fixed routes. The sensor also comes with GPS for tracking bin locations and temperature compensation to keep readings steady outdoors. Used in public trash cans, waste sorting stations, and similar setups.

 

LoRaWAN Multifunctional Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

 

The HKT-UDS100, a versatile smart bin sensor, supports multiple application modes for smart waste management, smart parking, and other distance/level measurement scenarios; built on the standard LoRaWAN® protocol for low‑power long‑range transmission, it combines extended battery life with a robust build for a cost‑effective and reliable solution.
HKT LORA’s LoRaWAN multifunctional ultrasonic distance sensors (HKT-UDS100) fully comply with the standard LoRaWAN® protocol established by the LoRa Alliance, ensuring seamless interoperability and smooth integration with mainstream gateways and network servers.

 

Small Blind Spot UltrasonicDistance Detection

 

HKT-UDS100 uses ultrasonic distance detection which allows for more precise distancemeasurement and small blind spot, its precise measurements make it an ideal device for arange of applications, from garbage bin monitoring to parking lot management.

Non-Contact Measuring Technology

 

Our ultrasonic distance sensors feature advanced non-contact measuring technology with a wide detection range (3cm to 450cm) and an ultra-small 3cm blind spot, enabling precise level monitoring even for close-range targets.

Rugged and Reliable lP67Rated Enclosure

 

IP67 rated enclosure ensures The HKT-UDS100 is protected against dust, water, and otherenvironmental hazards, enabling it to withstand harsh environment.

The HKT-UDS100 also features a conformal coating on its PCBA, which provides an extralayer of protection against moisture, dust, and other contaminants that can damage elec.tronic components.

 

Built with an IP67 waterproof, flame-retardant enclosure and powered by replaceable lithium batteries, the sensors deliver exceptional durability and an extended lifespan of 5 to 10 years. Equipped with temperature compensation for superior measurement accuracy, built-in 3-axis accelerometer for posture/tilt perception, and Bluetooth OTA capability, they offer ultra-low power consumption, long transmission range, and effortless on-site configuration.

Additionally, HKT LORA provides a complete smart distance and level monitoring solution — beyond high-precision sensors, we offer LoRaWAN gateways and cloud-based management platforms, enabling real-time status monitoring, overflow alerts, and automated dispatch management. This end-to-end integration shifts operations from manual inspections to data-driven management, significantly lowering operational and maintenance costs across smart waste management, smart parking, and industrial level detection scenarios.

 

What are the advantages of our trash bin monitoring sensors?

  • Detection Capabilities

Detection range of 3~450cm with an ultra‑small 3cm blind spot, supporting non‑contact distance measurement; built‑in temperature compensation ensures reliable and stable data from this high precision ultrasonic distance sensor across varying ambient temperatures. IP67-rated enclosure and flame‑retardant housing keep internal electronics protected — so measurement accuracy stays consistent even after years of outdoor deployment. Connectivity & Compatibility
Built on the standard LoRaWAN® protocol with a maximum communication distance of 5km in open environments, it is compatible with standard LoRaWAN® gateways and third‑party network server platforms — enabling flexible deployment and seamless system integration.

  • Protection & Power Supply

IP67 waterproof and flame‑retardant housing withstands harsh outdoor environments; low‑power design paired with a high‑capacity lithium battery delivers 5‑10 years of operation (scenario‑dependent, replaceable), significantly reducing maintenance frequency and costs.

  • Smart Operation & Integrated Functions

Beyond overflow detection (distance reading), it integrates GPS positioning, Bluetooth OTA configuration, posture monitoring, temperature & humidity monitoring, event logging, data reporting, and low‑voltage alarm — enabling full‑dimension remote device management and control.

 

What are the applications of a trash bin monitoring sensor?

This trash bin monitoring sensor is suitable for overflow detection on various types of trash cans and distance measurement for parking spaces — widely deployed in public trash cans, waste sorting stations, parking lots, and other scenarios, effectively addressing the outstanding challenges of sanitation operations: unclear overflow status, low collection efficiency, and irrational bin distribution.
