Greater Geelong, VIC protects against fires at garden waste facility with temperature sensors

Greater Geelong, VIC Waste Facility Temperature Sensors

Greater Geelong processes 35,000 tons of garden waste per year at two organic collection facilities. Council officials and Sequence Digital began the development of the RM1 sensor for the Anakie facility in 2018. The RM1 features 4G connectivity, a weather-proof casing, and solar panels for off-grid power. Council employees monitor real-time sensor data for spikes preceding compost fires, thus supporting preventive measures across a 10,000 cubic meter facility.
