The BinCloud Gateway is used to flow data quickly and seamlessly in and out of a network. In an inventory management system, the BinCloud Gateway receives measurement data from level sensors and sends it to a control room, BinView, or Binventory software. Every BinCloud Gateway is both Ethernet and 2.4 GHz WiFi enabled. Cellular connectivity is also available. The gateway is housed in a 10-inch x 8-inch x 4-inch enclosure made of non-corrosive, UV resistant polycarbonate. The lockable enclosure is rated to NEMA-4X weatherproof standards. The gateway requires a 120-240 VAC power input.
