📡 What are the advantages of real-time communication versus scheduled communication?

In waste management with Waste Vision, you can choose between real-time communication and scheduled communication for transmitting data from the containers and sensors. Below you can read the advantages of both methods.

Advantages of real-time communication:

• Immediate insight: Data is sent immediately when an event occurs, such as a deposit or emptying. This enables quick responses.
• Better control: You can see in real-time who deposited when, which helps prevent unauthorized use.
• Quick error detection: Any malfunctions or deviations become visible immediately, allowing you to intervene faster.

Advantages of scheduled communication:

• More efficient data usage: Data is sent at fixed times, which limits data usage and can save costs.
• Less network load: By scheduling communication, peak loads on the network are prevented.
• Longer battery life: By communicating less frequently, the battery of sensors lasts longer.
• Suitable for less critical locations: Locations where immediate feedback is less urgent can work well with scheduled communication.
