In recognition of Tekelek’s innovative products, exceptional customer service and commitment to transparency, NCH Corporation based in Irving, Texas, selected Tekelek as their Supplier of the Year. NCH use tank level sensors from Tekelek to drive efficiencies in their sales process made possible by the reliable real time visibility to their customers stocking levels.

Having successfully trialled the solution, NCH have recently launched a dedicated business unit, focused on the remote management of chemicals across multiple applications in which NCH specialize. Tekelek would like to thank NCH Corporation for the award. We are extremely proud to be acknowledged as Supplier of the Year and look forward to building our partnership.

As an extension of Tekelek’s core IoT hardware offering, Tekelek is pleased to introduce the TEK839 LoRaWAN Waste Bin Monitor. This exciting innovation will enable Tekelek to serve the LoRa waste management and waste monitoring markets.

The LoRaWAN Waste Monitor is ready for market following extensive testing on multiple waste types including cardboard, plastics, glass, and general waste leading to first deployments in Q3 2019.

With growing market competition and demands in the waste management sector, Tekelek’s technology enables improvement in efficiency of waste and recycle bin collections.

The LoRaWAN waste sensor solution is providing cost effective visibility to bin levels, with an exceptional battery life (>14 years). LoRaWAN waste sensors that are mounted in the bins are part of a system that can track and learn from patterns of activity in the bins. Collected data provided by the sensors assist the waste management company to make decisions on when trash collectors should empty them and where recycling options might be needed. It is also helping the waste management company to mitigate container overflow as the device is pre-configured to send notifications when the bins are 80 percent full.

An outstanding benefit in deploying the waste monitoring technology is the reduction in the number of overall collections, and optimisation of operational resources which will ultimately increase profitability.
“This new development allows us to capitalise on advances and economies in IoT technologies to provide greater intelligence on management and monitoring of waste,” said Oliver McCarthy, General Manager. Tekelek presents an exciting opportunity for greater efficiency and improved customer service in the waste sector.

Tekelek CEO, Peter McCarthy, was pleased to participate at a recent Shannon Chamber briefing event to welcome UNIDO Director General, Mr. LI Yong.

In 1980, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) brought a delegation of Chinese officials to Shannon Free Zone (SFZ) on a three-week training course. Almost 40 years later the current UNIDO Director General, Mr. LI Yong, recently made an official visit to the SFZ to speak about these historic ties, UNIDO’s vision and its approach to creating shared prosperity through industrial development.

The event brought together a number of Shannon Free Zone companies who presented on how they have developed over time and what they do today and expect to be doing in the future.

Peter McCarthy, CEO of Tekelek, was delighted to speak at the briefing showcasing all that Tekelek technology offers and in particular, Tekelek’s water monitoring project activity with the UN at refugee camps.

Mr. LI Yong, as former Vice Minister of Finance of China, has first-hand experience of how the knowledge garnered at Shannon in 1980 influenced the development of the Chinese economy over the past four decades. As Director General of UNIDO he knows how important networks and knowledge sharing are to building shared prosperity and inclusive and sustainable development. This was a unique opportunity for Tekelek to harness this sentiment and present to an audience with the shared interest of striving for continued development.
