Systems, methods, and devices for determining a status of a container

A system comprising:

• a plurality of containers disposed on a trailer, wherein each container of the plurality of containers is configured to rotate such that at least some of one or more materials that are optionally disposed therein is able to exit therefrom due to gravitational force;
• a plurality of devices, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is attached to one of the plurality of containers and comprises an accelerometer configured to sense movement corresponding to a corresponding container discharging the at least some of the one or more materials and each device of the plurality of devices further comprises a location sensor configured to determine location data corresponding to a current container location, the container location data comprising GPS data;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory including computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive accelerometer data from an accelerometer of one of the plurality of devices;
• determine, based on the received accelerometer data, a tilt angle of the container corresponding to the one of the plurality of devices;
• determine whether the determined tilt angle satisfies a predetermined threshold, wherein the predetermined threshold is a value representative of an assumption that a certain amount of the one or more materials has been removed from the container;
• and
• cause a user at a remote location from the container location to be notified via an external network with a notification, the notification indicating the container location, and when at least one of the tilt angles satisfies the predetermined threshold.

A method comprising:

• receiving accelerometer data from an accelerometer configured to sense movement corresponding to a container discharging at least some of one or more materials, wherein the container is disposed on a trailer, the container configured to rotate such that the at least some of the one or more materials are able to exit the container due to gravitational force;
• determining location data corresponding to a current container location, the container location data comprising GPS data
• determining a tilt angle of the container based on the accelerometer data;
• determining whether the tilt angle satisfies a predetermined threshold, wherein the predetermined threshold is a value representative of an assumption that a certain amount of the one or more materials has been removed from the container;
• and
• causing a user at a remote location from the container location to be notified via an external network with a notification, the notification indicating the container location, when the tilt angle satisfies the predetermined threshold, and that the container needs to be refilled.
