In today‘s world it is essential that you can monitor the equipment that you have dispatched in the streets through identification and use it to collect the information necessary to an appropriate control of your operational costs. This can lead you to roll-out new business models such as pay-as-you-go where you will need a sophisticated access control system.

Identification

Days are over when people thought the waste collection equipment in the street was of no value and therefore should not be managed. Nowadays under budget constraints, most local authorities wants to control their total costs of waste management (TCWM) Identification of equipment is the first building stone : by installing a micro-chip on the equipment, it is possible to identify it automatically during waste collection for example and therefore gather information such as weight, frequency etc...

Information management

Knowing more about what you collect and the usage of the bins will help you improving your collection frequency, routes and give you the opportunity to bill users separately on the basis of objectives criteria. Once your bins are identified with an electronic chip, we can equip your collection trucks with the necessary receivers, weighing systems and software so that all the vital information is collected into a central database. You will them have acess to that database to develop your own statistics, or you can ask us to give you the right tools to analyse your information.

Access control

By installing smartcard reader on your underground waste containers, you can control you will use them and implement specific billing schemes. In holidays areas for example, local residents could receive free access to the waste facility while summer residents (who do not pay local taxes in general…) would need to buy a temporary card to dispose of their waste. Many other applications based on pay-as-you-go schemes could be implemented.
