Municipal Waste Collection in Europe

CASE STUDY

Context

The Chainway distributor TechSigno Srl. collaborated with Compta BEE2WASTE, a company that has implemented waste management solutions in over 40 cities across Europe and South America, supporting all phases of urban sanitation processes based on the specific needs of each project. Chainway handheld computers, equipped with the most advanced technologies, ensure maximum operational efficiency.

The technology UHF RFID opens up new opportunities to optimize waste collection processes, significantly increasing productivity. The solutions enable automatic identification of containers and even waste bags via UHF RFID tags, offering managers faster and more accurate control.

Challenges

One of the main challenges faced by waste collection operators is installing identification devices (UHF RFID tags or labels) and associating the information for each container with the relevant tag, contract, and customer (or group of customers).

Manually recording this data is a lengthy, complex, and costly process. Manually entering information, recording it in systems, and linking containers, contracts, and customers is time-consuming and increases the risk of errors.

The goal is therefore to simplify these operations, allowing them to be performed directly in the field in a single phase, drastically reducing the number of steps, errors and the use of administrative resources.

Solution

Thanks to UHF RFID readers Chainway C4050 and to the application BEE2WASTE, operators can directly manage the installation of RFID identifiers and the connection of data to the containers and the management platform in the field.

Whether your container already has a UHF RFID tag, needs to be installed, replaced, repaired, or a new container installed, the Chainway terminal can:

IDENTIFY INSTALLATION POINT VIA GPS

IDENTIFY THE CONTAINER TO BE WORKED ON AND UPDATE OR INSERT THE NECESSARY INFORMATION

QUICKLY READ THE UHF RFID TAG UP TO A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 2 METERS, REDUCING INTERVENTION TIMES AND OPERATOR EFFORT

AUTOMATICALLY SEND ALL INFORMATION TO THE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM, WHERE IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTRACT AND THE CUSTOMERS CONNECTED TO THAT CONTAINER

Results

The Chainway C4050 allowed BEE2WASTE to obtain:

By applying this methodology to hundreds of thousands of operations, the improvement in efficiency is significant.
