Story

Our project focuses on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), this apply more to the concept of Smart Connected Operations within a plant or production facility to create products and services.

Now days, machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies is being put into all kinds of devices—but they’re also being put in the trash. It’s for a good reason, though smart waste management.

With the total volume of waste generated globally expected to increase by nearly 50% over the next decade, the adoption of innovative technologies will result in more integrated waste management solutions that move beyond the traditional use of labor, diesel trucks and conventional landfills.

The current waste collection system has much inefficiency:

Time consuming. Trucks go and empty containers whether they are full or not.
High costs.
Greater traffic flow and congestion.
Unnecessary fuel consumption.
Increased noise and air pollution

Our intelligent waste management solution involves applying technology (electronics and applications) to the current operating system to enable two-way communication between the infrastructure deployed in the city and service operators.

Our Solution for intelligent and efficient waste management benefits includes:

The sensors installed in the containers provide real-time information on the fill level. This information helps determine when and where to prioritize collection.

Monitoring the trucks that provide the service makes it possible to configure the routes dynamically based on the fill levels at any time. The two-way communication system provides trucks with information on the route to follow and also sends data about the emptied containers.

The historical information and Data analytics on collections favours the deployment of containers according to the required amount and location based on the fill patterns.

Improves environmental quality and well being of citizens by reducing the truck traffic and therefore the air pollution produced by CO2 emissions and noise pollution caused by vehicle traffic.

The data transmission is made secure between client and system.

Long-term battery life is major prerequisite for a vast number of IoT applications, this is at key preference in our system to ensure low maintenance cost, by providing
