Factory Waste Management
Gain valuable data on the type, amount, and location of waste generated at your facility
Waste is generated throughout production lines in the facility (unpackaging, cutting, clipping …). Since material logistics and the overall production flow are carefully coordinated, the same level of attention should be given to waste collection.
The Factory Waste Management solution by Sensoneo enables full waste traceability, providing valuable insights into the type, amount, and location of waste generated within a facility. It helps organizations stay ahead of sustainability targets while improving the waste diversion rate.
At the same time, it helps prevent contamination and optimize waste collection to reduce costs and avoid workflow disruptions. Additionally, the collected data can be used to implement targeted measures, such as employee training and education on proper sorting.
Problems we solve
- Delayed collection of overflowing dumpsters disrupts your optimized logistics flow
- Unnecessary collection of half-empty dumpsters disrupts your logistics workforce
- Unnecessary routes waste resources and increase safety risks
- Lack of data about the volume of waste generated at each logistics step
- Contamination tracking to help improve your sustainability goals
Key functionalities and benefits of our solution
Fullness notification
Smart Button allows assigned personnel to indicate that a bin is full. When pressed, it sends notifications to the Sensoneo Platform. Smart Sensors and Monitors provide the Sensoneo Platform with live bin fullness measurements several times a day. Both the Button and Sensor can be placed on bins and dumpsters of various types and sizes and can send notifications from both indoor and outdoor locations.
Smart Button is a simple and cost-effective tool for manual fullness notifications. Smart Sensor is a reliable and effortless tool for automatic fullness notification.
Waste Management System (WMS)
The Factory or Industrial Waste Management Operator can immediately see all full bins in the Dashboard, and the Route Planning Engine automatically recalculates routes to accommodate each newly full bin. Both the Dashboard and Route Planning Engine are part of the Smart Waste Management System, a powerful cloud-based platform designed by Sensoneo. The waste management software platform offers comprehensive control over waste collection operations through remote management.
It efficiently adapts to a wide range of rules and variables, making it possible to support various scenarios. You can create a detailed database of all dumpsters, including waste types, capacities, bin locations, and pickup points. The Dashboard consolidates all data from Smart Buttons, Smart Sensors, and the Mobile Collection App. By recalculating routes in real time, especially in response to full-bin notifications, the solution optimizes collection efficiency and responsiveness.
Mobile Collection App
The Mobile Collection App revolutionizes waste management in factories by streamlining essential tasks. We designed the Dashboard in the Smart Waste Management System for operators and the Collection App for drivers and collectors. The Collection App helps drivers navigate the premises and identify bins for collection and transport.
It simplifies waste collection through a convenient to-do list, while floor plan navigation and QR code-based bin and stand identification enhance operational efficiency. The app also ensures service verification and enables prompt contamination feedback, promoting effective waste management practices and accountability. The Collection App sends all data to the Sensoneo Platform, giving operators remote control.
Insights for optimization
Our data reports offer valuable insights for waste management in factories by providing weight data for oversight of internal and external waste collectors, as well as for sustainability reporting. They support a comprehensive understanding of waste generation and collection frequency, empowering data-driven decisions that improve sustainability KPIs, such as Waste Diversion Rate.
These reports play a key role in optimizing waste management strategies and promoting a more environmentally responsible operational approach. We are happy to deliver our data to fully customizable dashboards in Smart Analytics (Qlik platform) or send tailored email reports to help you run a more efficient operation and report more easily to management.
