The Internet of Things(IoT)

Making Waste Collection Part of a Smarter Future

Looking Ahead - IoT, Smart Cities and Refuse Collection

Internet of Things (IoT)• IoT connects people and things

via the Internet

• Uses IT analytics, cloud computing, smart devices and apps

• Built on cloud computing and networks of data-gathering sensors

• Delivers mobile, virtual and immediate connection

• Makes everything “smart”

IoT, Smart Cities and Waste Management• IoT powers “Smart Cities”

• Smart city mandate includes smarter waste management

• IoT systems monitor trash, vehicles, drivers and customers to optimize many elements of the essential services offered via:

• Asset scanning

• Data gathering

• Chip/sensor technology

• Camera-based real-time monitoring

• Optimization of vehicle fleet logistics.

How IoT Connects Smart Trucks• Smart display computing devices

• Real-time information to drivers and managers

• Integrate cameras, scales, RFID readers, tire pressure and fuel monitoring

• Easy control and real-time communication

The IoT Advantage1. City administrators > control over

budgets, service quality , refuse collection service providers.

2. Municipal fleet and dispatch managers > better manage fleet logistics, service accountability.

3. Private haulers > better organize, optimize business processes.

4. Customers > timely, consistent customer service.

5. Drivers > tools to improve safety, driving, visibility etc.

Benefits of IoT to Waste Fleets

Smarter, Cleaner, Safer FleetsWhat you can achieve with IoT-powered smart fleets:

• Measure accuracy, efficiency for pick-up and delivery commitments

• Decrease administrative time wasted on data entry – go paperless!

• Improve the driver experience and efficiencies

• Ensure accurate billing

• Improve fuel consumption and mileage management

• Heighten accountability and visibility

• Improve customer service

• Be greener and operate safely at peak performance

• Significantly reduce resource requirements

• Lower communications costs

• Ensure integrated activity management

• View servicing problems in real-time to improve customer satisfaction

• Improve maintenance and safety initiatives

• Help reduce amounts of household waste

Complete Visibility• Managers need 360˚ views

• Impacts risk factors, safety records, operating costs

• IoT-powered smart displays connect everyone, everything

• Like a supervisor in every truck

Less Driver Distractions• Drivers need to focus on driving

• IoT-connected smart displays provide single interface point

• Easy touchscreen communications

• Performance threshold alerts

• Eliminates guesswork and manual requirements

More Eco-friendly Operations• Green fleets minimize fuel consumption, mileage and exhaust emissions

• IoT-connected OBC with driver direction capabilities optimize routes

• Reduces time spent on the road and number of engine hours per day

• Generates alarms to monitor/reduce idling, identify aggressive driving, identify vehicle maintenance issues

Improved Preventative Maintenance• IoT-connected OBCs flag vehicle

issues

• Ensure vehicle is properly maintained and functional

• Immediate ECM-related alarms to flag any issues for repair and maintenance

• Drivers are safer and vehicles perform better.

Enhanced Data Collection• Masses of information for driver

activity, driver performance, driver scoring, fuel consumption, fleet performance, etc.

• Before, collected manually with information gaps, human error

• IoT now enables enhanced operations/performance statistics tracking for key indicators

• Unprecedented, total visibility into all information from macro company to individual driver

• Ability to identify and solve problems faster, improve operational efficiency & decision-making

Route OptimizationReal-time IoT-driven fleet tracking and driver directions minimize distance, fuel and time:

• Know how your vehicles are being handled

• Identify non-productive time in seconds

• Determine which drivers generated alarms and where

• Plot locations of alarm occurrences

• Access all your fleet’s activities by divisions

• Supervise real-time route progress

• Check overall route completion status

Conclusion• Sustainable waste collection is fundamental to Smart Cities

• IoT can optimize waste collection with RFID tracking, sensors and cameras

• Smart fleet systems enable connected data sharing, route optimization, asset management, safety, more efficient, sustainable operations.
