Optimizing waste collection with fill-level sensors

In short

Challenge
Rebin wants to optimize waste management by using sensors to measure the fill-levels of trash containers. They needed a digital platform to monitor and track the sensor-data and generate optimal waste collection routes.

Solution
Together, we developed a web application that serves as a dashboard and collection route generator. This application needed to be built quickly, securely, and with the future in mind.

Approach
We worked as an extension of their IT team. Through close co-creation, we considered how to move quickly and develop the platform to be high-quality and future-proof.

Outcome
A platform ready to enter the market alongside the sensors. The use of the sensors already saved 7.6 tons of CO2.

Client Ambition

Rebin is set to optimize waste management. Special sensors monitor the fill levels of bins and containers. This way, they give their customers the ability to only collect the containers that are truly full.
‍
Besides saving time and costs, optimizing waste collection routes has a positive ecological impact. Optimized routes mean less CO2 emissions and fewer plastic garbage bags.
‍
The sensors collect a variety of data. To extract the right insights and monitor everything, a platform is needed. The platform serves as a dashboard for the intelligent system.

Client Challenge

The platform needed to be developed quickly while maintaining high quality.
‍
Additionally, the platform had to be highly scalable and future-proof, anticipating the company's growth.
‍
Besides being fast and high-quality, the software needs to be extremely secure.

Solution

A platform to serve as a dashboard for monitoring the data from the sensors. This had to be done via an API.
‍
We assisted Rebin in developing the application as an extension of their own IT team.
‍
We brought our expertise in making thoughtful technical decisions, provided advice, and helped with rapid and high-quality development.

Approach

Together with Rebin, the technical architecture was thoroughly planned and designed.
‍
Next, assistance was provided in setting up the entire project.
‍
Through close co-creation, we helped ensure the software was written with high quality and developed quickly. Besides, the platform was made very secure.
‍
Scalability and future-proofing were considered in every decision made.
‍
Everything was well-documented along the way so they could fully take over without our help once done. However, we remain a partner for life should they need us.

Outcome

The Rebin platform was fully ready for use in only 2 months.
Rebin was all set to enter the market and start sales with their sensors.

9,210 kilometres less covered due to the optimization of waste collection routes.
7.6 tons of CO2 have already been saved.
13,410 plastic bags have been conserved.
