Bin Infrastructure Digitization

Asset Management solution is a smart enterprise-grade solution for cities and businesses to digitalize bin inventory, to cost-efficiently manage bin distribution and make data-driven decisions. It includes a digital map and street view, bin inventory, bin location optimization (capacity, cost), maintenance evidence and a cost planning tool.

Naturpack manage tens of thousands of bins all across the country (49k km2) for all different commodities – glass, paper, plastics. In September 2018, the first 17 500 bins were added to the Sensoneo Platform.

Detailed inventory

Detailed inventory includes GPS location, capacity, waste and bin type, pick-up time, and the price for a pick-up of each bin. This allows Naturpack to have a centralized and unified bin inventory sourced from all the waste management companies they cooperate with.

Interactive digital map

Naturpack sees all the bins in Slovakia, no matter which waste company manages them. This allows Naturpack to think on a national, regional, or local scale rather than a “waste management company” region scale.

All bins are visible on the map – the exact bin location and type of waste (colour differentiation). Filters allow you to see specific bins. Next to the map, the operator sees a detailed bin inventory for the bins on the map. Street view allows you to visit any bin on the map virtually.

Assessment of bin infrastructure

Ensure optimal distribution of bins. A map with a detailed bin inventory allows Naturpack to identify areas with dense bin distribution and areas with sparse bin distribution. The key goal is to have all trash types represented within a stand, to eliminate expensive stand pick-up (long drive).

Estimate waste collection costs

Naturpack does not collect bins. Contracted waste management companies collect waste.

Based on the location and waste type, Naturpack can model different collection routes and the system calculates the costs. This way they can identify bins that drive collection costs up and adjust bin capacities or bin locations to decrease kilometres and waste collection costs.

Results

One system for all regional offices

No more excel sheets and fragmented bin inventory among regional offices. One system where Naturpack can see the big picture as well as small local ones. Asset Management & Sensoneo Platform make everyday asset management easier and faster, and the information more accessible.

Control over bin network

One Naturpack has all the data in one place; the system provides insights on a silver platter. Get answers in just a few clicks – What capacity for glass is there in this region? Are all commodities represented in the stand? What drives collection costs up in my area? We want 2 more tons of paper – which locations are underserved and need more bins?

Transparency

Such a great area with a large number of bins and many partners is a challenging ecosystem to manage. Sensoneo solution enables transparency between Naturpack and waste management companies they contract to collect waste.
