Schaeffler, the global Motion Technology Company, is a leading manufacturer of rolling element bearings for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. The Schaeffler Group views sustainability as a comprehensive, overarching topic and assumes ecological and social responsibility throughout the entire value chain.
As part of this mission, Schaeffler partnered with Sensoneo to digitalize its waste management processes. This initiative aimed to improve operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and create a robust data-driven waste management system.
“Real-time monitoring of container status is a major advantage because we can track it remotely, saving time for staff who no longer have to physically check containers or coordinate pickups with the collection company. At the same time, the entire system from Sensoneo is seamlessly connected in an end-to-end way, from measuring container fullness to the final weighing of the waste.”
