Automation of waste collection
Factory Waste Management
Waste is produced all over the production lines in the factory (unpackaging, cutting, clipping …). As material logistics and the whole production flow are carefully coordinated, such attention needs to be paid to the waste collection as well. EnableLabs introducestools designed to automate Waste collection in a factory with ease.
We help you in achieving waste traceability, allowing you to obtain valuable information on the type, amount, and location of waste generated in your facility. Thanks to our solution, you stay ahead of the curve and achieve your sustainability KPIs, while improving waste diversion rate. Furthermore, you avoid contamination and optimize your waste collection to save costs and prevent disruptions in the workflow. Additionally, all the data we help you to gather, enables you to create addressable measures towards your employees like training and education about proper sorting.
Our automated waste collection tools make it easy to coordinate and monitor waste production throughout your production lines. With our remote fill-level monitoring, you can track waste levels in real time and optimize the collection. Our Smart Waste Management system and collection app streamline the process, allowing drivers to efficiently navigate and collect waste on the floor plan dynamically.
EnableLabs provides smart enterprise-grade waste management optimized solutions for businesses and cities to efficiently manage the waste lifecycle, improve the environment and well-being of people.Factory Waste Management solution combinesSmart Buttons and/or Smart Sensors,Smart Waste Management System, a powerful software cloud-based platform, and aCollection App for Drivers.

Fullness notification
Smart Button allows assigned personnelto indicate that the bin is full. Upon pressing, it sends notifications to the EnableLabs Platform. Smart Sensors feed EnableLabs Platform with live measurements on bin fullness several times a day. Both Button and Sensor can be placed onbins and containers of various types and sizes and send notification from bothindoor and outdoor locations.
Smart Button is a simple and cost-efficient tool forhand-operated fullness notification. Smart Sensor is a reliable and effortless tool forautomatic fullness notification.
Waste Management Software Platform
The Factory Waste Management Operator immediately sees all the full bins in Dashboardand Route Planning Engine automatically recalculates the routes to accommodate the new full bin. Both Dashboard and Route Planning Engine are part of Smart Waste Management System, a powerful, cloud-based platform designed by EnableLabs. The waste management software platform offerscomprehensive control over waste collection operationsthrough remote management. It efficiently adapts to diverse rules and variables, enabling the accommodation of various scenarios. You can create a detailed database of all the bins including waste types, capacities, bin locations, and bin pickup points. Dashboard consolidates all the data from Smart Buttons, Smart Sensors and Mobile Collection App. By recalculating routes in real-time, particularly to address “full bin” notifications, the solution optimizes collection efficiency and responsiveness.
Mobile Collection App
Mobile Collection App revolutionizes waste management in factories by streamlining essential tasks. We designed theDashboard in Smart Waste Management System for Operators andCollection App for Drivers/Collectors. Collection App helps drivers navigate the premises and identify bins for collection and transportation. It simplifies waste collection through a convenient To-do List, while Floorplan Navigation andQR code-based Bin/Stand Identification enhances operational efficiency. The app further ensures service verification and enables prompt contamination feedback, promoting effective waste management practices and accountability. Collection Appsends all the data to the EnableLabs Platform and Operator has remote control.
Insights for optimization
Our data reports offer valuable insights for waste management in factories by providing weight data for the supervision of internal/external waste collectors, as well as ESG reporting. They facilitate a comprehensive understanding of waste production and collection frequency, empoweringdata-driven decisions to enhance sustainability KPIs, such as Waste Diversion Rate.These reports play a pivotal role in optimizing waste management strategies and promoting a more environmentally conscious operational approach. We are happy to source our data tofully customizable dashboards in Smart Analytics (Qlik platform) or send tailored e-mail reports to help you run amore efficient operation and report easily to management.
