Digitalisation of the disposal of used grease in the catering sector
Challenge
Used cooking fat from the catering industry is an important raw material with a legal obligation for disposal.
The customer, a waste grease disposal company, offers a complete all-round service. It provides restaurants, snack bars and canteen owners with a used-fat container that matches their consumption, collects it free of charge at regular intervals and recycles it in an environmentally friendly way.
A total of 40,000 containers in different sizes and shapes are in circulation. The collected grease is cleaned and further processed into diesel.
The company does not have an overview of the fill level of the individual containers so that routes can be optimally planned.
- Manual processes in the planning of driver routes
- (Half) empty bins are collected
- Rising energy costs burden operating result
- Previous solutions did not produce satisfactory results, as sensors cannot be replaced or cleaned by the driver.
Solution
In cooperation with Sensoneo and H solutions a radar sensor including a specially developed holder is used, which detects the fill level through the container lid and reports it to an analysis platform.
The data is processed and analysed in the platform.
Benefit
Increased efficiency in the planning of optimal routes for the disposal of used grease.
- Cost savings for petrol and diesel, as optimised routes lead to less consumption
- Less Co2 emissions as (half)empty driving is avoided
- Satisfied employees, as the solution does not cause any additional work
