Digitalisation of internal waste containers at an automobile manufacturer
Challenge
In-house waste management is a challenge for production companies.
Slow, inefficient processes lead to disruptions in the production process.
Rising disposal costs reduce the operating result.
A US car manufacturer with plants in Germany wants to optimise its internal waste management.
They want a solution that can be easily integrated into existing systems and processes.
- Provision of analytics functions for optimisation
- Vehicle capacity of waste collection vehicles must be taken into account
- Different waste types, container types and work plans of employees
- Specified tight timeframe for project implementation
Solution
In cooperation with Sensoneo and H solutions, a Sigfox-based sensor and button reporting technology in combination with a Smart Waste Management System was developed in six weeks.
The platform has a route planning engine for order-dependent and independent route optimisation, a waste collection app for drivers, as well as numerous analysis functions.
Benefit
Optimisation of waste management in production halls through analytics and reduction of disposal costs.
The data findings make it possible to optimise waste management in manufacturing companies.
- Cost savings and reduced energy consumption, through optimised driver routes
- Increasing productivity within the framework of lean production and 5S concepts by promoting increased orderliness
- Transparency about the waste produced
- Less Co2 emissions, through avoidance of empty runs
“The cooperation with the project team was extremely professional and the project was carried out exactly according to the approved project plan. Our new Factory Waste Management solution brings order and efficiency to our internal waste management. In addition to optimised collection routes, we receive valuable data that we need for strategic decisions regarding our waste management policy,” confirmed the logistics analyst of a leading US manufacturer in the automotive sector”.
