The latest technology of RFID has been using for waste management tracking. Nephsystem Technologies helps municipalities and waste removal services automate waste collection and optimize waste management fleet tracking to enable pay-as-you-throw and recycling incentive programs.
How Does RFID-Enabled Waste Management Tracking Work?
First, a specialized Nephsystem RFID hard tag is embedded or affixed to the bin/container. Then, an RFID reader with antenna is integrated into the truck’s loading structure to instantly capture the IDs of each bin. Data collected, like container type, weight or collection time, is used to monitor collection activity, improve route planning, elaborate statistics and reduce operating costs.
For waste management companies, tracking waste is a slow, costly and labor intensive process. RFID technology is enabling a change, and no one is more Nephsystem Technologies commits to continuing to develop and deliver the necessary solutions to optimize efficiency, economy and traceability in waste management.
WHY RFID?
A fully-realized RFID solution supports identification and traceability of waste streams. Tags attached to waste containers let operators monitor sorting quality, track the number of times a container is set out for collection and track the time of collection. It also simplifies billing for service and supports the implementation of incentive based invoicing.
WHY Nephsystem Technologies?
Nephsystem Technologies has long been the world leader in the development of secure contactless technology, producing millions of RFID tags worldwide. For waste management, the company offers a range of tags suitable for a broad range of operations—residential and commercial bins, medical waste containers, skips, bottle banks, and more— along with handheld UHF readers, reader cores, support services and years of experience in secure contactless implementation. Our innovative products are compliant with all relevant standards and are fully interoperable with other standardized components and systems. Our goal is to simplify the operator’s tasks, provide increased transparency of operations, and to maximize return on the operator’s investment.
Demands of the Application
The demands of waste management will continue to grow. More municipalities are putting radio-frequency tags on garbage bins, use the tags as part of its "pay as you throw" program.
“Pay-as you-throw” may be implemented to encourage reduction of waste and increased recycling. And changes in waste handling technology may require the ability to track certain materials, not just at pickup, but through the entire process. No matter what your application requires, Nephsystem will meet the need.
How Tags Are Used
In typical home or business RFID waste management, the unique ID number of a tag is associated to a bin and that bin’s owner or address. In the recognize, lift and register process, the tag is read when the bin is lifted and the information time coded and logged.
The right RFID reader for every job
To complete the solution, Nephsystem Technologies offers handheld readers and top-quality fixed readers that meet all established standards and have consistently raised the bar for performance.
