Waste has emerged as one of the biggest problems of various
households and businesses. Today waste management has become a matter of global
problem. As a result, recycling along with pollution reduction efforts and resource
conservation are implemented worldwide. Over the years, RFID solutions for waste
industry have proved to streamline and improve efficiency in such programs.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems were initially
been used for paying as and when you throw waste and recycle collection
programs. Asset tags were initially attached to the recycling and waste
containers while data were been collected with the bins being full. This further
alerts haulers for deploying a vehicle in order to empty bins.
Efficient tracking of
waste materials
However, RFID technology helps the recycling and waste industry in the tracking, management
of work order along with repairs of waste containers. Research suggests there
has been growth is the use of RFID tags, beneficial for managing carts and tracking
collection service. Recycling carts are usually RFID tagged that helps in
monitoring participation levels by street, individual homes and route.
RFID technology
allows automated tracking along with real-time verification of a cart
throughout its span. This technology further collects collection data of RFID
cart, allowing managers to monitor several aspects of route operations such as
missed stops, route progress, and vehicle condition and so on. These help in
tracking real-time data, further improving safety, fleet productivity and
availability.
Improved route
planning
The past few years has witnessed several additions such as
route driver inputs, on-board cameras and others. The integration of RFID
solutions with GPS, telematics systems, cellular and GPS helps in improving
route planning and efficient real-time vehicle monitoring.
Thus, we can see from the above-mentioned points that RFID technology is the next-door solution
in reducing waste. With its improved collection, disposal along with
traceability of waste materials, RFID tags aids in solving the age-old problem
of waste accumulation.
