  1. Emerging/Converging Technologies in the Solid Waste Industry By Pat Fahey, Pacific Systems

  2. Where we came from • Average Route Size 200 • Method of Operation: Manual • Creature Comforts: None • Radio Communication: Doughtfull

  3. Where we are now • Average Route Size: 850 • Fully Automated • Air Conditioned, Stereo Equipped • Radio Dispatched • Computer Equipped ?

  4. Curent and Emerging Technology • Onboard Computers • GPS: Global Positioning System • Rfid: Radio Frequency Identification • Real Time Digital Communication • Route Optimization

  5. OnBoard Computers • Handling Much Larger Route Files Generated by Residential Route Automation

  6. OnBoard Computers Functions Computerized Route List Posting Of Extra Recording of No Cans Out ‘NCO’ Sequencing of Route GPS Route Auditing And…….

  9. OnBoard ComputersOur Results • 40% increase in ‘Extra’ Revenue • 20 minutes per day per route decrease in administrative time • Unknown drop in unauthorized breaks

  10. GPS Common Myths There is a fee for Service It isn’t accurate Its too Expensive GPS Receiver under $150

  11. RFID Costs Overview Antenna and Transceivers $2400 Tags/Labels under $.50 per tag Tag Read Results from field testing 299 out of 300 tested at read range of Eight feet. Single failure do to damaged tag

  12. RFID • Radio Frequency Identifacation

  13. RFID RFID Tags give a positive confirmation of service to a particular cart. Used for • Container/Cart Inventory Control • Positioning Computerized Route Book • Determine type of Cart/Container

  14. RFID Antenna Readers/Transceiver

  15. Digital CommunicationWhere’s Waldo Real Time Update Information • Trucks Location • Status of Load • Tip Record

  16. Route OptimizationsThe Map Scurge • How efficient are we ? • Do we need that other Truck • The Data Issue • The Map Issue • National Benchmarks
