The Challenge
The world generates 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste annually, and traditional waste management methods are proving to be highly inefficient. Approximately 80% of waste is collected at the wrong time, leading to overflowing bins, unsanitary environments, citizen complaints, illegal dumping, and increased cleaning and collection costs. Early waste collections also contribute to unnecessary carbon emissions, increased traffic congestion, and higher operating costs. Nordsense, a Denmark-based company, aims to address these challenges and revolutionize the waste management sector using IoT sensors and data insights.
The Customer

Nordsense

About The Customer
Nordsense's customers are municipalities, cities, and waste operators looking to optimize their waste services and transition to sustainable practices. These customers are spread worldwide and are in need of a solution that can provide real-time data on waste generation patterns to enable efficient waste collection at the right time. They require a solution that is easy to install and activate, can be tailored to specific waste needs and operational situations, and can be integrated with other systems.
The Solution
Nordsense offers an end-to-end smart waste management solution that helps municipalities, cities, and waste operators optimize waste services and transition to sustainable practices. The solution uses IoT technology to provide real-time data on waste generation patterns, enabling efficient waste collection at the right time. Nordsense relies on Telit for robust IoT connectivity management solutions, including the IoT Connectivity Portal. The portal offers an interactive user experience with easy-to-use dashboards and charts. Nordsense can easily configure billing and provisioning parameters through Telit’s integrated device platforms and leverage AI automation routines to ensure maximum uptime and performance at the lowest cost across multiple carriers and regions. Nordsense selected Telit’s leading-edge 4G IoT module ME310G1-WW, which ensures secure connectivity, extended battery life, and roaming.
Operational Impact
  • The Nordsense solution includes smart sensors, a smart waste management platform, a navigator app, and asset tracking. The smart sensors are 16-point 3D optical laser sensors powered by IoT and made from recycled plastics. They fit inside waste containers and capture data every 15 minutes. The smart waste management platform translates this data into actionable insights to improve waste collection. The navigator app provides intelligent routing with optimized and cost-efficient collection routes based on real-time fill level data. Asset tracking provides a transparent overview of waste container locations and movements, enabling waste authorities to optimize their inventory management and prevent theft. The solution’s installation and activation process takes minutes, and it can be tailored to specific waste needs and operational situations. The solution’s APIs allow it to be integrated with other systems.
