The Challenge
As the waste industry continues to evolve and focus on more efficient and effective methods of tracking and deploying containers and other assets, were excited to be able to offer a solution for our customers.
The Customer
Wastequip
About The Customer
Wastequip, a North American manufacturer of waste and recycling equipment.
The Solution
Compology installs rugged sensors inside roll-off containers to track fullness and GPS location. Compologys sensors and software consistently outperformed other technology offerings in the harshest conditions. It is available on new Wastequip roll-off containers and can be retrofitted to any container already in use.
The interactive calculator allows users to enter the number of roll-off trucks they run daily along with their average revenue per haul. The calculator assumes that waste haulers can reduce the number of days on site per container by just one day, allowing the hauler to redeploy the container to another customer to generate additional revenue. All assumptions made as part of the revenue calculations are clearly detailed within the website.

Water Treatment Energy Management
Water pumping, treatment and conveyance are among the largest energy and cost outlays for many local and regional municipalities. Electricity time-of-use rates and peak pricing tariffs are driving those costs even higher. This case study describes how Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA) implemented a process data monitoring and control solution in order to analyze and optimize energy use, reduce deployment costs and save operational expenses.

A SMART SOLUTION FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
A detailed study conducted by a student from Universidad Pontificia Comillas ICAI in Spain highlighted the need for ecologically safe and sustainable products. While recycling plays an important role in the circular economy, many consumers don’t recycle for a variety of reasons, including lack of space, inconveniently located recycling centers and collection containers, or distrust and/or disbelief in the recycling process. Organizations needed a model that made recycling easier and more accessible for everyone.

Smart Energy Management: A Case Study of BTC City Ljubljana
BTC City Ljubljana, one of the largest business, shopping, entertainment, recreation and cultural centers in Europe, faced a significant challenge due to its high energy consumption. The center's energy needs were comparable to those of urban centers, due to its large number of facilities, wide area, and high consumption of electricity, water, and heating. The management recognized the economic necessity of energy management and sought to reduce energy consumption and costs, as well as subsequent CO2 emissions. They aimed to implement an energy management (EM) system for its multi-purpose facilities, in line with the ISO 50001 standard, which supports organizations to conserve resources and tackle climate change. The challenge was to control the consumption of individual energy products and monitor consumption by individual end-users, requiring tools for easy data collection, performance analysis, and production of automated reports.
