End-to-end solutions enable waste collectors to combine any kind of planning in one IT system. With as result, routes are driven more efficiently which significantly decreases planning time and at the same time improves customer service.

Due to the algorithm developed by AMCS, Germany’s second-largest recycling company can meet the increasingly complex planning demands for the operation with over 2.000 vehicles everyday servicing around 200.000 customer contact points.

Mitigating operational, financial, health and safety risk. Through the real-time exchange of data with the centralised enterprise management system, the in-cab device of AMCS Mobile Workforce delivers waste and recycling companies exactly that.

A key principle of recycling is that you get out what you put in. Quality in, quality out is a mantra we often hear from reprocessors. It’s a challenge for a paper or card-recycling mill to make it happen. Figures vary from country to country, but typically 70-75 per cent of paper and card is recycled in European countries and around 65 per cent in the United States. As the various grades of paper-based products make their way on the recycling journey, these are often mixed with other materials. This is true even where there are specialised containers for collecting paper and cardboard.

Completely automating all operational and administrative processes; all the way from the back end of the truck to billing customers based on paid by service using RFID technology for weighing. AMCS Platform enables AES, the Irish leading provider of waste management and services, to streamline the entire operation.

The paper and forest-products industry is steadily growing and transforming, as the types of products demanded across the globe continue to evolve. As we drive towards a circular economy, the industry has to invest more in recycling. Today, this means applying cutting-edge technology to a complex process.

Paper and plastic recyclers hit by the current crises can still bounce back. This is the firm opinion of the Madrid based Gerard Kissane who has over 10 years of experience in the waste industry. “Mapping the inbound and outbound processes can indicate where there is room for improvement and with that, how to increase growth and margins.”

The turmoil caused by COVID-19 and subsequent restrictions have caused waste and recycling business models to change instantly. "Technology can provide assistance, but companies really need to review the entire process."

Can the planning department cut down from 50 to 10 planners? “Yes is the answer to this question by centralising the planning with intelligent optimisation”, according to Madrid based Gerard Kissane who has over 10 years of experience in the waste industry.

The collection and transport of waste are one of the most challenging with a lot of different types of waste and planning each of them having its own demands.

The AMCS Group is to exhibit at the virtual trade show eREC which takes place from August 28 until September 4.
