Rudersdal Municipality finishes installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rudersdal Municipality has just completed the installation of 400 intelligent 3rd generation full detectors in the municipality's rubbish bins. The full detector is a sensor with the latest generation of radar technology, which precisely registers the filling level in all the rubbish bins which the municipality has placed at bus stops, paths, streets, and squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new technology, the typical sources of errors in the environment around the sensor are avoided. In practice, this means that the challenges of measuring in open containers are eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe achieve better target fulfillment - no wasted time driving due to incorrect measurements,\u201d says Thomas S\u00f8gaard, operations manager in Rudersdal Municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also become easier for the performing employee with the new app \u2013 a dedicated tool that generates the most optimal emptying route live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe users of the new app have accepted it very well, and the intuitive user interface has contributed a lot to making the implementation a success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTime has gone fast, and the employees have accepted the new tool. We save time on emptying, and our employees have been given a user-friendly tool to plan their working day,\u201d says Thomas S\u00f8gaard. He continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a technology that can change daily operations because it works, and because the employees experience a high level of usability that fits into their daily routine. We see it as an effective tool to better achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is called BrainyBins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All sensors are connected via Cloud to an app-based solution, where the filling level of the individual bins are constantly monitored. A route plan is continuously generated so that the least possible amount of time is spent on emptying, and unnecessary trips to bins, that are not full, are avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is called BrainyBins\u00ae and is provided by the S\u00f8nderborg-based company Maacks, specialists in the digitalization of waste management. The sensors are mounted in containers of 42 and 90 liters respectively. The radar technology effectively distinguishes between air and waste, thus providing a true picture of the fill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decisive advantage of the new radar-based sensor is that false measurements do not occur due to dirty lenses or, for example, pizza trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple installation within ten minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The installation of the radar sensors only takes 10 minutes, including the physical mounting of the fill level sensor at the top of the waste container and the connection via the cloud to the BrainyBins\u00ae software. The latter is done by swiping a magnet along the side of the device. You can immediately see in the app whether it is functioning as it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started as a pilot project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the implementation, a very compressed pro\u00adcess has taken place. At the beginning of the year, Rudersdal Municipality entered into an agreement with Maacks to test both BrainyBins Radar sensors and BrainyBins Software. In the first phase, the solu\u00adtion was tested, and when it proved that it could de\u00adliver as promised, the municipality quickly moved on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe full detector solution worked as it should, and therefore we quickly proceeded to install all 400 sensors and the entire software package. Immediately after the summer holidays, BrainyBins\u00ae were rolled out to the last of the municipality\u2019s two service teams, which are responsible for emptying the bins,\u201d says Thomas S\u00f8gaard. He continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have saved around 15 percent on emptying our bins, so the investment will pay off. Waste collection is one of the biggest items in the Vej & Parks budget, so it matters a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the operations manager, more can probably be retrieved as the collected data is analysed, but perhaps not quite the 40-50 per cent that the manufacturers emphasise. Among other things because the municipality inspects the bins at least once every 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good tool for employees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Rudersdal Municipality, they work with self-\u00admanaging teams, and here it is important to have the right tools so that they can organize the work themselves. In this connection, BrainyBins\u00ae is a great help, because employees find the app\u2019s user interface very intuitive and easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has become easier for the performing employee\u00ad\nwith the new app, which is a dedicated tool that generates the most optimal route live,\u201d says Thomas S\u00f8gaard and continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe users of the new app have accepted it very well, and the easy user interface has contributed a lot to making the implementation a success. With a precise plan, employees can better organize their daily work, so they know how much time they have for other tasks later in the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operations manager believes that good digital tools, that make work more meaningful, are important in today\u2019s heated job market. Many are already used to working with apps, and here is BrainyBins\u00ae user-friendly solution a good asset that has contri\u00adbuted to making the implementation a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Thomas S\u00f8gaard is pleased that the BrainyBins\u00ae fill level solution fits perfectly into the munici\u00adpality\u2019s digitalisation strategy with its data-driven operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendor support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rudersdal Municipality already has a lot of experience with digitising waste bins, and it has been important for Thomas S\u00f8gaard to collaborate with a supplier that specialises in waste management and where support is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThroughout the entire implementation, my emplo\u00adyees have had direct contact with Maacks\u2019 support\u00adteam. They have been competent and quick to return, which has made the commissioning much easier.\u201d says Thomas S\u00f8gaard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The S\u00f8nderborg company Maacks supplies digital solutions for automating emptying and route planning to many Danish municipalities and waste companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the BrainyBins\u00ae technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Robust radar technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BrainyBins\u00ae Radar sensors are based on radar technology and measure the \u00adfilling level of waste bins or contai\u00adners. The sensor is installed on top of the bin\/container and is made of robust materials. Thanks to radar technology, problems of dirty lenses and thus false fill level reports can be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic route planning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

BrainyBins\u00ae is a comprehensive system that also includes an administrative module. With the sensors and the administrative software, one can optimise emptying and automate route planning. This saves time and money, protects the environment, and at the same time provides employees with a more meaningful daily routine.<\/p>\n\n\n

Available via PC or mobile version<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

The administration module is available via PC or mobile version, and it can be expanded with modules that optimise route planning and notify transport companies\/transport \u00addepartments. The result is less CO2 emission, more satisfied citizens, and a more targeted effort of human resources.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2946,"template":"","kategorier":[152],"class_list":["post-2162","cases","type-cases","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorier-vej-park"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainybins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cases\/2162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainybins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cases"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainybins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cases"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brainybins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cases\/2162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brainybins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainybins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brainybins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorier?post=2162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
