Active RFID for Waste Collection

PADOVATRE SIRV

RFID-based electronic emptying system to reduce the carbon footprint

IDnova – www.idnova.com

Environmental awareness

• Improve the citizens awareness of the amountof non-recyclable waste they produce;

• How to?– Inform citizens (global warming, biodiversity…);

– Build up the respect for the environment byteaching it at school;

• Finally…

SAVING MONEY THE LESS WASTE YOU PRODUCE THE LESS YOU PAY


How it works

1. Distribution of domestic bins for wastecollection;

2. Distribution of TAGs;

3. Instructions for the citizen.


Letter sending tags and instructions

GREEN – Grass

Leaves, hedge and grass cuttings,vegetable garden residue.

ORGANIC – Food waste

Food leftovers, rotten food, fruit,and vegetable waste, coffeegrounds, tea filters and bags, petexcrement and litter tray contents,cut flowers and house plants, stalebreads, oily or greasy paper towels,cold ashes, small bones and fishremains (bones and shells).

DRY – Non-recyclable dry material

Any other material not listed aboveand which does not come into anyother category.


How it works


How it works

For citizens

• Attach the tag to the bin;

• Fill the bin;

• Put the bin on the street onthe right day;

• Pay per use, proportionallyto the number of emptying.

For operators

• Take the RFID reader beforeleaving the depot: reader colourmatches the colour of waste binsto be collected;

• Empty bins as usual: noadditional operation required;

• Pay attention to the readerfeedbacks (warning on pendingpayments and wrong bins);

• Put the reader it in the cradle atthe depot: it will start anautomatic wireless datasynchronisation.


Why active RFID?

• Quick and dirty: because it works!

• It works fine: reading rate 100%!

• Minimum operators training:

– Take the device from the cradle and put it back;

– Execute only usual collecting operation;

• No changes to be made to the wastecollection vehicles.


Why active RFID?

• The device collects: bin_ID, timestamp,battery_level;

• Wow! I was going to forget concerns aboutbattery life?

• The battery life is of over 3 years – real datafrom the field.

• The RFID active tag is thin and light: a longerbattery life could be easily reached increasingits dimensions.


SIRV, some data

• The system has been running for over threeyears;

• Approximately 58 municipalities and 300kcitizens;

• We are planning the third generation of tag:

– New enclosure;

– Battery enhancement;

– Algorithm optimisation for power saving.


IDnova, our role in the project

• IDnova supported the customer Padova 3 in theproject analysis and in defining technicalrequirements;

• Provided the complete HW solution, starting fromalready existing products;

• Engineered and manufactured the necessary RFIDequipments;

• Developed the software layer for the integration ofthe RFID systems in the accounting/billing corporatesoftware;

• Professional services and maintenance.
