Solo Resource Recovery understands the importance that collection statistics play in the overall management of council waste. That is why collection vehicles are fitted with specifically designed in-vehicle waste management systems (IVMS) and high definition cameras.
The IVMS is responsible for recording driver notifications such as bin presentation issues, and contamination events. Most events automatically register if a bin got emptied without needing input from the driver, due to sensors fitted to the lifter arm.
GPS tracking allows council officers and operations to monitor the waste collection in real-time, while tracking the position and status of our waste vehicles. Modules which make up the system are:
Each module allows for detailed operational data and reporting thanks to the integration between the IVMS hardware and cloud based software portal. Working together with council through a common cloud based portal simplifies the management and streamlines communication.
