Over 14 years, Maacks has evolved into the leading player in the Danish market in this field and looks forward to presenting its latest solutions to an international audience from 13-17 May at IFAT 2024, this year's major European trade fair for environmental and waste management.<\/p><p>Visitors will experience how digital technology can solve a pressing issue: overfilled or too empty waste bins are a daily reality in many municipalities when employees make their regular collection rounds. This costs working hours, causes frustration, and can lead to poorer service, poor sorting, pollution, and increased CO<sub>2<\/sub>-emissions.<\/p><p>BrainyBins<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>solution from Maacks digitises data collection and creates an overview, operational stability, and optimal decisions. Hans Christian Pedersen, CEO of Maacks, comments on the significant advantages:<\/p><p>- The emptying frequency can be reduced by up to 40 per cent with BrainyBins\u00ae, as monitoring and emptying of waste containers become data-driven and can be carried out as needed.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p><strong>Future digitisation of waste logistics<br \/><\/strong>BrainyBins<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is a comprehensive solution that includes software and sensors for optimising logistics at recycling stations and emptying waste bins.

Here, the system is connected to several customers operating a BrainyBins<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> system with Dynamic Route. Maacks currently has over 7,000 sensors in operation and handles 1 million collections.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p><strong>AI-optimised route planning<br \/><\/strong>The prognosis tool in the BrainyBins<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>platform is based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This makes the route planning system continuously better at predicting when each container should be emptied next, as it incorporates current measurements with BrainyBins\u00ae fill level sensors, history, drivers' reports, and other data sources.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p><strong>Precise data from BrainyBins<\/strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><strong> Radar<br \/><\/strong>BrainyBins<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Radar sensors, Maacks' fill level sensors, are equipped with the latest radar technology, ensuring accurate measurements of fill levels, whether it's bottles, pizza boxes, paper, metal, or something else.

He continues:<\/p><p>- Our customers, who are municipalities and waste handling companies, find that they can improve operations within waste management, providing better tools for employees, improving citizen satisfaction, and reducing CO<sub>2<\/sub>-emissions and contributing to meeting ambitious climate plans.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p><strong>Dynamic route planning<br \/><\/strong>BrainyBins<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is a complete system that also includes an administrative module.
