Paprec optimizes its recycling collection and fleet management

Company
Paprec Group initially specialized in paper recycling and extended its services in 1995 to  diversify the company?s product offering. Now they provide a range of comprehensive services for the recycling industry.

Challenge
To provide a solution that would optimize the waste recycling collection for fleet management.

Solution
500 trucks equipped with Baracoda RoadRunners Barcode Readers partnered with embedded touch screen terminals. The terminals contain a geographic localization application, assisted browsing, as well as a professional application developed by Paprec. This application was developed for the management of dumpster collections and deposits from a remote office location.

IT Architecture
Each dumpster is identified with a barcode which is read by the driver with a Baracoda RoadRunners scanner. This barcode is transmitted via Bluetooth to the embedded terminal in the driver?s cab.  By detecting the arm activation, the terminal indicates if the dumpster is deposited or collected. The GPS device is used to indicate the geographic position of the truck at the operation site.  

Key Benefits

- Detailed reports generated in real-time by a Novacom platform
- Optimization of the driver´s operational time
