Nordsense: Redefining IoT Waste Management
According to the World Bank Group, the world generates 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste annually. Traditional?waste management?is highly inefficient, and 80% of waste is collected at the wrong time. Late waste collections lead to:
- Overflowing bins
- Unsanitary environments
- Citizen complaints
- Illegal dumping
- Increased cleaning and collection costs
Early waste collections result in unnecessary carbon emissions and increased traffic congestion and operating costs.
Denmark-based?Nordsense?is on a mission to turn the waste management sector on its head and kick-start a smart waste management revolution using IoT sensors and data insights. Nordsense offers an end-to-end smart waste management solution. It helps municipalities, cities and waste operators optimize waste services and transition to sustainable practices. The solution uses IoT technology to provide real-time data on waste generation patterns to collect waste efficiently at the right time.
Connectivity Is the Key
With connectivity key to the success of Nordsense’s technology, the company vetted five 4G IoT module suppliers. Telit was the standout choice.
“Telit’s combined offer of hardware and global connectivity services has been essential to smooth operations at Nordsense. This and the stellar developer support that Telit has continued to deliver long after our integration process has made them a highly trusted partner.”
Nicolai Bentsen, Chief Technical Officer at Nordsense
