Massimo Galasso, General Manager of Cosvega srl, describes Partitalia's technologies for RFID waste management as «flexible, innovative and versatile». In particular, 'Discovery Mobile' is the RFID wearable solution that identifies the deliveries, transferring the data to 'Discovery Cloud'.
Waste collection company: Cosvega srl
Cosvega srl is a company that deals with urban hygiene services, maintenance of green areas and the territory for some Municipalities in the vicinity of Francavilla a Mare, where it has its headquarters, and for other territories in the province of Latina and Rome.
The company chose “Discovery Mobile” for RFID Pay As You Throw waste collection above all because, Galasso continues:
«Versatility was very important for us: the fact of being able to make the punctual measurement with a simple bracelet, which can be adapted to the territory, to the viability and population density of the country.
The ease of use of the RFID bracelet
"Discovery Mobile" is in fact a very simple and intuitive wearable device. During punctual collection, the waste collector uses the bracelet to read the RFID tag on the bag or bin, with no other technology at hand. The design of the device interface is studied in such a way that its use is immediately understandable: to activate the RFID readings it is only necessary to press the yellow key set for reading.
Data collection: more than 99% match
When starting construction sites, operators are usually supported with a brief accompaniment in the field, without further training.
As further proof of the efficiency of the solution, during RFID waste management carried out with the "Discovery Mobile" bracelet, a correspondence of more than 99.5% between sockets and readings was ascertained: the readings found proved to be reliable with a minimum error statistically acceptable only related to some bad coding or damaged tags that could not have been read anyway.
This confirmed the reliability of "Discovery Mobile", a precious and precise ally for waste collection: if on the one hand the operator receives confirmation of the successful reading thanks to the vibration, on the other hand the data is not deleted from the device until the server does not provide feedback.
The working method does not change
The accuracy of the readings thus makes it possible to implement a reliable RFID Pay As You Throw waste collection, which integrates without obstacles to the working method adopted by the ecological operator. In fact, the “Discovery Mobile” RFID bracelet does not change operations, but exploits the naturalness of collection gestures. In this regard, the physical lightness and small size of the device are two fundamental characteristics, which make the technology very comfortable and usable.
Certifications and safety
"Discovery Mobile" is one of the certified waste collection systems: in addition to RED compliance, with the consequent affixing of the CE mark and an IP67 degree of protection, "Discovery Mobile" is the only wearable RFID reader to have passed the SAR tests, falling within the parameters established by DL 81\08 – Consolidated Law on Workers' Safety, TITLE VIII, CHAPTER IV.
