Automation of RSU Facilities

Tecnocons Srl has made a significant contribution to the development and optimization of the pneumatic waste collection system in Polignano a Mare. Our role is central in several key areas, including the automation of the entire system, design of electrical panels, and the creation of a waste collection column prototype.Our waste collection column, a key element of the system, has been designed with a focus on efficiency and hygiene. Each door is equipped with a sensor that detects the approach of the user and opens automatically, minimizing physical contact and enhancing the user experience. The unit can also be equipped with a weighing system, allowing for monitoring of the volume and weight of the waste deposited.

From an operational perspective, the column utilizes motorized pneumatic actuators to handle the opening and closing of the door, integrating a anti-crushing system to ensure user safety. Proximity sensors are used to detect the presence of the user and control the status of the door.Access is regulated through an RFID system, with the possibility of a future upgrade to keyless access via smartphone app. The column is equipped with a level sensor for monitoring the internal volume and utilizes Ethernet and Modbus TCP/RTU communication protocols for data transmission to the central control center.All components and functionalities of the column are designed to be highly adaptable and can be customized to meet different operational and design needs. This flexibility allows for easy integration into various types of waste collection facilities. On the automation side of the facility, Tecnocons Srl has developed and implemented solutions for centralized management of the system, including the design of electrical panels and software for facility management and monitoring. The automation of the entire system is enhanced through the use of artificial intelligence algorithms, optimizing flow management and further reducing environmental impact.

The facility automation has been advanced through the use of artificial intelligence algorithms, efficiently managing the flow of waste through the underground piping system, from strategically distributed collection points to the central collection center. This solution has made the system not only more efficient but also more sustainable, with a reduction of CO2 emissions by over 40% compared to traditional collection methods.Furthermore, we have developed the electrical panels that power and control the entire system. These panels are designed to be highly reliable and ensure uninterrupted operation of the collection facility. With these innovative solutions, Tecnocons Srl confirms its commitment to developing technologies that not only solve complex problems but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
