How does dynamic weighing work?
The dynamic weighing system is a solution that automates the waste weighing process, eliminating the need for manual operation. The principle is simple yet extremely effective:
- The system weighs the full container suspended on the vehicle’s lifting fork.
- After emptying, it automatically weighs the empty container.
- Based on the weight difference, it determines the exact mass of waste.
As a result, employees no longer need to manually tare each container – the system does all the work for them, which significantly accelerates the waste collection process.
Key benefits of the dynamic weighing system
Accurate customer billing (pay as you throw)
The system enables precise billing of residents for the actual amount of waste generated. This fair method of calculating fees means that people who produce less waste pay less. Moreover, awareness of weight-dependent fees effectively motivates residents to reduce waste through better segregation, composting, or reducing the amount of packaging used.
Better control and reporting
Thanks to the automatic weighing system, the company gains access to precise data on collected waste. This increases the transparency of operations and the credibility of reporting both for internal purposes and supervisory institutions. Accurate mass measurements make it possible to prepare reliable declarations and reports, facilitate inspections and audits, especially in the context of inter-municipal settlements.
Protection against illegal waste dumping
The system monitors the waste mass in each container, enabling the detection of unusual increases that may indicate potential illegal collection. This functionality allows the company to effectively protect its own interests and those of its customers, preventing unjustified fee increases.
Summary
The dynamic weighing system represents a key step toward modern waste management. Automating the weighing process not only increases operational efficiency but also ensures fair billing, better control over the waste stream, and more effective protection against abuse. It’s an investment that quickly brings measurable benefits to both municipal companies and the communities they serve.
