OptiWaste – Flow
Optimisation of Waste Networks
Turn the complexity of your waste network into certain margins — in minutes.
Business problem
Managing waste flows means balancing hundreds of sources, waste types, plants and regulatory constraints every day, often with tools that can’t cope with the complexity.
The result: plans that take weeks to build and become obsolete at the first surprise, logistics costs out of control and decisions driven more by experience than by data.
OptiWasteFlow removes this complexity and gives decision-makers certainty. The solution models the entire network, optimises it automatically and generates a new optimisation plan in minutes. Every plan is updated on real data and can be compared with alternative scenarios.
Our solution
OptiWasteFlow is a proprietary enterprise solution that applies artificial intelligence to the strategic and tactical planning of waste flows. It supports decision-makers in allocating flows optimally across the plant network, with full control on three levels:
- Strategic planning: four-year industrial plans and annual budgets built across the entire network.
- Tactical planning: intra-year revised budgets (monthly or weekly) updated on actuals through full integration with the client’s systems.
- Asset utilisation: optimisation of treatment and disposal capacity to maximise the use of available plants.
How it works
OptiWasteFlow models the network in every aspect: from the detailed configuration of plants to constraints and waste sources. It works in three steps:
- Network configuration: define waste sources, treatment plants (with transformation coefficients) and final destinations (landfills). The model replicates your real network in every detail.
- Optimisation engine: advanced proprietary algorithms minimise total costs and maximise margins while respecting all mix and capacity constraints, and at the same time maximising the amount of waste handled.
- What-if analysis: change one variable (a logistics cost, a plant’s capacity, a regulatory constraint) and instantly get the new optimised plan. Alternative scenarios in minutes, not days.
Benefits
- Maximised margins: logistics and plant costs minimised while respecting every operational and regulatory constraint.
- Drastically reduced planning times: complex strategic and tactical plans ready in minutes, not days.
- Data-driven decisions: planners’ experience becomes automated, repeatable processes, measurable against reliable KPIs.
- Strategic agility: assess the impact of any change to the network in real time, before it becomes a problem.
