La paper cardboard material flow management is crucial to maximizing efficiency and profits in waste collection platforms. The SIMEX WASTE FLOW system, already proven in various production environments, has been customized to offer complete control of the receiving, baling and selection processes, ensuring rapid decisions and real-time data for operators and technical managers.
Management of waste flows entering the collection platforms
SIMEX WASTE FLOW automatically records each incoming load, tracking type, weight and origin through:
- Automatic registration of license plate and operator via palmtop or web terminal
- Classification waste paper (white paper, cardboard, mixed paper)
- Certified weight with connected scales in line
All data flows into a centralized database, allowing for historical analysis and storage forecasts.
Calculation of productivity coefficients of the pressing process
The SIMEX WASTE FLOW pressing module measures:
- Cycle time (loading→pressing→unloading)
- Weight per cycle
- Number of bales produced
This allows you to compare performance between different shifts, lines or sites and optimize machine parameters.
Calculate profit margins in real time
Thanks to the standard costs of disposal, storage and processing entered in the register, SIMEX provides:
- Estimated Revenue by type (€/t)
- Operating cost calculated on machine hours and consumables
- Net margin updated with each new bale produced
The dashboard highlights margins per single load and cumulative daily margins for immediate business decisions.
Easy to use and intuitive to consult
One of the strengths of SIMEX WASTE FLOW is its extremely intuitive interface, designed to be used even by operators who are not IT experts. The system stands out for its ease of access to data, the clarity of the information presented and the logical organization of the functions. Thanks to a modular and customizable structure, each user can access only the information relevant to their role, reducing the risk of errors and increasing operational efficiency.
Data consultation takes place via web browser, tablet, industrial PDA or mobile phone with screens optimized for each type of device. Warehouse data, production recipes, batch information and efficiency indexes are displayed in real time through graphical dashboards, interactive tables and summary cards. Each parameter is accessible with just a few clicks, and the operating paths are guided to simplify daily operations as much as possible.
La learning curve is minimal: a few hours of training are enough to make operators autonomous. Furthermore, the ability to integrate images, documents and RFID tags further facilitate navigation and traceability. SIMEX WASTE FLOW is therefore an ideal solution for those looking for simple, fast and immediately operational digital management.
Interfacing to presses and selection systems
SIMEX supports standard protocols (OPC UA, Modbus TCP/IP) for:
- Real-time monitoring press status and selection sensors
- Automatic setting of machine cycles and recipes
- Receiving alarms and notifications (e.g. jams, scheduled maintenance)
Bidirectional integration ensures smoother workflows and quick interventions in case of anomalies.
Real-time report management and calculation of the foreign fraction
With SIMEX WASTE FLOW:
- Daily, weekly and monthly reports are generated automatically
- Foreign fraction (non-compliant materials) is calculated as a percentage of the total weight
- Dedicated dashboard shows trends and deviations, supporting internal audits and regulatory compliance
This allows to reduce waste and reworking costs, improving the quality of the finished product.
Flow management with palmtop and RFID technologies
Platform operators use:
- Android PDAs for quick recording of loading and unloading
- RFID tag applied to containers and pallets for automatic identification
- RFID Fixed Stations inbound/outbound for traceability without human error
The handheld+RFID combination ensures timely data, reducing registration times by up to 40%.
Plant efficiency summary dashboard
La dashboard central display:
- Key KPIs (CP, Net Margin) with interactive charts
- Historical trend and comparison between lines
- Analytics-based predictive maintenance indicators
A modular dashboard allows you to customize views for operators, supervisors, and management.
The summary screen is easily accessible from any remotely connected device.
The user interface is optimized for intuitive use on smartphones, tablets and computers, ensuring full compatibility with major web browsers. Viewing on large screens is also planned, perfect for use in control rooms or centralized monitoring environments.
Information is updated in real time, providing immediate access to key data. This enables you to make quick and well-supported decisions, based on concrete and updated values, reducing intervention times and improving overall efficiency, without having to wait for subsequent analyses of the collected data.
Photographic Document Management
SIMEX includes a multimedia archive for:
- Photo abnormal loads for quality control
- Intervention documentation maintenance and repair
- Visual tracking of defective bales or contamination
Images are linked to process reports, facilitating post-mortem analysis and corrective actions.
Customized solutions with connection to MES and ERP
Thanks to native connectors and RESTful API, SIMEX integrates with:
- MES to synchronize production orders and line status
- ERP for invoicing, warehouse and accounting flows
- SCADA for advanced analysis and management reporting
The modular architecture guarantees scalability and customization based on the needs of each business reality.
