BigBelly Solar saves time and fuel with Digi wireless waste monitoring

BigBelly Solar, a company focused on transforming waste collection, needed to gain visibility into its network of smart waste and recycling stations to eliminate inefficient collection routes and costly unnecessary truck dispatches. To embed reliable wireless connectivity into its solar-powered compactors, BigBelly turned to Digi International for custom embedded cellular radios and wireless design and development services.

Digi International's solution enabled BigBelly to integrate cellular connectivity, allowing remote, real-time monitoring of station fullness from any computer or smartphone. This provided BigBelly's customers with operational cost savings through optimized collection schedules, reduced fuel use, and eliminated unnecessary truck rolls, while also improving public health by preventing overflow.
