WM's CONNECTED LANDFILL systems use Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) to monitor and control process equipment at landfills. Here's a closer look at the how SCADA optimizes processes and minimizes operational disruptions.
CONNECTED LANDFILL Services
We're connecting people, data and facilities to simplify and optimize the management of WM landfills.
Better Monitoring & Connectivity
Remote monitoring and control of process equipment at landfill facilities
WM landfills include an ecosystem of air, water and gas. We're responsible to our communities and shareholders to help keep these ecosystems healthy, safe and sustainable.
CONNECTED LANDFILL services can automate landfill processes and track the condition of landfills in real time using a system of internet-connected sensors. This allows us to be nimble and collaborative across our enterprise of experts.
Remote monitoring solutions simplify the fundamentals of landfill management by allowing users to observe and adjust operations from a mobile device. Automated data collection and control of connected equipment increase efficiency and help remote users keep landfills working safely, sustainably and efficiently.
