Remote monitoring and control of process equipment at landfill facilities
WM landfills include an ecosystem of air, water and gas, and we're responsible to our communities and shareholders for keeping these ecosystems healthy, safe and sustainable.
CONNECTED LANDFILL℠ services automate landfill processes and track site conditions in real time through internet-connected sensors. Remote monitoring lets users observe and adjust operations from a mobile device, increasing efficiency and keeping landfills working safely, sustainably and efficiently.

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.
Manage equipment and operations remotely with detailed diagnostics for real-time adjustments, troubleshooting and optimization.
Use customizable Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) software to connect sensors with equipment for automated data.
Display real-time data streams from facility equipment, enabling quick analysis and decision-making.
Set up custom alerts for abnormal conditions, malfunctions or maintenance needs.
Store and analyze historical data to identify trends, patterns and areas for enhancement.
Implement user authentication and encryption protocols to help ensure data security.
CONNECTED LANDFILL℠ services can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, allowing operators, managers and stakeholders to monitor and control processes even when they're off-site or traveling. This also enables hardware platform independence by simplifying accessibility from various devices, including computers, tablets and smartphones — regardless of the operating system. This flexibility eliminates the need for specialized software on every device.
