Rezzi Went From Prototype to Deployment in Just 3 Months With Blues Wireless
Rezzi’s SmartCan is an IoT waste bin that is delivering mass generation data to the waste collection industry. They’re partnering with communities and waste haulers to improve understanding of waste generated and collected in order to reduce the increasing waste generation problem in the nation.
SOLUTION
Rezzi’s SmartCan is an IoT device that captures data inside of residential waste bins, including mass of waste, pickup GPS location, and voltage. The data allows for municipalities and waste haulers alike to create and better monitor programs they implement to reduce and divert waste in their communities.
Utilizing Rezzi’s team of engineers and the Blues Notecarrier and Notecard, they went from prototype to deployment in 3 months. At the time, Rezzi lacked the resources to build their own end-to-end solution on top of other engineering challenges they had to solve, so Blues’ ease of integration into their platform allowed Rezzi to incorporate connectivity into their device seamlessly.
When considering solutions, cost, battery life, and security were the biggest factors for Rezzi.
RESULTS
Rezzi’s hauling customers can supply more accurate weight reports and add value to the service they provide to their customers. Especially when dealing with organics, weight can vary greatly by volume. Some hauling customers are seeing an increasing demand for exact weight of organic material composted, and they can finally provide a solution.
Like my Italian Grandfather always said: "There's money in garbage". Very cool.
