A comprehensive coverage of all business processes in metal recycling. The AMCS Metal Recycling Software provides exactly that. That is clear from the presentation of Christian Pollklesener, Head of Professional Services, AMCS Germany, during the eREC 2020 virtual tradeshow. In this webinar, he explains what this means in detail and how this can be a great asset for metal recycling companies.

A medida que nuestra forma de vivir y trabajar cambia, la industria de los materiales de la construcción debe adaptarse. Concretamente, las empresas necesitan reevaluar sus modelos de negocio. Parte de cualquier modelo empresarial se centra en dónde y cómo se genera valor dentro de la organización. En la situación actual, los modelos de negocio deben centrarse en generar valor a través del rendimiento operativo. Para lograrlo, la transformación digital es vital.

Dado que el COVID-19 ha trastocado las cadenas de suministro, la industria de la construcción necesita fiabilidad en la entrega de materiales de construcción. Los materiales de construcción son una industria donde siempre se ha operado con márgenes estrechos. Proteger esos márgenes es esencial, por lo que reducir gastos operativos es una prioridad en las circunstancias actuales. La pregunta es la siguiente: ¿cómo proporcionar un servicio fiable, a la vez que se recortan gastos? Se trata de mejorar los niveles de servicio al cliente, a la vez que se gasta menos.

Digital transformation integrates digital technologies, creating a new eco-system where your processes work together to create real value. This isn’t simply about technology, however. It’s a cultural change too. It’s embracing empowerment through digitalisation.

What are the chances your decisions, based on that information, will maximise profitability? Basing decisions on outdated information will mean you either over-react or under-react. To get it right, you need real-time data and analytics to tell you what it means. This is business intelligence. AMCS Platform supports solutions that handle your end-to-end operations. One critical solution is AMCS Analytics, which drives insight into your business, enabling you to make smarter decisions.

An off-the-shelf solution will serve you better, though not all are created equal. You want a platform that adheres to best practice. This is AMCS Platform, designed specifically for the C&I and C&D waste industries. AMCS Platform is Microsoft Azure-based SaaS, so there’s no upfront capital investment.

As the world moves forward after unprecedented times, stability and continuity are more important than ever to small- and medium-sized businesses. This is especially true in the Commercial & Industrial waste industry, a sector where constant change is the nature of the business. One problem that many SMBs suffer even during the best of times is inefficiencies in outdated ways of working. Specifically, they use on-premise software, which holds them back. Adopting digitalisation on the cloud must absolutely become a priority. This will help SMBs gain significant efficiencies that reduce operating costs while making them agile and more competitive.

The global economic crisis of 2020 demands strategic responses. If your initial reaction is to cut costs, cut wisely. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the last thing you want to do is cut anything that can damage your customer relationships – and those relationships are especially important right now. In fact, the stronger your customer relationships, the more resilient your company will be to changing market conditions.

Up to 2050, the world’s urban population is expected to double, according to the European Commission. As a result, globally the sheer volume of waste produced is estimated to double over the next ten years.

Commercial & Industrial waste management companies can no longer afford manual processes. The world has become too unpredictable, which means companies need to be agile enough to change direction in a moment’s notice.

The biggest challenges facing the waste management industry are ineffective collections, irregular waste pickups and the efficient sorting of waste

The AMCS Group has announced a series of appealing presentations to be held by international industry experts during the eREC, the Digital Recycling Expo and Conference for Circular Economy and Waste Management. AMCS is one of the leading companies in its field to exhibit at this virtual trade show which takes place from August 31 until September 4.

Intelligent optimisation provides municipalities with the possibility to centralise their planning enabling planners to freely deploy drivers and vehicles on routes. With this, the smart system reduces the number of vehicles in the streets which lowers the environmental impact. At the same time, it reduces driver churn and can highly improve customer satisfaction."

End-to-end solutions enable waste collectors to combine any kind of planning in one IT system. With as result, routes are driven more efficiently which significantly decreases planning time and at the same time improves customer service.

Due to the algorithm developed by AMCS, Germany’s second-largest recycling company can meet the increasingly complex planning demands for the operation with over 2.000 vehicles everyday servicing around 200.000 customer contact points.

Mitigating operational, financial, health and safety risk. Through the real-time exchange of data with the centralised enterprise management system, the in-cab device of AMCS Mobile Workforce delivers waste and recycling companies exactly that.

A key principle of recycling is that you get out what you put in. Quality in, quality out is a mantra we often hear from reprocessors. It’s a challenge for a paper or card-recycling mill to make it happen. Figures vary from country to country, but typically 70-75 per cent of paper and card is recycled in European countries and around 65 per cent in the United States. As the various grades of paper-based products make their way on the recycling journey, these are often mixed with other materials. This is true even where there are specialised containers for collecting paper and cardboard.

Completely automating all operational and administrative processes; all the way from the back end of the truck to billing customers based on paid by service using RFID technology for weighing. AMCS Platform enables AES, the Irish leading provider of waste management and services, to streamline the entire operation.

La industria de productos forestales y papel crece y se transforma constantemente, a medida que los tipos de productos solicitados a nivel mundial evolucionan. Con la progresión hacia una economía circular, la industria tiene que invertir más en reciclaje. Hoy día, esto se traduce en aplicar tecnología de vanguardia durante un proceso complejo.

Incluso antes de que se declarase la crisis de la Covid-19, la industria de reciclaje y recuperación de residuos se enfrentaba a diversos desafíos, como unos precios del petróleo bajos que a su vez condicionan los precios del material reciclado o los controles férreos sobre los plásticos recuperados en mercados internacionales, como Asia. Además de esto, debido a la crisis de la Covid-19, para las empresas que reciclan papel y plástico las condiciones del mercado han cambiado radicalmente. Estas tienen que lidiar con un descenso pronunciado en el suministro de materiales reciclables, como el papel, el cartón o los plásticos por parte de fuentes industriales y manufactureras. Asimismo, debido a la congelación casi total de la producción en algunas industrias, existe también una caída en la demanda de material procesado.

The turmoil caused by COVID-19 and subsequent restrictions have caused waste and recycling business models to change instantly. "Technology can provide assistance, but companies really need to review the entire process."

To collect commercial and household waste considerably more efficiently. This is one of the positive outcomes of continuously optimising master routes. As a result, organisations save costs and can deploy fewer vehicles for the same routes.

¿Es posible recortar el personal en el departamento de planificación, de 50 a 10 planificadores? “Sí, es la respuesta a esta pregunta, efectivamente es posible si se centraliza la planificación usando nuevas herramientas como la optimización inteligente”, según afirma Gerard Kissane, afincado en Madrid, que cuenta con más de 10 años de experiencia en la industria de residuos.

The collection and transport of waste are one of the most challenging with a lot of different types of waste and planning each of them having its own demands.

El Grupo AMCS participará en la exposición virtual eREC que tendrá lugar del 28 de agosto al 4 de septiembre. eREC es la Exposición y Conferencia de Reciclaje Digital para la Economía Circular y la Gestión de Residuos que ofrece a la industria de residuos y reciclaje un programa completo.

What we found: there are five elements that are critical to digital success.

The ability to be more agile while improving the digital engagement of customers are two of the major changes for the waste and recycling industry caused by the current Covid-19 crisis. This is evident from a comment from Jimmy Martin, CEO and co-founder of the AMCS Group in a podcast hosted by Waste360.

AMCS announces the release of the ground-breaking AMCS Platform 8.3, providing the waste and recycling industry with enormous added value.

Insight to the state of the global waste and recycling management industry: challenges, trends and strategies at work.

Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) represents the highest single activity for producing waste in the EU. Many of the materials we generate as part of CDW have high resource value, such as metals, glass, wood and concrete. Yet, too much of these materials are going to waste. Clearly, this is not sustainable.

In the waste and recycling industry, whoever is generating the waste tends to be analyzed first and given that millennials are the largest group currently contributing to the waste stream.

Waste businesses are risking their existence by adopting ICT too little and too late compared to other industry players. Unlike other industries, the majority of funds in the waste sector are still spent on the procurement of trucks, containers or installations. Business as usual, but not game changing and a lacking in the strategy demonstrated in other sectors.
