Challenge
A major landfill organization faced significant traffic congestion at its facilities, causing delays in vehicle throughput and impacting overall operations. The lack of quantifiable data on the scope and scale of the issue made it difficult to find and implement effective solutions.
Solution
To address these challenges, Lexmark's Optra Edge technology integrated with existing cameras at landfill sites, capturing high-resolution video of vehicle movements. Using AI, Optra Edge generated precise metrics such as:
- Vehicle throughput
- Waiting times
- Check-in durations
This data was sent to a central portal for real-time analysis, providing insights into site operations.
Result
Within 90 days, Optra Edge significantly improved:
Turnaround times and queues, reducing vehicle waiting times and improving traffic flow.
Throughput and site productivity, allowing the site to handle more vehicles throughout the day.
Facility layout, peak capacity management and check-in processes, optimizing space utilization.
Central operational visibility, enabling continuous process improvements and scalability across multiple facilities.
Lexmark Optra IoT Solution not only improved site performance but also increased the organization's ROI by leveraging existing infrastructure and minimizing upfront capital investment.
