Orlaco Vision akıllı yeraltı çöp istasyonu inşa etmektedir

Hollanda merkezli Orlaco Vision, evsel atıkların yeraltında depolanması için tam elektronik kontrollü bir istasyon geliştirmiştir ve bu istasyon Vlissingen bölgesindeki ilk on line sistemdir. Bu sistem, evsel atıkların uzaklaştırılmasında temiz, verimli, dürüst (kirleten öder) ve kullanımı kolay bir çözüm sağlamaktadır.

Reality The idea of the underground storage of refuse is not a new one and even before World War II numerous big cities used systems based on a similar concept. But only recently has the idea become a reality in the Netherlands, with around ten suppliers of underground refuse containers active within the country. "There are some disadvantages attached to the basic concept," admits Henrie van Beusekom, managing director of Orlaco Vision. "The existing systems are easily accessible which can lead to a fast build-up of refuse and if the refuse container is full, people tend to deposit their refuse next to it. This causes street litter and hygiene problems. What's more, there is no way of telling who deposits what, which is in direct conflict with the principle 'the polluter pays'.

Electronic solution Orlaco Vision, was asked by the sanitation departments of a number of Dutch rural districts for an alternative to existing underground collecting stations. "Basically, there were three considerations," van Beusekom says. "Access control, level measurement and a registration function. And these factors could only be successfully addressed electronically. Orlaco Vision developed a console for electronic user identification, weighing andregistration of the refuse and measurement of the refuse level. The console monitors two throw-in shafts, one for vegetable, fruit and garden refuse and another for 'dry' refuse. The whole process is controlled from a central pillar that contains all the necessary technology required to operate and monitor the system.

Omron's total solution At the heart of the system are Omron's pillar electronics. Key parts are the CQM1 PLC's controlling moving parts, the SGR cardreaders and the appliance for the electronic weighing of the bin bags. Van Beusekom commented "We chose Omron because they are able to offer us a total solution, including the required power supplies, sensors and relays and, because it is a development project, we wanted one point of contact and a short communications line. Co-operative partners in the project were engineers Hiddinga Heijckmann of Arnhem. They developed the software for the system with the help of SYSWIN, Omron's software package for PLC's.
