- What is Twin Control?
Twin Control is a decision intelligence platform for waste container management and logistics. It combines IoT data, operational information and business data to provide a clear view of containers, equipment and other assets located across different areas.
The platform helps companies manage daily operations, identify critical situations and plan activities. It turns collected data into clear information that operators and managers can use. - Which companies is Twin Control designed for?
Twin Control is mainly designed for environmental service companies, waste collection operators, waste container fleet managers and organisations that manage large numbers of distributed assets.
It can also be used in other industrial sectors where companies need IoT asset management, equipment location, operational status control and coordination of field activities. - Which problems does Twin Control solve in waste container management?
Waste container management can be difficult when information is stored in different systems, controls are manual, data is not updated and communication between office staff and field operators is limited.
Twin Control centralises information and can help identify:
• containers that must be collected or replaced;
• equipment that is not available or cannot be located;
• operational anomalies;
• delayed activities;
• maintenance needs;
• inefficient use of the fleet;
• situations that require an operator check.
The goal is to improve waste container fleet management and reduce unnecessary manual work. - Is Twin Control a GPS tracking system?
Twin Control is more than a GPS tracking solution for containers and equipment.
Location data can be combined with telemetry, images, operational events, asset information, service orders and operator reports. The platform organises these data in one environment and provides a more complete view of each asset.
It does not only show a position on a map. It also supports operational control and better decisions. - What is the difference between Twin Control and a traditional IoT platform?
A traditional IoT platform mainly collects and displays data from connected devices.
Twin Control uses these data within real business processes. Sensor information can be connected to containers, customers, locations, activities, alerts and operational responsibilities.
The platform combines Industrial IoT, asset management and decision intelligence. It helps the organisation understand what is happening and which situations require attention. - Can Twin Control improve waste collection and logistics?
Yes. Twin Control can support the digital transformation of waste logistics by providing more reliable information about the condition and location of containers.
Better operational visibility can improve the planning of collections, deliveries, replacements and inspections. It can also reduce unnecessary journeys, waiting times, manual checks and activities performed without enough information.
The final use of the platform depends on the company’s processes, devices and existing information systems. - Can Twin Control integrate with existing business software?
Yes. Twin Control is designed to integrate step by step with business applications, IoT devices and systems already used by the organisation.
Depending on the project, the platform can connect with management systems, operational applications, planning tools, tracking devices and other data sources.
The objective is not always to replace the customer’s complete software environment. Twin Control can create a shared information base for the smart management of containers and assets. - Can the platform be configured for our processes?
Yes. Twin Control can be configured according to the organisation’s roles, asset records, operational statuses and procedures.
Configurable elements can include:
• container and equipment types;
• operational lifecycle statuses;
• attention and alert levels;
• notification rules;
• user roles and permissions;
• alert management procedures;
• inspection and intervention workflows.
This flexibility allows companies to use a waste container management solution that reflects their real operational processes. - How does Twin Control manage security, access and traceability?
Twin Control is designed to protect data, separate information belonging to different organisations and control access according to user roles.
Relevant activities can be recorded so that the organisation can review actions performed by users and connected systems. This traceability supports internal controls, responsibility management, audits and continuous process improvement.
The specific security measures depend on the customer’s technical environment, contractual requirements and organisational needs. - What benefits can Twin Control provide?
The benefits depend on the size of the fleet, the quality of available data and the organisation of business processes.
Twin Control can help companies:
• improve visibility across the container fleet;
• reduce manual controls and activities;
• limit unnecessary journeys;
• identify anomalies and delays more quickly;
• improve coordination between office staff and field operators;
• increase equipment availability;
• support preventive maintenance;
• make operational activities easier to measure.
The objective is to help companies move from reactive management to data-driven management of containers and equipment. - How does a Twin Control project start?
A Twin Control project starts with an analysis of the managed assets, operational processes, available devices and business systems that may need to be connected.
The company and the project team then define an initial scope with measurable objectives, responsibilities, data sources, configurations and performance indicators.
The platform can be introduced gradually. A company can start with one fleet, one site or one operational process, and later extend the system to other activities, asset categories or geographical areas.
