System and method for collecting and processing glass

Disclosed is a method of virtualizing access queues to machines for glass collection distributed throughout a territory. The distinction of management of requests for unloading full containers is based on the configuration of: the machine; the central server, remotely controlling queue management; the plant using glass coming from the collection to process it; and a fleet of trucks executing collection, following a path suggested by the data bank residing on the central server. In the method, the control center monitors availability of crushed glass at the machines, and demands for glass of a particular type by each production plant. If an emptying request arrives from a machine where one or more glass containment cells is filled, the control center reprocesses the updated paths for the fleet of trucks or transport vehicles and for unloading from the machine to the truck based on the contingent requests from each production plant.

SCALE AND MONITORING SYSTEM FOR RUBBER RECYCLING PROCESSES AND OTHER USES WHICH MAY BE USED TO OPTIMIZE COLLECTION, FREIGHT AND DOWNSTREAM RECYCLING PROCESSES
20190204137 · 2019-07-04 · ·

Provided is a scaling and monitoring system for remotely weighing, monitoring, and measuring volumes of rubber buffings (also referred to in text as shavings or dust) produced by commercial tire retreading plants and other materials. The method utilizes a custom scale system installed underneath a shipping container or a semi van trailer, container, or other collection and storage unit or area. The custom scale system feeds weight data to a PLC and VPN/gateway-based control panel which processes and relays information to the Internet, thus allowing all accessible and recorded data to be remotely collected and viewed for the purpose of optimizing rubber dust collection and processing and minimizing overhead costs associated with such processes.
