The amount of waste discharged is increasing every year, while very little is recovered for raw materials. This means that precious resources are wasted every day, because collecting waste is generally labor-intensive work, which wastes not only raw materials but also manpower. Therefore, people are trying new recycling options, such as a new efficient system that uses networked waste containers and modern technology from Germany.

South Korea has been looking for efficient waste treatment measures. South Korea uses smart containers in rural pilot projects across the country, but in different sizes: The core of the pilot concept is a smart compression container with a storage capacity of 10m³. These devices are designed as collection containers: residents bring their waste to designated collection points. When the waste is placed, the integrated weighing system weighs the waste and the user pays the fee directly at the payment terminal. This billing data is transmitted to the central server together with data on fill level, diagnostics and maintenance. This data can be visualized in the control center.

These containers are equipped with odor reduction and pest protection functions. Integrated level measurement accurately indicates the optimal collection time.

Since waste transport is demand-driven and centralized, networked containers form the basis for increased efficiency.
Each container has an integrated technology module that accommodates all required equipment in a very compact space: GPS, network, process controller, ozone generator for odor protection, etc.

In modern waste container control cabinets in South Korea, Pro 2 power supplies provide reliable power supply.
The compact Pro 2 power supply can supply all components while saving space.
The power boost function ensures that there is always enough capacity reserve.
The power supply can be continuously monitored via remote access

The PFC200 controller can also be supplemented with digital input and output modules for controlling medium-voltage switchgear. For example, motor drives for load switches and their feedback signals. In order to make the low-voltage network at the transformer output of the substation transparent, the measurement technology required for the transformer and the low-voltage output can be easily retrofitted by connecting 3- or 4-wire measurement modules to WAGO's small remote control system.

Starting from specific problems, WAGO continuously develops forward-looking solutions for many different industries. Together, WAGO will find the right system solution for your digital substation.
