Innovative.   Analytic.   Strategic.

Technology

Combining real-time, on-site human intelligence with technology (intelligence augmentation) offers
enhanced intelligence about your waste stream that is more reliable and actionable . Human assets together
with technology allows Blue Planet to see both inside and the area outside your trash containers, including
assessing conditions which may be causing service issues far beyond just the fullness level.
Technology alone cannot replace real-time, on-site human intelligence offer by
Blue Planet’s Field Services Team.

Put our team to work for you.

Augmentated Intelligence.

Combining Human Intelligence with Technology to affect sustainable, cost effective change.

Blue Planet uses Augmented Intelligence to achieve a better managed waste program by using technology to enhance our human capabilities rather than replacing people with technology.
Augmented Intelligence is a strategy which focuses on enhancing human capabilities by combining human intelligence with the power of technology. It’s not about replacing humans with technology, but rather about using technology to assist and amplify human intelligence, leading to more effective decision-making and learning, resulting in a better managed waste program.

Human Intelligence

Experienced. Multi-dimensional. Dynamic.

Human Intelligence

Our Field Services Team offers unbiased, reliable, completely independent observational data about our client-partner’s waste stream, from both inside and outside the bin. A snap shot of the inside of your waste bin may reveal part of the problem, however, on occasion seeing the problem from outside the bin, or at different angles, can reveal the bigger picture and the cause of any issues. Blue Planet does not rely solely on technology, we rely on both, human intelligence and technology.

Blue Planet
Field Services Team

Blue Planet has a vast network of per diem, on call, Field Service Team members across the United States. This network allows Blue Planet to deploy Human Assets to Client-Partner locations to verify service data and make observations both inside and outside the container.

Smart Waste Technology

Blue Planet can deploy its Smart Waste Technology (SWT) systems upon request, or when and where strategically necessary to track a Client-Partner’s waste stream performance. Data collected by our SWT will be uploaded via the Cloud and available through the web portal. Blue Planet will also deploy members of its Field Services Team as needed, upon request, or to verify data received from our SWT sensors.

Remember you can’t manage what you can’t measure.

Smart Waste Technology

smart sensors

As a ‘sensor intelligence augmentation’ company we source the best sensors and cameras in the world to augment our human assets (field services team) depending on the unique and specifics needs of our Client-Partners.

Whether our Client-Partners use Front or Rear Load Dumpsters, Toters, Roll-Off Containers, or Compactors, we have smart tech for each application.

smart compactors

SmartTrash provides a fully automated compactor management system. After it is installed and calibrated, SmartTrash does all the rest: determining the optimal time to empty the compactor, communicating with the waste hauler and other stakeholders, issuing POs for pickups and finally closing out the order after the pickup has been completed. Fullness monitoring (or waste monitoring) is as easy as opening up your app.
