What Harmony Enterprises was trying to fix

Organizations needed a scalable, attractive indoor waste handling solution that would make waste management more efficient, reduce pilferage, improve safety, and lower hauling costs. Existing open waste containers created safety risks and significant operational costs.

What Harmony Enterprises deployed

Allen-Bradley Micro820 PLC, push buttons, contactors, and relays were integrated into Harmony Enterprises' hi-tech indoor waste compactor to enable automated intelligent compaction with 4:1 compaction ratio and 21-second cycle time.

Results

Waste handling costs decreased by up to 70%. Employee pilferage from open containers was reduced and property appearance was enhanced. The 4:1 compaction ratio significantly reduced hauling frequency.

Key Takeaways

  • Harmony Enterprises' PLC-enabled compactor cut waste handling costs by up to 70% through improved compaction ratios and reduced hauling frequency
  • An indoor compactor addresses cost, safety, and property appearance together
  • Micro PLC platforms enable cost-effective intelligent control for commercial waste management equipment
