A very real field challenge

In France, waste management on highways represents a major logistical and environmental challenge. Manual container checks lead to unnecessary trips, wasted resources, and a significant carbon footprint. Managers expressed a clear need: to automate the system and make it more reliable.

An outdated traditional system

The current model relies on fixed collection routes without real-time data. This results in superfluous journeys, frequent overflows, and inefficient mobilization of field teams. 

A connected answer designed for efficiency

DFM-Europe developed Sidonie, an IoT solution combining ultrasonic sensors with a supervision platform. Installed inside each container, the sensor measures fill levels in real time and automatically transmits the data. Managers can thus optimize their routes, receive precise alerts, and manage the entire fleet remotely.

Tangible results from the very first months

• Over 500 sensors deployed across the highway network.
• 35% reduction in collection trips.
• Measurable reduction in CO₂ emissions.
• Fewer manual interventions and greater responsiveness in the field.

A robust and easy-to-deploy tool

Sidonie is a connected ultrasonic sensor featuring geolocation functionality, a mobile application for field agents, and an intuitive web interface. It adapts to all types of bins, whether in urban or roadside environments. Available on the Darewin Store with personalized support from DFM-Europe.
