It provides operations teams with real-time visibility into waste and recycling equipment performance, including container fullness, equipment status, and operating conditions requiring attention. With access to this information, teams can schedule pickups based on actual demand, identify performance issues earlier, and make faster, more informed service and maintenance decisions.
Reduction in hauling costs
Reduction in service hours
Units installed across Canada and the United States
iSMART™ is installed either at the factory or as an external retrofit module and begins transmitting data immediately. Equipment status, fullness levels, and cycle counts are available through the iSMART™ Hub on desktop and mobile devices.
Schedule pickups based on actual container utilization, not fixed intervals.
Identify developing equipment issues before they become service interruptions.
iSMART Technology™ supports two-way communication between the equipment and the iSMART™ Hub. In addition to monitoring, the platform enables remote diagnostics, remote setting adjustments, and real-time asset behavior monitoring, which can reduce the need for on-site visits to investigate issues.
Compactors (stationary and self-contained)
Vertical Compactors
Pre-Crushers
Vertical Balers
Chutes
Factory-integrated directly into the equipment control panel.
Self-contained external module mounted to existing equipment.
Results shown are based on actual customer operating data collected from monitored equipment installations across Canada and the United States. Results vary by portfolio size, equipment type, usage patterns, and operational conditions.

Unlike other monitoring solutions, iSMART Technology™ includes a dedicated account coordination team that actively manages the entire program, not just the technology.
A dedicated account coordinator manages the full implementation process from site confirmation and installation through activation and go-live.
The team covers monitoring, diagnostics, and service coordination to support consistent equipment performance and service continuity across all locations.
Account coordinators verify issues and contact the site directly before escalating. Many issues are resolved without a technician visit.
Data is reviewed and validated by the account coordination team. The team checks all compactor and chute data for anomalies and flags issues that need follow-up.
Account coordinators review monitoring data on a regular basis and flag anomalies that may need follow-up.
Holiday and peak-period forecasting is included to support operational planning.
Platform training is provided for all dashboard users during onboarding.
Potential issues are identified and communicated when abnormal operating patterns are detected.
Customers work with a consistent support team from installation through ongoing program management.
Connectivity and sensor performance are verified before handoff.
Approximately 80% of monitor repairs are completed within 15 days across Canada and the United States.
Most programs are fully operational within 12 weeks.
Ongoing support begins immediately after go-live with no gap in coverage.
Monthly weight uploads are provided, quarterly site reviews are conducted, and custom reporting is available on request.
Installation is handled by a certified technician; no changes to existing network infrastructure are required.
