compactor telemetry — live now

Compactor Telemetry

Real-time cloud monitoring for static and portable compactors — live fill levels, pressure trends, cycle counts and predictive collection scheduling in one platform.

The Challenge

Why compactor telemetry matters

Blind collections

Without telemetry, compactors are collected on a fixed schedule — often before they are full, wasting transport and fuel.

No fault visibility

Pressure spikes and faults go unnoticed until the machine stops, causing downtime and costly emergency callouts.

Unpredictable payloads

Material changes affect compaction density, making it hard to predict actual payload weights.

No data feedback

Collection outcomes are rarely fed back to improve future scheduling and route planning.

The Solution

What you get

Live Fill Level

Real-time fill percentage from PLC signals and pressure analysis — know exactly how full each compactor is.

Pressure Trends

Track hydraulic pressure per cycle and spot anomalies before they become failures.

Predictive Collections

Confidence-scored recommended collection dates that learn from real collection weights over time.

Fault Alerts

Instant alerts for faults, offline machines and 3/4 full / full signals.

Benefits

Why it matters

✓

Reduce unnecessary collections and transport costs

✓

Improve payload weights per collection

✓

Avoid compactor downtime with early fault detection

✓

Support sustainability and ESG reporting with real data

How it works

From connect to collect

1

Connect

Retrofit sensors and a gateway link your compactor PLC to the cloud — works with all brands.

2

Monitor

Live telemetry streams fill level, pressure, cycles and status to your dashboard.

3

Predict

Our engine learns your machine behaviour and recommends the optimal collection date.

4

Collect

Book collections only when needed, capture real weights, and feed data back to improve predictions.

FAQ

compactor telemetry questions

Does compactor telemetry work with all brands?+
Yes. Cloud4Waste uses retrofit sensors and gateways that connect compactors from any manufacturer to the cloud.
How does predictive collection work?+
We combine fill signals, pressure trends, cycle counts and historical collection weights to forecast when a compactor will reach target weight, with a confidence score.
Do I need to change my compactor PLC?+
No. Cloud4Waste reads existing PLC data safely without modifying customer control logic.
