Remote Diagnostics for Improved Road Safety
The REMONDIS Group is one of the world's largest private service companies in the recycling and water management business. REMONDIS provides comprehensive services for the industry and local authorities in the field of raw materials recycling and moves around 30 million tonnes of recyclable materials every year. The company is responsible for the entire logistics - from collection to transport to further handling.
To handle these diverse tasks, thousands of vehicles are in operation every day at around 800 locations worldwide. In order to create additional added value with the vehicles, REMONDIS wanted to link the road and environmental data, such as defects in traffic signs, which is automatically recorded by cameras, with a map basis and make it available to the local authorities as a service for sign maintenance. The solution, called DataFleet, was developed together with Telekom MMS, which uses the Microsoft Azure Cloud for this purpose and provides a dashboard for an overview of all the data.
