Montgomery Industrial Plant Cuts Pickups by Over 50% and Detects Hidden Equipment Failure with DSQ Pioneer

An industrial plant in Montgomery, Alabama, was locked into a biweekly pickup schedule. Each haul averaged only four tons, meaning the property paid for ineffective pickups. This led to low efficiency and high waste management costs.

The DSQ Pioneer Smart Upgrade

After installing the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor, the property’s waste operation transformed. The compactor monitor quickly adapted to the site’s waste patterns and switched the property from a rigid twice-per-month pickup model to approximately once a month.

The Immediate Results

Haul Reduction

DSQ Pioneer’s predictive model reduced pickups by 53.6%.

Net Savings

Eliminating scheduled hauls will allow the plant to save 50% on hauling costs.

Average Pickup Weight

DSQ Pioneer compactor monitor increased tons per haul by 51.2%.

Built to Be Smart, and It Shows

Not long after installation, the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor flagged an unusual event: the compactor had been running nonstop for 24 hours.

We weren’t surprised, DSQ Pioneer is built to detect not just fullness levels, but also anomalies. This alert prompted our team to reach out to the property to ask: "Is your compactor functioning properly?"

The response confirmed the alert's accuracy: the compactor had malfunctioned and was stuck running. Without the monitor, this issue might have gone unnoticed for days, wasting energy and risking further equipment damage.
