For waste-hauling fleets, Rear Load garbage trucks have historically been the “blind spot” of solid-waste collection, with no available technology to automatically gather crucial data for each service stop on rear-load collection routes. 

Rear load routes typically operate on relatively thin margins and require maximum efficiency to remain profitable. Challenges such as customer claims that garbage wasn’t picked up, illegal dumping or excessive volume at a stop, overloaded containers, and incorrect or off-book service are frequently encountered. These common examples of real-world problems can significantly impact a hauler’s bottom line and relationships with their customers.

Thankfully, these issues can now be problems of the past thanks to the expansion of 3rd Eye’s Verif-Eye^® service verification and asset management module, a groundbreaking advancement custom-tailored for Rear Load Refuse Collection Vehicles. The Verif-Eye for Rear Loaders expansion is the latest innovation within the overall Connected Collections^® digital strategy, providing haulers with an improved connection to their fleets, and improving operators’ ability to stay safely focused on their route — Connected Collections handles the rest.

An industry first, this intelligent, patent-pending customer service technology passively collects complete Service Verification information, including bag/volume counts, time spent at each stop, documented exceptions in real-time, and photos/video of the entire service, all without requiring manual action of the operator. Verif-Eye is the first solution that provides rear-load fleets with a single consolidated record of each stop, all within a simple, easy-to-understand dashboard. Everything is right at their fingertips, including optional photo or video documentation of the stop, the volume of waste collected, time taken for pickup, and all associated details of the service.

Before Verif-Eye, when a waste customer reported that their trash was not picked up, haulers often were required to send out another vehicle to service the account. Despite often being the result of blocked or missing containers, without service verification to document the event, costly extra trips were needed to maintain customer satisfaction. Verif-Eye is an excellent tool for haulers that allows them to strengthen relationships with their end-users, as they now have accurate information they can share regarding both service and the conditions surrounding missed service events. It can easily validate missed service events due to blocked or missing containers as the pictures capture the event and time stamps the information for additional validation. 

Verif-Eye is part of the much larger ESG Connected Collections comprehensive fleet data strategy that provides a rich stream of data and data-driven options that allow fleet owners to make better decisions faster.

With Mobile-Pak – your fleet operators no longer have to rely on manually generated paper route sheets and maps to navigate. Mobile-Pak – in conjunction with any in-cab Android tablet, allows operators to do what they do best – drive. Refuse collection routes may be loaded each day with the most up-to-date customer information preloaded and provide easy-to-follow turn-by-turn directions to your customers and can be amended on the fly to add new ones.  

With the Mobile-Pak dashboard, operators can view real-time fleet information to make operational decisions to reroute other assets to assist with routes that may require additional vehicles. With turn-by-turn directions and access to the latest traffic via Google Maps, any driver can complete a route efficiently. 

Soft-Pak and 3rd Eye continue to strengthen their Verif-Eye Auto-Complete integration with fully functioning auto-complete positive service verification via the Mobile-Pak tablet. Drivers now simply service their customers. No pushing buttons, no taking pictures. The tablet – combined with Soft-Pak’s industry-leading back-office system – handles the rest. Drivers focus on driving safely. That’s what they do best. Verif-Eye passively captures service events and transmits the information into the cloud – where dispatchers can download the event, time, location, and photo for validation. 

Thanks to this integration, on-route exception reporting can also now be completed without removing the Mobile-Pak tablet from the cradle. With units that feature 3^rd Eye cameras, exceptions can be viewed via the in-cab tablet. Using the Mobile-Pak app, drivers select the camera feed showing the exception, and then it’s off to the next stop. No pulling out the tablet. No exiting the vehicle. No disruptions. No excuses. Just productivity with improved safety. 

Mobile-Pak and Verif-Eye’s seamless tablet integration is part of Environmental Solutions Group’s Connected Collections Digital Strategy – that focuses on helping fleet owners make better decisions…faster.

The waste industry has made tremendous strides in sustainability initiatives. From the implementation of alternative fuel for chassis such as Compressed or Renewable Natural Gasses, and Electrification - to strategies that help reduce the number of refuse collection vehicles that fleet owners need to run their daily routes. However, most refuse bodies still rely on hydraulics that not only require extra power to operate their functions but, more importantly are susceptible to on-route hazards. 

That’s why at Heil Environmental, we felt like it was time to RevAMP the industry. The Heil RevAMP electric automated side loader is the first RCV that features independent on-board battery power, providing its own energy source, and allowing for it to be truly 100% electric while on route. The body features a highly efficient electric lift arm and auger compactor that reduces the energy required for waste collection and allows it to be efficient when paired with any type of chassis. 

In fact, when mounted on a Diesel or CNG-powered chassis, the RevAMP can save up to 4,000 gallons of fuel per year, per truck, AND also reduce each vehicle’s greenhouse gas emissions by a massive 41 metric tons per year…all just by reducing the power required from the drive unit’s engine. But when paired with an EV chassis, the self-contained battery eliminates additional drain on the chassis power system, greatly extending the range of the vehicle to collect more homes- and more importantly, creating the first true ZERO emission on route chassis and body combo. 

The RevAMP allows fleet owners to achieve their sustainability goals without sacrificing performance. The lightweight body helps to extend the range of the vehicle, and that combined with a fast, smooth, electric arm, allows more households to be serviced, as well as fewer trucks required to be on route.

And as with all Heil Refuse Collection Vehicles, the RevAMP is Connected Collections ready, allowing fleet owners to leverage our full suite of digital modules to help make better decisions…faster. 

Revolutionize your sustainability efforts. Amplify your bottom line. The Heil RevAMP eASL…the future of refuse collection…is now.
