11. PragmaTech is powered by Pandora
Data collected by Pandora is always
available to customers and service
providers via web portals or APIs and
can be customized for general or specific
requirements.
12. • PragmaTech leverages the Pandora Intelligent Networks ® platform for remote
monitoring of waste equipment and maintenance needs
• Utilizes M2M wireless communications allowing individual machines
(compactors & balers) to indicate if they are working correctly and efficiently
• System sends data to the Pandora server through secure wireless infrastructure
• Data is collected and key parameters of compactors are tracked, data mined
and analyzed Diagnostics, optimal scheduling of compactor pickups
• Monitors 24/7 – sends automatic notifications/alerts to any device. (Email/SMS
or can be viewed in web portal)
• Each Service Provider has a portal that allows them
to add in the weights after each pick up
How does it work?
13. Unique Features & Capabilities
Pandora shows historical
tonnage (yellow dots are
pre-Pandora). After we
began controlling dispatch
through alerts, tonnage rose
by 67 percent and haulage
dropped by 67 percent
(Pandora weights in red).
As our solution is rule
based, we can easily and
quickly customize the
system to satisfy the
different needs of our
customers in terms of
reporting and integration
with data from other
systems.

14. Multiple Waste Streams
Compacted Waste
Recycling Waste
Hazardous Waste
Organics
Electronics
Scrap Metal
Pandora can also be used as a live waste auditing tool. Data can be collected from all
waste/recycling streams in one easy portal that can be organized to your specifications
within Pandora or exported to Excel for analysis.
The Pandora RMS is able to track all waste streams. On-site staff are then able to send
pickup requests to haulers by logging into the Pandora portal remotely or directly from the
bin by pushing a designated button on the Pandora RMS. Pickup requests are then sent
directly to the hauler, processing facility or service provider with a unique PO/Ref number
for traceability.
