Design and implementation of a self-service sorting yard

The Veloop Sorting Yard offers a proven and reliable solution for efficient waste sorting and recycling. We can carry out the project for you, from design to construction and post-construction maintenance. The total project timeframe is approximately 12 months.

The sorting yard is cost-effective and user-friendly

Easy-to-use service for everyone

Using the sorting yard is smooth and hassle-free. Clear signage, efficient traffic management and modern self-service solutions make sorting easy and safe. When the user experience is pleasant, sorting activity increases.

Cost-effective solution

The self-service model reduces the need for manual work and saves on staff costs. Centralised remote monitoring and automation keeps costs under control and allows the municipality to increase recycling rates without heavy additional investment.

Safety and reliability

Our control room operators ensure customer safety in real time through cameras and sensors, providing guidance and support when needed, while gathering valuable insights to improve operations. The service operates reliably without on-site staff.

Scalable for various needs

Each project starts with a needs assessment to define objectives, resources and local specificities. The mapping process gives the municipality a clear picture of the options and costs, and helps to ensure that the end result is tailored to local needs.

“Clear processes ensure that the sorting yard meets its obligations, saves costs and makes recycling easy.”

Helping you at every stage of the project

Needs assessment and specification – a strong foundation for a successful project

Every project begins with understanding the starting situation. Veloop helps the client map out goals, resources, and challenges, as well as conduct necessary assessments of logistics, operating models, information systems, and customer service processes. After this phase, the municipality or company has a clear understanding of what the project requires, what it will cost, and the benefits it will bring. This ensures that decisions are made based on accurate information and that the project has a strong foundation for success.

Sorting yard design

Veloop’s experts guide the design process from the very beginning to avoid wrong choices and costly changes in later stages. We take into account environmental permits, municipal objectives, and solutions required to increase recycling rates. We utilize modeling and visualizations that make plans tangible to support decision-making. This way, the client receives a plan that is both cost-effective and feasible.

Construction management and procurement

When moving into the implementation phase, Veloop takes responsibility for construction management and procurement. We prepare contract documents and handle requests for proposals as well as contract negotiations in accordance with procurement law. Contracts are made clearly and transparently, reducing risks and supporting cost control. During the implementation phase, we monitor the progress of the construction site on behalf of the client and ensure that the schedule and budget are adhered to. The client does not need to expand their own organization, but gains access to an experienced construction management team that oversees the project from start to finish.

Implementation and commissioning of automation

During the automation phase, Veloop integrates gates, payment terminals, cameras, and sensors into a single system that supports self-service and reduces the need for manual work. During commissioning, we ensure that the systems work seamlessly with the client’s existing information systems, avoiding redundancies and unnecessary costs. In addition, we provide guidance and training so that staff can make full use of the solutions from the start. This phase clearly demonstrates how modern automation simplifies operations and enhances efficiency.

Remote monitoring ensures safety

Once the sorting yard is operational, Veloop ensures continuous support through real-time remote monitoring. The monitoring service allows clients to be guided and assisted as needed, while safety and smooth operations are maintained in all situations. Centralized remote monitoring reduces the need for on-site staff and ensures consistent service quality across different locations. In addition, the collected data on usage rates, customer traffic, and process performance provides municipalities and companies with the tools to develop the service over the long term.
