Innovative Sustainable Products and Services

In 2022, OTE Group launched and developed new products and services and significant projects including the following:

Smart Waste Management for a major Municipality in Attica (Greece)
Smart waste management improves residents’ daily lives, while the Municipality of Vari- Voula-Vouliagmeni makes savings on valuable resources and reduces spending. The solution utilizes Narrow-Band Internet of Things img (NB-IoT img) technology that requires a small amount of data to interconnect devices over the mobile network, in order to achieve remarkable results in reduction of energy and cost consumption.

COSMOTE will install telematics devices [KV1] in300 mechanical waste collection bins operated by the Municipality, allowing its cleaning service to monitor, remotely and in real time, how full they are and their status, while also dynamically planning for their placement to match demand, through a data analysis and evaluation platform run by EmDoT. Additionally, tablets with a drivers’ navigation App img will be installed in all of the Municipality's waste disposal trucks, for targeted routing of collection vehicles based on actual collection needs.

The advantages of the solution include reduction of collection operating costs (up to 50 percent) by streamlining routes, emissions reduction, savings on fuel and human resources, prevention of overfilling, and protection from damage. This solution contributes to creating a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
