Intelligent Route Optimization

Route efficiency

Built to handle real-life challenges in the waste industry, AMCS Intelligent Route Optimization delivers impressive efficiency gains, typically reducing costs by 10 to 15%.

Based on metaheuristics, our optimization algorithms balance a reduction in miles, time and cost with route quality preferences and pre-agreed customer service agreements to determine the best routes.

Ensuring customers across the waste industry can increase revenues and achieve efficiency gains similar to:

• AES in Ireland: Increased lifts per route hour by 15%
• SUEZ in Benelux: Increased lifts per route hour by 5% to 10%
• Twente Milieu in the Netherlands: Increased lifts per route hour by 20 to 25%
