Minicomputer  OMEGA ITS
An OMEGA system has many advantages:
  • simple and reliable installation, which does not alter the features of the vehicle
  • ease of restoring the initial conditions of the vehicle;
  • possibility to disassemble and install it on another vehicle
  • < >namic weighing with homologated loading cells, applied to the container lifting mechanism weighing of all types of bins
  • automatic tare determination of the containers during the positioning phase
  • weighing, identifying and storing data during the emptying cycle
  • possibility to read transponders on different frequencies (125kHz - 134 kHz - UHF)
  • independent antennas for simultaneous reading of multiple transponder codes
  • self-diagnosis and system alerts
  • data transmission via gsm / gprs / radio and system back up.
 
Identification, weighing and data transmission
Omega ITS is an on-board computer with touchscreen, approved by the Ministry of Productive Activities in Italy and in compliance with the Eu laws regarding the CE marking. It allows the management of the identification and weighing of waste bins as well as their location, the management of the waste truck itinerary, the registration and transmission of data for operating parameters and service with compact flash via GSM / GPRS ( through fixed ftp connections). OMEGA comes with a 1 GB mass memory.
 
Waste bin identification
The RF-id unit reads the transponder on the container and registers the data of the emptying operation in definite and ambiguous way.
The antennas, situated on the container lifting mechanism, are made of bump resistant material and protected by a metal shell, have a range of 200 mm with automatic calibration and operate in series on 4 independent channels to allow simultaneous identification of multiple bins, in order to reduce the time and the emptying cycles. The transponders installed with the OMEGA system have an operating frequency of 125 KHz, a wavelength authorized by the Communications Ministry.
 
Weighing

Omega can be integrated with an homologated electronic weighing system. Weighing is carried out with load cells and can be done in static or dynamic mode, depending on the applications and work requirements.


Dynamic weighing does not create slowdowns or limitations to the drain cycle of the bins and is able to detect the data in any condition of use and with any type of "lift", automatically determining the tare in the positioning stage.
The weighing is associated with the container transponder code along with other collection information (vehicle code, date, time, progressive, position coordinates) stored in a progressive record both on internal memory and on compact flash back up and transmitted via radio , wi-fi or gsm / gprs to the receiving base station (CodexRSU or any other data platform).
The weighing with back side or lateral side trailer hydraulic tipping is an example of dynamic weighing.

 
Static weighing is made through load cells placed on the chassis of the vehicle (sub-box) and is useful for measuring large masses, not allowing adequate precision for small quantities. The device, suitably dimensioned according to the maximum load, returns certified minimum weights in Class III and Class IV.

Examples of static weighing:
  • Weighing for dumpster truck
  • Weighing under the cargo
  • Weighing for tanks
  • Weighing for silos
     
LOCALIZZAZIONE E TRACCIABILITÀ

OMEGA è compatibile con i più diffusi sistemi di Geographic Information, integrando i dati identificativi e di pesatura dei cassonetti con il tracking satellitare relativo al posizionamento delle piazzole, allo studio dei percorsi di raccolta e di spezzamento, alla localizzazione dei mezzi.
​
ACCESSORI E STRUMENTAZIONI PORTATILI

​I computer OMEGA possono essere accessoriati in qualsiasi momento con strumentazioni aggiuntive.

Stampante di bordo
La stampante si interfaccia con il quadro di controllo mediante una scheda seriale e genera "strisciate" relative a singole pesate e totali di riepilogo.

Terminale portatile
​Consente la rilevazione dei codici transponder di cassonetti o campane fuori standard, funge da interfaccia mobile di scorta sui mezzi o da terminale da impiegare nelle più diverse situazioni
 - verificare dati dell'utente presso un ecocentro (oltre all'anagrafica ad esempio anche lo "storico tributi")
 - gestire tipologie di rifiuto e dotazioni utenti
 - archiviare informazioni sullo stato di servizio
 - inviare o ricevere messaggi
 - ricevere o inviare informazioni al database Codex RSU

​Tali applicazioni sono attive indipendentemente dal sistema installato a bordo dei mezzi ed essere dotate di "SafeBox".
