This presentation explores how modern landfill operations can transition from reactive, manual monitoring methods to proactive, insight-driven systems. Drawing from real-world examples, case studies, and field-tested tools, it introduces attendees to IETLink — a remote data acquisition platform designed specifically for the solid waste industry by professionals who understand its unique challenges.

Landfill operators face numerous pressures including tighter budgets, leaner teams, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and higher expectations. This session reframes traditional pain points — such as leachate overflows, flare uptime uncertainty, and the inefficiencies of manual data collection — as opportunities for control, cost avoidance, and operational clarity. Learn how insight into critical systems like leachate, gas collection, stormwater, and slope stability can empower better decision-making and prevent small issues from escalating into costly failures.

The presentation walks through implementation, cost justification, and common objections, ending with a clear roadmap for scalable adoption.  Gain practical takeaways for operators, engineers, and managers alike — whether you're already exploring tech solutions or just beginning the conversation.
