Learn how Chester County Solid Waste Authority’s Lanchester Landfill in Pennsylvania uses technology to improve its operations. The site engineer and the implementation team will discuss how drones and a landfill remote monitoring and control system (RMC/SCADA) have helped reduce operational costs and health and safety risks, as well as improve environmental compliance and quality of life.

Through an engaging back-and-forth discussion between the two presenters, attendees will learn about how the remote monitoring and control system checks leachate flows, levels, pump statuses, and alarms at 13 locations across the site. Learn how the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and cloud-based SCADA technologies make this possible and how drones and other GPS-based technologies are used at the site to improve data collection quality and speed and inform new designs at the landfill. The presentation concludes with thoughts on future technology applications for landfills, such as advanced drones, satellites, AI, robot dogs, advanced sensors, and methane-monitoring technologies.
