Access control systems, RFID readers, sensors, and asset trackers to optimise waste management
Milan, 21 April 2026 – A unique and manageable IoT ecosystem, developed to identify, monitor, and optimise every stage of waste collection. From 4 to 7 May, Innovation4Waste will be in Munich for IFAT 2026 — Hall A5, Booth 104 — the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies, held at the Messe München exhibition centre.
Technological innovation in waste management is one of the pivotal themes of the 2026 edition. In an international landscape shaped by the climate crisis and supply chain vulnerabilities, it acts as a strategic lever to ensure higher-performance processes and a tangible reduction in emissions.
In response to these global challenges, Partitalia’s new brand will present its exclusive IoT ecosystem, comprising access control systems, RFID readers, fill-level sensors, and asset trackers, all integrated into the Cloud. By ensuring total traceability and continuous control of platforms and devices, this infrastructure allows for the digitalisation of the waste collection process, providing the necessary tools to make data-driven decisions and optimise operational efficiency.
“To support the transition towards more sustainable waste management, the starting point is the accurate tracking of waste,” explains Marco Bavastrelli, Export Sales Manager at Innovation4Waste. “The goal of our IoT solutions is to digitalise the waste collection process, providing greater visibility and operational control without disrupting existing workflows.”
A key highlight at IFAT 2026 will be ID-Access, the smart access control system designed to monitor and manage waste disposal, suitable for street bins, and recycling centres. This ultra-resistant, low-energy smart lock restricts access exclusively to authorised users, providing an accessible and secure experience through various certified identification methods: RFID/NFC badges, barcodes, QR codes, Web Apps, or WhatsApp.
Utilising a bidirectional communication protocol based on 4G and NB-IoT connectivity, the system enables remote access management and transmits certified data to the cloud, ensuring high security standards.
The solution is completed by an advanced platform that offers 360-degree visibility of every user’s disposal activity, alongside the capability to configure opening systems remotely.
Munich will also see the presentation of IoT solutions for Pay-As-You-Throw systems, encouraging the proper sorting of waste. These include Discovery Mobile, the first wearable RFID reader (available in LF and UHF frequencies) that certifies collection without disrupting operations, and BlackIP, a vehicular UHF RFID antenna with a configurable reading distance of up to 8 metres, which simplifies automated door-to-door tracking. BlackIP transmits real-time data on readings, timestamps, and anomalies to the cloud via Keasyboard, a keypad equipped with 4G/NB-IoT connectivity.
Featuring GPS technology and an IP67 rating for operation in harsh environmental conditions, these PAYT IoT solutions ensure reliable data collection and transmission, alongside full remote configurability.
Finally, IoT solutions for asset monitoring will be exhibited at IFAT 2026. SmartLevel Matrix is an optical sensor featuring Time of Flight (ToF) technology, designed for ultra-precise fill-level detection in bins to optimise waste collection operations.
The tracking of assets, such as compactor containers and roll-off containers, is managed by Asset Track-ID. Equipped with an accelerometer, the device monitors movements or stops in unauthorised geographic areas — customisable via the platform — in real time, preventing loss and theft. Thanks to 4G/NB-IoT technology, GPS, and a long-life battery (lasting over 8 years), these solutions ensure constant, uninterrupted visibility, reducing operational costs and service disruptions.
