QR-based inventory system for a hazardous waste company

An inventory system for a hazardous waste management company that logs each waste item by QR code and traces it from collection to final disposal.

About the client

The client is a hazardous waste management company. It collects, processes and disposes of industrial and chemical waste.

The challenge

Manual tracking of hazardous waste created safety risks and compliance issues for the company.

  • Errors in waste records
  • No real-time view of inventory levels or locations
  • Time-consuming data entry and record keeping

What we built

The inventory system runs on a PostgreSQL database and uses a QR code to identify every waste item.

01

QR code logging

Scanning an item's QR code identifies it and logs it in the system, so its details no longer have to be entered by hand.

02

Stock monitoring and alerts

Stock levels are monitored automatically, with alerts, and inventory is managed by location.

03

Collection-to-disposal tracing

Each item can be traced from collection through to final disposal.

04

Capacity and disposal forecasts

AI-based forecasting supports planning for storage capacity and scheduling disposals.

The results

The company has replaced manual waste tracking with a custom inventory system.

  • Items are logged by scan, so fewer records need correcting
  • Stock levels and storage locations can be checked at any moment
  • Staff spend less time typing in and maintaining records
