veloped the IOI system, which extracts
key information from ORS and sends
it to managers through mobile devices
for them to remotely audit and supervise.
It focuses on tracking targets, issuing
alerts, and ensuring information
mobility. Managers set management
targets- for example, furnace temperatures,
concentration of pollutant
emissions, and waste treatment quantity-and
IOI automatically compares operational
figures of the day before to the
targets. When abnormality is sensed,
IOI automatically sends alerts to mobile
devices so that managers can have intime
information on what happened and
how to best deal with the situation.
In addition, IOI comes with a useful video
monitoring feature. The traffic flow situation
is an important detail that EfW plants
need to monitor-some waste loaded on
trucks needs to be inspected and controlled
before entry. IOI allows managers
and operators to monitor waste truck traffic
through video images of weighbridges
in real time, and lets them better control
the entry of waste to EfW plants.
MMIS. The older an EfW plant becomes,
the more likely it is to face issues
such as key spare parts no longer being in
production or aging equipment. To ensure
EfW plants stay in top shape and equipment
efficacy, maintenance is critical.
There are three essential parts to facilities
and equipment maintenance: routine,
preventive, and corrective maintenance.

Intelligent management involves developing
a set of tools to deal with operations and
maintenance (O&M) more efficiently.
MMIS is an information system that
systemizes and automates maintenance
procedures, from planning and scheduling
to implementation. It can generate a
maintenance log for facilities and equipment,
which helps an operator to analyze
and assess which stage of the lifecycle it
is at, so that old parts can be replaced in
time. MMIS can also automatically generate
a reminder spare parts inventories are
low. The following is a brief description of
how MMIS can be applied to routine, preventive,
and corrective maintenance:
■ Routine maintenance. As soon as an
arrangements and assign proper staff
for the upcoming work. The system
can also notify operators to prepare for
spare parts and components so that
inventory stays at a safe level. When
a problem is sensed during routine
maintenance, such as abnormal leakage,
noise, vibration, or temperatures,
the operator can instantly issue a repair
worksheet with MMIS to increase
overall equipment efficacy.
■ Preventive maintenance. In contrast
to routine care, preventive care is to
foresee potential issues by analyzing
