AMCS announces partnership with Viridor on digitalisation programme and says they have successfully implemented the AMCS Platform at Viridor’s two Somerset facilities.
AMCS, a global technology company for the environmental, waste, recycling and resource industries, has announced that the energy recovery and plastics recycling specialist, Viridor, has chosen AMCS as their technology partner to “drive forward” their digitalisation programme and “maximise operating efficiency”.
AMCS and Viridor say they have successfully implemented the AMCS Platform at Viridor’s two Somerset facilities. This will pave the way to seeing the solution rolled out to 22 additional sites including Energy from Waste and polymer reprocessing facilities, the partners say.
AMCS Platform is replacing a legacy weighbridge system with a modern cloud-based solution that it says also offers “significant” additional functionality in terms of logistics scheduling, invoicing, driver-assisted terminals, automatic weighbridges and on-demand forecasting.
Digitalisation is key to Viridor realising its ambition of a ‘building a world where nothing goes to waste’.
The solution will improve the efficiency of all of Viridor’s operational assets and streamline its invoicing process and production, the partnering companies say.
AMCS Platform will be fully integrated into Viridor’s existing Microsoft Dynamics 365 system using AMCS’s REST APIs. As the project progresses, the companies say the platform will be extended for use in inventory management, material grading, demand planning and supplier management.
Commenting on the successful first phase implementation Viridor’s CIO, Dominic Howson, said: “This is the first step of our transformation journey using the AMCS Platform and will play a key role in the increased efficiency of our tech-driven business.
“We are looking forward to developing a stronger partnership with AMCS as we reach our milestones for the additional sites.”
“Digitalisation is key to Viridor realising its ambition of a ‘building a world where nothing goes to waste’ and we look forward to continuing this journey with AMCS.”
