Rubicon’s smart city product is now powering the City of
Atlanta’s entire solid waste, recycling, and street-sweeping fleet
of 150 vehicles, digitizing operations and driving greater
efficiency
Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (“Rubicon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
RBT), a leading digital marketplace for waste and recycling and
provider of innovative software-based products for businesses and
governments worldwide, today announced that it has entered into a
three-year smart city partnership with the City of Atlanta, Georgia
(the “City”) to help enhance its residential waste and recycling
services.
The agreement will put Rubicon’s smart city software at the
heart of Atlanta’s Department of Public Works. Rubicon will help
the Department enhance its operations to become a fully digital
function, with a focus on route optimization, digital route sheets,
digital work flows, tracking exceptions in the field, improved
routing for the City’s bulky waste pickup drivers, and street
sweeping. The City will use Rubicon’s technology, procured through
Sourcewell, to balance its waste and recycling routes to streamline
collection, track material and tonnage on its bulky trash routes,
and reduce missed pickups and unnecessary go-backs. With
RUBICONSmartCity™ in place, the Department of Public Works will be
able to closely monitor route performance, identify areas where
waste, recycling, and street sweeping services can be improved, and
make data-driven decisions to enhance route efficiency and better
serve the Atlanta community.
Rubicon is returning to its roots in Atlanta, the site of the
Company’s former headquarters and where the RUBICONSmartCity
product was born.
“We are thrilled to once again be working with the City of
Atlanta to deliver innovative waste and recycling solutions through
the power of Rubicon’s smart city technology,” said Conor Riffle,
Senior Vice President of Smart Cities at Rubicon. “Our partnership
is already helping Atlanta to better manage its waste and recycling
services, while also improving route efficiency, reducing costs,
and enhancing the overall quality of life for its residents.”
With a population of 498,715, the City of Atlanta focuses its
smart city efforts on five core pillars: multi-mode transport,
public safety, the environment, city operations efficiency, and
citizen/business engagement. The City leverages data to make
better-informed decisions that impact its residents, visitors, and
businesses. In utilizing a data-centric model, the City is able to
use descriptive, prescriptive, and predictive capabilities to
radically improve city operational efficiency, service delivery,
and transparency.
RUBICONSmartCity is the smartest way for cities, counties, and
other municipalities to manage heavy-duty fleets. It is a
proprietary, cloud-based technology suite that helps local
governments run faster, smarter, and more effective waste,
recycling, and heavy-duty municipal fleet operations. Local
governments today are required to do more with less.
RUBICONSmartCity helps existing government-owned fleets improve
neighborhood streetscapes by monitoring vehicle health, improving
driver behavior, and ensuring that materials are collected
efficiently. The results: fewer vehicle accidents, less road wear,
and safer communities.
