Green and Smart Coffee Waste Management System Using Industry 4.0 Technologies

  • Business Problem: The current system for managing used coffee grounds is inefficient and polluting. It generates high operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Project Objective: Develop a framework for an ecological, intelligent, and connected coffee waste management system, and propose a business model for this system.
  • Proposed Solution: Development of:
  1.  A Digital Twin for the management system based on discrete-event simulation.
  2.  Routing optimization models.
  3.  Reverse logistics network design optimization models.
  • Partners: Afmerica, ÉTS, INSEA
  • SDG Impacts: Improved coffee waste management, applicable to Afmerica in the city of Montreal as a starting point. Enhanced competitiveness for Afmerica. Reduced emissions from collection trucks. Student training.
