At its Rozenburg and Duiven sites in the Netherlands, AVR incinerates
most of the separated combustible domestic waste from areas across
the different regions of the country. It is also involved in commercial
waste services (from chemical plants, oil sludge, drug processing,
pesticide residues, etc.) at Rozenburg. Facing the demands of commercialization,
the increasing stringency of government regulations on
emissions, and the prospect of its commercial software losing support
from the supplier, the company chose open software from GE Intelligent Platforms’s
Proficy suite to meet its requirements. Novotek, the local distributor for
GE Intelligent Platforms Automation Solutions, took the lead in supporting AVR
throughout all stages of the project.
