Collection route
Runs a fixed collection route on schedule, logged stop by stop.
Solution · Waste Management
The route runs, regardless of headcount or shift.
Collection routes, sorting-yard logistics and heavy container movement — the physically hardest part of waste operations. werob integrates real robotics manufacturers so the route runs on schedule, whatever the roster looks like.

Solution · Waste Management
The yard work nobody wants on the roster.
Sorting-yard logistics and heavy container movement are physically demanding, high-turnover work — repetitive routes, heavy loads, and a headcount gap that’s structural across the sector. A robot runs the route on schedule, moves the container, and logs the pass, so your people stay on the work that needs judgement: sorting quality, exceptions, and the parts of the yard a robot shouldn’t run alone.
What the robot runs
Sorting-yard logistics
Moves material through the sorting yard on the route that ties up a person pushing a cart.
Heavy container movement
Moves heavy containers between dock, yard and collection point without a forklift operator tied to the loop.
Shift-independent operation
Runs the route across shift changes and headcount gaps without a handover delay.

This is a newly available werob capability, not a live werob deployment. Fernride and other named manufacturers are real, shipping products in the market, not confirmed werob partners; werob is manufacturer-independent and matches the platform to the yard.
Waste management questions
- Does the robot replace our sorting-yard crew?
- No — it takes the repetitive route off the roster so your crew focuses on sorting quality, exceptions, and safety oversight.
- Can it handle a mix of container sizes and weights?
- Hardware is matched per site through Supplier Match — the spec captures your actual container range before any hardware is selected.
- Does it work in a live, active collection yard?
- Yes — the route is planned around active traffic and staffed zones during the spec phase, not retrofitted after deployment.
- What about autonomous collection on public streets?
- That’s still pilot-stage across the market, not a serviceable product today — werob doesn’t sell it as available until a real, production hardware match exists.
