[CASE STUDY]
JJ's Waste & Recycling
The J-Weigh product measures the volume and type of waste from shopping centre tenants in order to increase awareness of general waste and lagging sustainability practices.
J-Weigh controls access to a compactor via RFID cards, weighs the waste on a scale, tipping the waste into the compactor once successful. The product works offline to support basement zones where wi-fi and network is patchy.
The solution was designed and built within 8 weeks, working alongside JJ's hardware vendor.

About JJ's Waste & Recycling
JJ's Waste & Recycling is a proudly Australian owned and operated family business that has been providing innovative waste management solutions throughout Australia since 1932.
The Challenge
Decreasing general waste, by increasing waste diversion
Sustainability and the impacts on the environment are important topics in society today. In response to the increasing awareness in these areas, organisations are focusing more on how they can improve their environmental footprint.
Increasing waste diversion is increasingly a priority for shopping centre managers. Organisations are partnering with JJ's Waste & Recycling who offer waste solutions that allow them to track more effectively the amount and type of waste, alongside who is contributing towards this.
"From the first day, the Patient Zero team sought to fully understand our needs, and to help us deliver this solution. We had the challenge of collaborating across multiple internal business units, our end customers and a hardware vendor. This engagement was a great example of collaboration between Patient Zero, JJ's Waste & Recycling and other parties.
We also wanted a solution that fit our existing architecture, something that we could support internally. This solution is a perfect example of partnership with a software vendor, where we got a great solution, and our customers will reap the benefits.
That we have a solution built in a matter of weeks, which can scale to hundreds of centres and their tenants is really exceptional. "

The Process
The Technology
- Rest/JSON API, built with ASP.NET Core
- Angular PWA UI suitable for web or mobile consumption
- HA Kubernetes microservice architecture hosted on Azure AKS
- Multi-tenant with distributed background task processing
- Comprehensive set of Cypress UI tests
- Immutable, feature based CICD Pipeline
- Code to Production with full regression testing < 10 minutes
The solution required integration of the physical waste compactor to a swipe card enabled hardware device, to a cloud-based API before presentation through a Web Portal. Patient Zero delivered the cloud-based API and Web Portal components. Working in conjunction with JJ's Waste & Recycling IT and their hardware vendor, Patient Zero designed and developed a suitable API, allowing for data capture, fault tracking and supportability for geo-distributed hardware with intermittent internet access.
