Yiwei Smart Sanitation Management Platform

As the sanitation industry accelerates its transition toward electrification and smart operations, more cities and sanitation service providers are deploying electric sanitation vehicles at scale. However, the expansion of electric fleets also brings new management challenges: vehicles operate across dispersed areas, making it difficult to monitor their status and operations in real time, while manual inspections remain time-consuming and inefficient. Dispatching often still relies on phone calls, making it harder to respond quickly to unexpected cleaning tasks and emergency service needs.

Digital transformation in sanitation is about far more than simply replacing conventional vehicles with electric ones. It is a comprehensive shift in how sanitation operations are managed across every process and every touchpoint.

As a company deeply engaged in the R&D, manufacturing, and deployment of new energy sanitation vehicles, Yiwei Auto goes beyond vehicle hardware. We also focus on the digital needs of real-world sanitation operations, developing our own integrated Smart Sanitation Management Platform.

Built around “one-screen visualized management,” the platform connects the entire operational chain—from vehicle monitoring and task dispatching to maintenance management—helping sanitation operators move from manual, fragmented management to data-driven, intelligent operations.

1.Real-Time Fleet Visibility: Every Vehicle, Fully in View

One of the biggest challenges in traditional sanitation management is delayed information and limited operational visibility. Managers often lack real-time insight into where vehicles are, what they are doing, whether tasks are being completed as required, or whether equipment is operating normally.

As a result, daily supervision relies heavily on manual inspections and after-the-fact reviews. This approach is not only time- and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to identify issues such as unauthorized operations, unnecessary vehicle travel, missed cleaning areas, or vehicles leaving their assigned routes or work areas.

Monitoring platform

Powered by GIS-based digital mapping, in-vehicle sensing terminals, and high-definition monitoring equipment, the Yiwei Smart Sanitation Management Platform creates a unified visual map of sanitation operations.

It brings vehicles, field personnel, cleaning routes, and waste transfer points into one digital management system, giving operators a comprehensive, real-time view of sanitation activities across the entire service area—all from a single screen.

real-time tracking

The platform captures key data such as vehicle location, travel routes, operating speed, and working hours in real time. Vehicle status across a wide range of sanitation applications—including road sweepers, waste collection trucks, guardrail cleaning vehicles, and vacuum trucks—is continuously synchronized, giving managers a clear, up-to-date view of fleet distribution and operational status across the entire service area.

tracking operation data

Powered by intelligent in-vehicle sensing devices, the platform automatically identifies irregular practices such as missed cleaning, insufficient coverage, speeding during operations, and unauthorized parking. The system captures and stores evidence automatically, triggering intelligent alerts for timely intervention.

This transforms traditional “watching vehicles and monitoring routes” into a smarter, data-driven approach, making sanitation service quality measurable, traceable, and controllable.

2.Smart Dispatching: From Reactive Response to Optimized Resource Allocation

Sanitation operations are complex and constantly changing. From routine cleaning and holiday service coverage to storm-related debris removal and sudden surges in waste, unexpected demands can arise at any time. Traditional manual dispatching often suffers from fragmented information and lengthy response chains, leading to uneven workloads, inefficient resource allocation, and delayed response.

The Yiwei Smart Sanitation Management Platform integrates an AI-powered dispatching system to break down information silos and enable needs-based task assignment, proximity-based dispatching, dynamic resource coordination, and closed-loop execution. This makes sanitation operations more responsive, efficient, and precise.

Based on road cleaning grades, service frequency, and vehicle operating conditions, the platform automatically plans optimized routes and intelligently assigns vehicles and personnel. This helps prevent duplicated work and missed service areas while significantly improving the consistency and standardization of daily sanitation operations.

operation data analysis

The platform automatically aggregates key operational data, including daily service mileage, cleaning coverage, waste transfer volume, and attendance compliance, and generates visualized reports. These insights provide data-driven support for operational optimization, workforce performance assessment, and resource allocation, helping managers move beyond experience-based decision-making toward more informed, data-driven dispatching.

3.Full-Cycle Maintenance Management: Lower Costs, Higher Efficiency, Better Fleet Control

The battery, motor, and electronic control systems—the core components of new energy sanitation vehicles—are critical to stable and reliable operations. Traditional maintenance often follows a “repair when it breaks, respond when a fault occurs” approach, resulting in high repair costs and extended downtime that can significantly affect fleet availability and sanitation service continuity.

The Yiwei Smart Sanitation Management Platform provides an intelligent, full-lifecycle maintenance system covering vehicle status monitoring, maintenance reminders, fault alerts, after-sales support, and service record management. It transforms fleet maintenance from “reactive repairs” to “proactive prediction,” helping operators identify potential issues earlier and keep vehicles running reliably.

4.Integrated Hardware & Software: A Smart Solution Built for Real-World Sanitation Operations

Many sanitation management platforms on the market focus mainly on data visualization, with limited integration between software and hardware and insufficient adaptation to real-world sanitation scenarios. As a result, they often struggle to fully address the practical needs of frontline sanitation operations.

one-stop solution

Yiwei Auto follows a dual-track approach of in-house vehicle development and in-house platform development, covering the full chain from vehicle R&D and manufacturing to digital fleet management. This enables greater control over both hardware and software while allowing the platform to be closely adapted to real sanitation operations.

Every platform function is developed around practical sanitation scenarios, focusing on what operators actually need—without unnecessary features or flashy dashboards. The result is a practical digital solution designed to address real management challenges.

5.Empowering Sanitation with Smart Technology: Shaping a New Era of Intelligent Operations

Fine-grained urban sanitation management requires more than the green upgrade of physical equipment—it also depends on digital tools that make operations smarter and more efficient.

Yiwei Auto stays focused on the real needs of the sanitation industry. Beyond developing reliable, energy-efficient, and highly adaptable new energy sanitation vehicles, we use our Smart Sanitation Management Platform to connect data across the entire operational chain—from tasks, personnel, and vehicles to equipment and risk management.

With one-screen visibility and unified digital management, the platform helps sanitation operators reduce costs, improve service quality, and increase operational efficiency, supporting the transition toward greener, smarter, and more refined urban sanitation.

Powder Coat Booths

For those larger-sized parts, or smaller quantity runs, we have 2 independent powder coat booths and ovens. The quality, durability and affordability of today’s powder coating finishes make this the process of choice for world-class companies.

Powder coating advantages over other forms of coating are many. Materials used in the Powder coating process can be metals and non-metals that come in a multitude of thicknesses, textures, colors, etc. Another of Powder coating’s biggest advantages over conventional coatings is its ability to create finishes in many different textures. Powder Coating Booths allow us the ability to apply these advantages to large products.

Wet Paint Line

Tri-State Fabricators runs a full-service conveyor line for painting. Wet painting can provide protection or decoration to many different part styles. From start to finish, every project is easier to undergo random and point-based inspection by our skilled painting team.

Advantages to our Wet Paint Line are these lines start with product prep and ends with a thorough inspection of a high quality finished product. Our ability to complete large and small projects with a superior finish and doing so in a timely and economical fashion. This passes along the savings in production to our customers. When powder coating ins not an option, our Wet Paint Line gets the job done right the first time.

Wet Paint Booths

When the parts get big and heavy we roll-out our custom paint racks and oversize booth. By utilizing our partnerships with all the major paint brands, we can match virtually any color with wet paint.

The advantages of having access to a Wet Paint Booth are many. Large projects of many different shapes can be loaded into the booth. The Wet Paint Booth offers an environment that is much more controlled than a typical parts painting operation.

Not only are they used because of their controlled environment, but they’re are also advantageous when it comes to applying paint to parts that are needed in industries that require specialty coatings such as medical, aerospace, etc.

Military CARC

Our military forces have some very high standards when it comes to the finish of their vehicles and equipment. From the first pre-treatment step to final coat, it takes a great deal of knowledge and experience to protect the men and women of our armed forces. They deserve only the best, and Tri-State Fabricators provides it.

All of our processes are closely monitored by our staff and management teams. Both of which are highly trained in the processes of metal fabrication and finishing. Tri-State Fabricators’ goal is to always fully satisfy each and every customer, including the military. We will always put a 110% into what we do.

Glass-Bead Blasting

Abrasive media blasting is an excellent way to remove old paint, rust, and increase the paint/powder adhesion. Glass beads produce a much smoother and brighter finish than angular abrasives; leaving the part clean yet without any dimensional change. Chemically inert and environmentally friendly, we can recycle our beads approximately 30 times; making them a more preferred method of metal cleaning or surface finishing.

Advantages to Glass Bead Blasting are many. Glass bead blast media is used when a project is needing rough surfaces need to become smooth for applications of coatings such as paint. It is typically used to clean paint and rust from a product surface without deforming the surface it is being used on. Overall, compared to many other blasting media, Glass Bead Blasting is a very economical choice and those savings are always passed on to our customers.

Part Washing

Tri-State Fabricators utilize a zinc phosphate wash to clean and etch the material to ensure the best paint adhesion possible. The unique design of our 3-stage wash system does the work like a 5-stage. From Cleaning and rinsing to conversion coating and post-treatment, Our Part Washing process is a complete service and works throughout the fabrication service and the finishing service.

Along with the previously mentioned benefits, Curing is a vital chemical reaction that leaves the product finish hard and relatively safe from mild abrasion and aggressive corrosion. This process can be done in more than one way; ambient air-dry or in curing ovens at temps that exceed 240°.

Burn-Off Oven

From fixing paint mistakes (someone else’s of course) to simply cleaning our paint line hooks, our burn-off oven is put to good use. After a quick burn-off, a little clean up, and a fresh coat of paint, your parts will look better than new.

Why does our Burn-Off Oven work so well? Because super heating the air around parts turns the materials into ashes. From paint and powder coatings to rubber and machining oils, high temps do the job without degrading the integrity of the part.

Masking

Masking is a vital part of producing high quality products. We have die-cut masking patterns to protect machined surfaces as well as a wide range of plugs and caps to protect threaded holes and bolts. We provide permanent and temporary masking.

Masking allows the selected sections of a product to be protected from a fabrication or finishing service. This can be with both chemicals when etching and tapes, paints when only finishing just a section of the product. Masking is great in aiding the customization process of a project.

Screen Printing

Screen printing is a photographic process that transfers artwork onto a porous nylon screen which allows colored ink to flow through the screen and be deposited on an aluminum or plastic component. We can generally have just about any design created onto a screen for your parts.

Some of the advantages of Screen Printing are, brand recognition for your business displaying on your products, assembly instructions, product warnings/hazards, etc. Tri-State Fabricators produces Screen Printing of the highest quality so you know it’s durable.

Metal Finishing

Metal Finishing is the art of treating the exterior portion of product, often metal but can also be made of other materials, so that the surface is clean and free of any debris. Then the process of applying coats or either paint of powder coat takes place. This coating process improves the quality of the product in both appearance and resistance to wear and corrosion.

Tri-State Fabricators, Inc., understands that a project typically isn’t complete until a high-quality finish has been added to your product. This is why our painting and powder coating teams continuously inspect the products throughout the Metal Finishing process.
