A food waste disposal system includes a waste disposal machine, a PLC, which controls the operation of the food waste disposal machine; at least one scale connected to a load cell indicator; door sensors; a minicomputer, a network connection, the minicomputer in data communication with an analytics cloud. The mincomputer includes SSL certificates; validates data communicated to the analytics cloud; stores the data in a centralized database and transmit a successful status code to the mini- computer after determining that the data is valid; and transmits an error code if the data validation fails, or another type of system error occurs; examines, aggregates and processes validated data; and determines the amount of waste dumped into the waste disposal machine based on door-open and door-closed states; and pre-aggregates a weight processed data by time or by digester to provide reporting to an end-user. |
