LondonWaste EcoPark was awarded one of the country's top awards at the 2011 BCS & Computing UK IT Industry Awards.

The Isys system, Gatehouse, enables LondonWaste to improve efficiency, productivity and customer service. LondonWaste EcoPark handles increasing amounts of recycling materials, within recycling, composting and energy generation centres throughout its 17 hectare site.

Richard Bowers, Managing Director of Isys Interactive, says: "This is a tremendous award for our team of developers. Winning any award is a boost to morale in a highly competitive industry, but these are the top national awards for the whole of the IT industry, not just waste."

The Isys Interactive Gatehouse system operated by LondonWaste at Edmonton automates much of the weighing and security issues involved in heavily laden trucks entering and leaving the site, at the same time as meeting the fast responses required by drivers, and the demands of a busy weighbridge and barrier system.

LondonWaste, which won the Small Business Project of the Year category, operates an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system at its LondonWaste EcoPark in the north of the capital. This allows pre-registered vehicles to automatically have the barriers released to the weighing platforms and to ensure vehicles are entering the correct disposal areas on site.
