Introduction The App of the A2C waste management project is currently in an active BETA testing situation, with part of the processes accessible and others under development. The A2C app is already available, as BETA, on the Google Play platform for Android for download on mobile devices. Now, its use is restricted, it is only active for users authorized by the WP1 managers of the project. It is being used as a performance testing system with the first processes already activated on the A2C platform. This way, although it is not publicly displayed, users with authorized Gmail accounts can download the latest version. As it is operational with limited access for test operation, it has been tested with the introduction of data in WASTE ACCEPTANCE for an intermediate collection operator. Right now, it allows entering basic data for each batch of waste, as well as the date and signature of the operator involved in the process. Currently the app consists of multiple operational screens, both for anonymous users and registered agents involved in the processing of materials. ii. Basic User’s Guide: Once the application is downloaded (currently under authorization), the A2C icon will appear for direct access. The app starts with an animation introducing the A2C logo. Anonymous Users (General Public Access): 21 A2C – Deliverable D1.10v1.0 Upon completion, a screen is displayed with a graphic button for scanning by anonymous users. Clicking on this button launches the device's camera and detects the presence of QR codes in the focused area. When scanning a QR code, it is checked if it is a web URL, in which case it is launched in the browser of the device. Once the exact format of these codes and their content are defined, a filter can be implemented so that only the results of products involved in the project are launched. Registered Users (A2C Professional Users): In the upper right corner of the screen there is a discreet "Access" button, clicking on it makes the app advance to the login screen for registered users. LOGIN SCREEN: This screen shows the username and password fields, and a button to confirm the credentials entered. Upon confirmation, these credentials are consulted with the A2C server. If they are valid, it advances to the main menu for authorized users. If they are not, an error message is displayed. The credentials are stored for easy access at future times. Also, if you have successfully logged in at least once, the next time the app is launched, it will automatically advance to the login screen, saving operators unnecessary keystrokes. 22 A2C – Deliverable D1.10v1.0 OPERATIVE BUTTONS MENU: The menu for authorized users currently consists of multiple buttons in anticipation that, depending on the role of the user who has accessed, some possible actions or others are shown. 6 types of users are identified: 1. admin, with access to all forms. 2. plastic-manager, with access to the 3 plastic waste forms. 3. plastic-manufacturer, with access to the manufacturer material receipt form. 4. al-delaminate producer, with access to the aluminized layer classification form. 5. organic manager, with access to the organic waste acceptance form. 23 A2C – Deliverable D1.10v1.0 6. organic-nut-formulator, with access to the extract receipt form (nutraceutical formulation). APP CALLING FOR THE QR SCAN: Clicking on this button launches the camera for QR scanning in a similar way to scanning for anonymous users. However, when scanning a valid QR code, what the app does is check if the code complies with the proper format, in which case it checks the code with the A2C server. If the code has the valid format and the A2C server returns information associated with said code, the app advances to the waste acceptance confirmation form. Otherwise, it displays an error message. LOT DATA SCREEN: In this case, the Waste Reception has been selected, and the lot code has been scanned. The lot data are opened, and it must be confirmed. In the waste acceptance confirmation form. Currently, the more than forty data that this action may require are displayed. A confirmation button is displayed at the bottom of the screen. WASTE ACCEPTATION SCREEN: 24 A2C – Deliverable D1.10v1.0 The screen of waste acceptance is opened, and the receiver must decide if he accepts the lot, why and any new data about the lot characteristics. Between all the forms, the “waste acceptance” one is the longer and it has many fields; this is the reason why it is divided into three screens, with “next” and “previous” buttons in each screen. On the third screen, the acceptance field allows you to choose between yes and no; if it is chosen “not accepted”, 5 additional fields are shown to describe the reason for nonadmission and define new delivery dates. Once the lot has been accepted and all their data introduced, the system accepts the lot as received and all the data transmitted to the database. One message appears on the screen as “Acceptation successfully done” and the user is returned to the main menu. Otherwise, an error message is displayed, allowing you to modify the values and reconfirm the shipment without repeating the process from the beginning. The pretreatment form has an “extruder machine selection” field. Clicking on it, the available extruders are shown (according to API). Once confirmed the form, an additional batch ID field is added, which is automatically generated from the date and extruder ID. OTHER ACCEPTATION SCREENS: 25 A2C – Deliverable D1.10v1.0 All the other forms work in a similar way: ● QR is scanned, it is checked if it is valid for the user and the selected options. ● Relevant product data is obtained from the API. ● The form is launched with all possible fields already filled in. ● When confirmed, it is sent to where it should be, obtaining an OK (with or without PDFs and with or without QRs), or an error. ● In case of OK, the user returns to the menu; in case of error the user is allowed to edit the fields and try again. Here are shown the form for “Aluminized Layer Classification” and “Manufacturer Material Reception”. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT THE App SCREENS: ● Date fields display a widget that allows you to select the date using vertical spinners. ● If a form confirmation returns a PDF document generated in the API, the app automatically downloads it. 32 A2C – Deliverable D1.10v1.0 4. Conclusions In conclusion, this deliverable has provided a comprehensive demonstration of the technologies developed at a pilot scale within the framework of Work Package Number Six. The development and testing of this system have been conducted in strict adherence to the unique technical requirements of each project partner across the entire project life cycle. Our primary emphasis has been placed on processes that are more mature and welldefined, acknowledging the inherent complexity of creating a software solution within this intricate context. As a result, this deliverable stands as an invaluable guide, offering insights into the various challenges and scenarios that technical partners may encounter when utilising their respective operational modules. By addressing these technical intricacies and offering practical insights, we aim to facilitate a smoother integration of these technologies into the overall project, ultimately contributing to the success and efficiency of our collaborative efforts. Once the rest of the demonstrators are ready and integrated, we will be able to test it on real situations more than on isolated processes.
