DigiWaste Platform
The World’s First Fully Digital Platform for Nuclear Waste Management
- Data Access, quick access to all information produced during the D&D activity cycle
- Tagging, easy identification and tracking of all RFID-tagged items
- Automation, automatic inventory of tagged waste containers and report generation
- Categorization, waste bagging, categorization and grouped-waste monitoring
- Task Assignment, operator-specific tasks and instructions assignments
- Sorting, waste sorting according to user defined criteria
- Synchronization, continuous monitoring and update of waste data
- Traceability, historical data traceability of the waste
- Mapping, new-site characterization with interactive mapping of sources
Overview
The CAEN SyS DigiWaste Platform is the first fully comprehensive solution which provides seamless digitization of D&D activities. The system offers easy tracking of any type of radioactive material or object produced via D&D operations thanks to the use of specialized, radiation tolerant UHF RFID tags. The data included in these RFID tags is integrated into a central database, where all relevant information associated with the D&D cycle is securely stored and easily accessed by authorized personnel.
The DigiWaste Platform relies on an innovative and unprecedented handheld instrument, the RadHAND. This pioneering technology combines state-of-the-art radiation measurement capabilities with read/write UHF RFID tagging, all while integrating a color camera, audio recorder, and GPS and UWB localization for both outdoor and indoor positioning. Taking advantage of this system, D&D operators can easily identify radioactive sources and initiate the waste tracking process at the earliest possible phase of the D&D cycle.
All the information produced in subsequent D&D activities can be uploaded, collected and processed by the customizable database framework, RadBASE. This information, together with operational instructions, may be accessed by on-field operators equipped with dedicated, ruggedized, and highly portable RFID readers from the RadREAD family.

The Benefits Of DigiWaste Platform
DigiWaste Platform offers several major advantages in terms of optimization, safety, security, and compliance. These advantages are realized thanks to easy, fast, and reliable access to all the information collected at any point of the D&D cycle.
RADHAND 600 PRO
Spectroscopic Radiation Measurements and UHF RFID Tagging Handheld
RadHAND is the world’s first hand-held instrument designed to perform both spectroscopic radiation measurement and UHF RFID tagging of nuclear waste material and objects.
- State-of-the-art algorithms allow top performance on nuclide identification and dose-rate measurements
- Fully wireless connectivity for hands-free operation
- 8hr operation on battery
- Multiple Units may be linked to develop a network of sensors
- Integrated GPS for geo-localization and timing information (customizable in-door applications)
- Locally encrypted data may be saved on-board or transmitted to a secure remote database
- Supports integration of external application-specific probes such as alpha/beta contaminameters, neutron detectors, and high resolution CdZnTe gamma spectrometers
RadREAD
Stand-alone, ruggedized portable UHF RFID reader family
Our RadREAD devices are specially designed to provide the Operator with quick and easy access to all relevant Decommissioning & Dismantling information contained in the RadBASE database by simply scanning the RFID tag enhancing the ALARA approach.
Highlights
- Wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
- Rugged, IP65 rated case supports operation in harsh environments and easy decontamination
- Raised buttons allow users to interface and control unit while wearing gloves
- Bar code reader included for a seamless transition from legacy tracking systems
RadRFID
Rad-tolerant UHF RFID tag family
CAEN SyS utilizes UHF FRID technology which allows the Operator to read/write RFID tags at a distance and without the benefit of line-of-sight, as is required by competitive technologies.
CAEN SyS UHF RFID tags are able to sustain a total dose above 300 Gy. This guarantees longterm, reliable, and accurate data collection, updating, and storage for tagged objects.
Our RadRFID tags are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials to provide the best possible fit for the many objects, containers, and enclosures found throughout the D&D cycle.
Highlights
- Technology extensively used in the logistic field
- Embedding internal memory for local information storing
- Univocal item association (unique EPC & tag)
RADBASE
Database framework for data storage and integrated customized processes
RadBASE is a data management framework designed to support the development, tracking and integration of information critical to Decommissioning & Dismantling and waste management activities. User-specific access levels determine the type of data an operator may retrieve.
