SAMKITI x SIEMENS: FROM MANUAL DRUMS TO FULLY AUTOMATIC GREEN OUTCOMES

The Before Situation

Before engaging with Samkiti, Siemens Makarpura Unit was operating a manual composting system that was no longer viable for their growing facility needs. Despite being a global leader in industrial innovation, their waste management practices at the ground level faced operational inefficiencies, inconsistent compost output, and increasing compliance pressure.

The absence of automation not only affected productivity and hygiene, but also risked negative ESG and EHS audit outcomes. It was evident that the existing approach lacked scalability, accountability, and alignment with Siemens’ sustainability vision.

Key Challenges:

Manual composting drums produced irregular, low-quality output
12–15 kg/day of food waste was discarded without value recovery
~100 kg/day of dry garden waste remained underutilized
High labour dependency made the process inconsistent and unhygienic
Regular ESG and EHS audits flagged the lack of a structured system

The Trigger

The turning point came when Siemens’ EHS and facility teams recognized that their existing manual composting setup was not just outdated—but also posed a reputational and operational risk. With regular ESG and EHS audits highlighting the lack of a structured waste reuse system, and increasing pressure to align with Siemens’ global sustainability mandates, it became clear that a modern, automated solution was urgently needed.The trigger was not a single event—it was the result of rising inefficiencies, compliance alerts, and a growing awareness that their environmental responsibility needed a smarter, scalable system. That’s when Samkiti’s field outreach arrived at the right moment—offering both technical credibility and a long-term green vision.

The Journey

The transition from manual waste handling to a fully automated composting solution at Siemens Makarpura was a seamless and purpose-driven collaboration between Samkiti and the client’s EHS and facility management teams.It began with a comprehensive site audit where waste volumes, space constraints, and staff involvement were evaluated. Siemens offered full transparency, enabling Samkiti to recommend a 150 kg/day Fully Automatic Composting Machine tailored to their needs.To build further confidence, Samkiti shared real-life case videos and arranged reference calls with existing clients like Schaeffler and Shiva Pharma Chem. A custom ROI analysis projected savings on transport and chemical fertilizers, while boosting audit compliance and internal sustainability visibility.With all decision-makers aligned, the procurement, delivery, and installation moved forward swiftly—executed within a 2-week window. Staff training and SOP handovers ensured operational readiness from Day 1.
