DigiWaste Platform
All SyS Products
The DigiWaste Platform is a fully integrated digital ecosystem designed to support the end-to-end management, traceability and characterization of radioactive materials generated during decommissioning and dismantling (D&D) operations. The platform combines radiation measurements, UHF RFID tagging and centralized data management into a single interoperable framework, enabling seamless tracking of waste items from initial detection to final storage or disposal.
At the core of the system is a network of radiation-tolerant RFID tags, handheld spectroscopic instrumentation and a customizable database infrastructure that ensures secure storage, synchronization and accessibility of operational data. By merging radiological characterization with automated identification and geolocated tracking, the DigiWaste Platform enhances workflow efficiency, regulatory compliance and data integrity across complex nuclear decommissioning environments, supporting both field operators and centralized decision-making systems.

The Solution
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.

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.
