Our Approach

How we delivered it

1

Piloted 500 smart bin sensors across 3 high-density districts before full rollout, validating sensor accuracy and connectivity in urban environments.

2

Built a dynamic routing engine that generates optimised daily collection routes based on real-time fill levels, replacing fixed weekly schedules.

3

Developed a fleet management dashboard for the waste management authority showing vehicle locations, route progress, and bin status in real-time.

4

Implemented predictive fill modelling that anticipates bin fill rates based on historical patterns and local event calendars.

5

Delivered a public-facing portal where residents can report overflowing bins and track collection schedules for their street.

Solution Summary

What we built

Deployed IoT fill-level sensors on 6,000 bins with a dynamic routing engine that optimises collection based on real-time fill data.
