Solution
Smart Waste Management
Fixed collection schedules mean overflowing bins in some locations and wasted trips to empty ones in others. MatrixAI connects bins and vehicles so that collection is driven by data.
- What problem do we solve?
- Overflowing bins and complaints
- How do we solve it?
- Sense → Connect → Plan → Report
- What technologies do we use?
- LoRaWAN, GPS, Ultrasonic / ToF sensing, MQTT, REST API
- What can we integrate?
- Fleet management, Municipal platforms, CAFM, Customer portals
The problem
Collect waste when it is needed — not on a fixed schedule
- Overflowing bins and complaints
- Unnecessary collections of half-empty bins
- No visibility of container location or tampering
- Fuel and labour wasted on fixed routes
Our approach
How we solve it
- 1
Sense
Fill-level, weight, lid and GPS sensors on bins and containers.
- 2
Connect
Long-range LoRaWAN coverage across campuses, communities or city districts.
- 3
Plan
Collection alerts and optimised routes based on actual fill levels.
- 4
Report
Service-level, diversion and performance reporting.
