Challenge / Goal
The City of Cardiff sought to address the dual challenge of increasing waste management costs and the need for environmental conservation. The goal was to overhaul the traditional waste collection system to a more efficient, data-driven model that could adapt to the city's dynamic needs, reduce carbon emissions from waste collection fleets, and engage citizens in sustainable practices.
Solution
Cardiff Council, in partnership with IoTech Innovations Ltd., introduced smart bins equipped with IoT sensors to monitor fill levels. This data feeds into an AI-powered route optimization system that dynamically schedules pickups, reducing unnecessary collections and saving on operational costs.
