Case Study
Waste Management System
Dubai’s smart waste system now uses cameras, AI, and real-time data to optimize waste collection, cut costs, and improve sustainability.
Dubai’s smart waste system now uses cameras, AI, and real-time data to optimize waste collection, cut costs, and improve sustainability.
Dubai implemented the Smart Waste Management System to revolutionize waste collection. The system uses three-sided cameras on waste collection trucks to capture street footage, enabling real-time waste identification and categorization. The solution leverages Tensorflow Lite for image classification, Python for real-time processing, and MariaDB for data storage. A two-member team, comprising a Business Analyst and a Data Engineer, spearheaded this innovative project to create a cleaner, greener Dubai.
Our client is responsible for implementing innovative waste management solutions to optimize collection and disposal processes. Their goal was to optimize waste collection and disposal using a tech-driven solution.

> Inefficiency in routine waste collection schedules.
> Increased fuel consumption and operational costs due to unoptimized routes.
> Lack of real-time waste categorization and actionable insights.
> Delays in addressing waste-related issues like illegal dumping or overflowing bins.
The solution involved installing three-sided cameras on trucks to capture continuous street video, using Tensorflow Lite for real-time waste classification into recyclables, organic, and general categories. Python powered real-time processing and decision-making, while MariaDB stored detailed waste data, including type, location, and timestamps. A Business Analyst and Data Engineer collaborated to align the technical implementation with project goals, ensuring seamless execution and optimal results.
The system optimized waste collection routes, reducing fuel usage and costs. Real-time waste categorization enhanced resource allocation and response times to waste-related issues. Authorities leveraged data analytics to make informed decisions, leading to better waste management strategies. Dubai now benefits from cleaner streets, a sustainable environment, and streamlined operations.
