Smart Waste : AI-Automated Waste Dumping Detection
SmartWaste by Phoenix AI is an Edge AI-powered system that automates waste detection, helping municipalities, businesses, industrial sites,... tackle illegal dumping efficiently while reducing operational costs.
By leveraging computer vision and AI-powered decision-making, SmartWaste provides real-time waste detection.
Challenges
Illegal waste dumping creates a serious challenge for municipalities and organizations by straining budgets with increased cleanup costs and excessive resource allocation, diverting funds from essential public services and infrastructure improvements.
Unregulated dumping sites contribute to environmental pollution, contaminating soil and water sources while posing health hazards to residents, leading to long-term ecological damage and increased medical concerns.
The presence of illegally dumped waste damages the public image of cities and organizations, creating unsightly and unsafe environments, discouraging tourism and business investment, and reducing property values. Persistent waste issues can erode public trust in local authorities, leading to pressure for costly and reactive solutions rather than proactive, cost-effective waste management strategies.

Intuitive and Customizable Interface
PAI POD – Smart Waste Management Interface
The PAI POD is the embedded web interface of the PAI BOX, designed for intelligent waste management.
It enables users to configure and manage AI-powered detection systems, ensuring accurate monitoring and automation of waste detection processes. Through this interface, users can adjust AI models, detection thresholds, and event recording settings, while also managing multiple cameras by configuring and switching between them.
The real-time event tracking feature provides instant access to detected waste events, with filtering options and related video snapshots for review.
An intelligent filtering system helps reduce false detections by verifying whether an object was previously recorded within a set timeframe.
Additionally, PAI POD seamlessly integrates with external systems such as VMS (Genetec, Milestone) and email notifications via SMTP. The interface also includes a comprehensive analytics dashboard, allowing users to monitor historical data, live counting metrics, and detection reports.
By leveraging PAI POD, users can enhance operational efficiency, automate waste detection, and optimize environmental monitoring with a powerful, user-friendly AI interface.
Customizable Settings
Adapt SmartWaste’s behavior to your needs: adjust recording duration and refine detection with advanced options.
Smart Filter
Reduce false detections with an exclusive algorithm that checks whether the detected object was already present 15 minutes earlier. This feature ensures more accurate waste identifications and less false alarms.
Optimized Recordings
Set the duration of recorded videos capturing moments before and after waste detection for better analysis and decision-making.
