Contamination model on trucks
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A recycling program loses loads to contamination, but cannot tell which routes or addresses are causing it, so education goes everywhere and changes nothing.
// What we would build
A custom vision model, fine-tuned on the program's own hopper camera images, that flags likely contamination as each cart is tipped, tied to the cart's RFID lift record, so the program can send targeted notices to the addresses that need them.
// What is in it
- Hopper camera images captured at each lift
- Likely contamination flagged by type, for a reviewer to check
- Flags tied to the address through the cart's RFID lift record
- Targeted notices and follow-up for repeat addresses
- A model fine-tuned on your images and measured on a held-out set
