Lixo: waste intelligence
IoT sensors and machine learning to monitor waste in real time and optimize collection. Reference pilot at Valoriza’s Innovation Hub.
The problem
Traditional waste management relies on fixed routes and preset collection times, which can lead to overflowing bins, inefficient routes and higher operating costs. The lack of real-time information prevents an agile response to the city’s needs.
How it works
Lixo combines IoT sensors installed in waste containers with machine learning algorithms to monitor fill levels in real time. This data optimizes collection routes, prioritizing containers that need to be emptied, reducing unnecessary trips and ensuring containers don’t overflow.
