About

NANDO is an Artificial Intelligence software designed to recognize and measure waste with exceptional precision, identifying material type, volume, and weight directly at the point of disposal. Its advanced computer vision and data processing capabilities allow it to operate seamlessly in a wide range of environments, transforming traditional waste collection systems into intelligent, data-driven infrastructures.

Its flexibility makes it suitable for multiple operational contexts:

  • Waste collection trucks: Installed on the collection vehicle, NANDO identifies the composition and quantity of waste as it is collected. This offers unprecedented visibility into what is happening along the entire collection chain, enabling data-driven decisions on routing, fleet management, and material recovery.

  • Urban collection bins: NANDO can be installed on standard street bins or smart containers, enabling real-time monitoring of the quantity and quality of the waste disposed of by citizens. This supports municipalities in improving recycling rates, optimizing collection routes, and reducing operational costs.

  • Municipal collection centers: By recognizing materials as they are delivered, NANDO provides accurate data on the flow of waste, facilitating more efficient sorting, reporting, and regulatory compliance. This enables local authorities to enhance performance indicators and meet sustainability targets.

  • Commercial activities: From office buildings to shopping centers and industrial facilities, NANDO provides companies with real-time data on waste production. This allows them to measure environmental impact, optimize disposal costs, and implement circular economy strategies aligned with corporate sustainability goals.

By integrating NANDO across these different settings, waste management becomes measurable, traceable, and more efficient, enabling both public and private operators to make informed decisions that reduce costs and increase environmental performance.
