Artificial Intelligence a Real Opportunity for Efficiency & Safety

August 14, 2020

Are you curious about what artificial intelligence can do for the solid waste industry? It’s not science fiction anymore – it can save you time and money, while protecting employees and the public. Two upcoming SWANA Webinars will explain just how this technology works and how it can work for you.

First, leadership from Rubicon and the City of Ft. Smith Sanitation Department will show you how 'smart city' technology is helping develop more resilient sanitation and recycling services. This is more important than ever as communities face the challenges of increasing waste volumes, decreasing budgets, analog data systems, and workforce health concerns. Learn about implementing AI and machine learning technology to improve the efficiency, adaptability and ROI of MSW collection and other fleets on August 20 during the webinar, Navigating COVID: Smart City Technology.

Then, on August 27 join a free webinar to find out about Using Machine Vision + AI To Advance Safety in Waste Fleets by helping  manage drivers' distractions and protect the community. Distracted driving accounts for over 3,000 deaths a year and roughly 1,000 injuries every day. Leadership from Lytx and Waste Connections will speak to the power of MV+AI and why the technology is vital to maintaining a safe fleet.
