Australia adopts new waste management strategy via Nokia AI Tech

As countries with sparse populations are transitioning into densely populated regions there are concerns regarding the waste management. Different countries use different waste management strategies. Some countries practice recycling while others focus on incineration to manage the waste. 

 

Big companies including One Plus Systems, Ecube Labs are developing smart technologies like automatic waste systems,  trash tracker devices , and streamlined trash pickup machines as waste management tools. These advanced technologies are providing an aid to the big complex world of waste management. 

 

Melbourne, the capital of Australia is testing  Nokia’s Scene Analytics system for its waste management. This AI based system will provide insights into waste disposal. It will also focus on reducing waste in individual household units. The robust AI system is integrated with IoT sensors for monitoring the waste compactors. 

 

Illegal waste dumping in Australia, is the prime reason behind the adoption of “AI” based waste management strategy. According to an estimate Australia generates 67 million tonnes of waste annually. These waste production rates are alarming.  Considering the present scenario new waste management strategies were the need of the hour.

Nokia Scene Analytics

 

Nokia Scene Analytics employs an AI algorithm for data filtration and data collection. It will also compile data from different sources for creating real time alerts and report analysis. Scene Analytics will lend its support to  Australia’s long term goal of smart waste disposal. 

 

The  Analytics trial was conducted to understand the relation between illegal waste dumping and contractor downtime. Access to nearby locations, real time location data, and new techniques for waste disposal are suggested by the AI algorithm. 

 

Companies from different business realms are employing Scene Analytics for enhanced monitoring. Nokia is also debuting on the video analytics platform. This open solution is a combination of edge computing and cloud. Anomaly detection, object detection and object counting are some new advancements in analytics platforms that will help in achieving results within minimum time frame. 

 

According to AI NEWS, Melbourne’s mayor said, “Our partnership with Nokia is another way we are gathering data to make Melbourne a safer, smarter, and more sustainable city.”

 

This innovative project will help to avoid hazards and make our streets even cleaner by allowing our waste services to better understand behavior trends related to the illegal and dangerous dumping of waste.”  

 

Companies worldwide are leveraging the key benefits of Nokia’s Advanced AI integrated IoT system. More than 1500 business enterprises from diverse business sectors have employed Nokia’s smart solutions.
