NANDO on GSA Igiene Urbana: Smart Waste in Action
GSA Igiene Urbana, one of Italy’s leading publications on waste management and urban hygiene, features an in-depth article about NANDO smart waste in action. This is at the heart of our innovation. Our advanced technology combines artificial intelligence, sensors, cameras, and GPS to transform waste collection trucks into intelligent urban sentinels. This system delivers precise, real-time data that improves waste monitoring, optimizes collection routes, and enhances environmental sustainability.
Innovation and Technology for Smart Waste in Action
The NANDO project began with an AI-powered camera system. Using machine learning and computer vision, NANDO analyzes images to provide accurate data on the type, volume, and weight of waste. Today, this smart waste collection technology has been expanded to collection vehicles, turning trucks into connected, GPS-enabled urban sentinels equipped with intelligent cameras.
Every truck stop becomes a data collection point, allowing precise monitoring of waste types, quantities, and collection locations. NANDO enables detailed, real-time waste tracking that supports smarter waste management by optimizing routes, reducing operational costs, and minimizing CO₂ emissions.
As Riccardo Leonardi, Co-Founder and CEO of ReLearn, explains, this approach stems from the awareness that traditional fill-level sensors alone are no longer sufficient. Our system addresses limitations such as the “pyramid effect” in press containers, which often leads to inaccurate full/empty readings.
With NANDO, information becomes precise, reliable, and actionable—allowing for more efficient planning and better operational decisions. The result is a smarter, more sustainable, and digitally integrated collection service that adapts dynamically to the urban context.
A New Standard in Smart Waste Management
Being featured in GSA Igiene Urbana is a recognition of NANDO’s leadership in smart waste collection innovation. This milestone reflects our commitment to creating a transparent, data-driven waste management system that adapts dynamically to urban environments.
It’s another step toward a waste economy where data drives decisions and cities become cleaner, more efficient, and more resilient.
