Collecting garbage containers has never been easier!

Comment

Inspiration

Different backgrounds were combined as a solid team to investigate a serious challenge in the waste management field that presents an unpleasant view and apply technology in it, and to give better experiences for people in Hajj.

What it does

Monitors garbage level and it is applicable to any normal garbage.

How we built it

Cheap electronic components and programming with our software specialist.

Challenges we ran into

Programming and Application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building the prototype! with such a small size and efficient components.

What we learned

To work as a team and collaborate to achieve our main goal, to deliver this product to the market, and to really expand and become entrepreneurs!

What's next for Smart Garbage Container Monitor (SGCM)

SMART CONTAINER! The revolution of normal containers, that uses Computer Vision to sort garbages and does compression to reduce garbage size and save money & efforts. Also, for our Electrical Engineer background, it will be power efficient with Renewable Energy sources, Solar and Wind Turbines. We already have a connection to a company that produces small but efficient wind turbines that is willing to help. The company is "Pure Planet Co. Ltd."

Wait for us in the second stage... we will surprise you with our new features!

Did know that there're 62,439 garbage containers in Hajj! Some of them get full and some don't get full and that is inefficient because of their locations... What if we can distribute them in the best possible way to use the Minimum number of containers but with the best efficiency! Our very low-cost solution is able to do so by inserting it at Any Container and use the collected data to help solve serious issues in the industry.
