CASE STUDY
Transforming Bottle Depot Reporting with RecycloRobo's AI Vision
Most bottle return depots in BC use Point of Return (POR) systems provided by Encorp and other providers. These systems report the total quantities of various classes of products, such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans, glass bottles, and other recyclable containers.
The Issues with the Current POR
- Does not provide detailed information on specific products within each class.
- Insufficient details for efficient and effective fund allocation.
- Challenges in accurately analyzing consumer behavior and identifying patterns.
- Lack of specific product insights hinders informed marketing and production decisions.
