reduce revenue leakage with visual proof
Contaminated recycling and overfilled containers are quietly eroding your margins. To help reduce revenue leakage, AMCS Vision AI provides an AI-powered waste monitoring system, designed to detect material composition and overfill events – without adding work for your drivers.
Installed on collection vehicles and other operational assets, the system uses onboard cameras to capture images in real time. AI and machine learning models then analyze the images to identify target events such as: overfilled containers, incorrect material separation, or composition trends.
Detected events are automatically surfaced in the AMCS Platform with photographic evidence so waste and recycling operators can improve safety, pinpoint issues, and take corrective action. And because detection happens continuously on every collection route, there’s no need for drivers to perform manual checks.

dashboard insights
Vision AI reveals operational insights with a dashboard that shows actionable overfill and contamination trends and sources, all fully integrated into the AMCS Platform so events enter the workflow seamlessly.
multiple uses
Monitor and record service exceptions such as blocked access and overloading, or log safety hazards automatically. Vision AI supports multiple applications so teams can tackle more than just waste contamination.
automatic image capture
Cameras and recording devices continuously capture images which are automatically analysed by AI/ML models, helping waste operations run more efficiently using AI waste management solutions. AI-powered event recognition means you’ll never miss contamination, overfills, service exceptions, and hazards—all without adding workload for drivers.
flexible deployment
Deploy Vision AI across collection vehicles, compactors, and other assets, as a standalone solution or as an integrated module within the AMCS Platform. Scale AI-driven insights across your fleets and facilities with minimal disruption.
composition analysis
Vision AI provides granular insights into material composition across collections, loading bays, or sorting lines. This enables operators to understand what is being collected or processed at scale, supporting better operational decisions and improved recycling outcomes.
AMCS Vision AI has provided us with great insight into the composition of the material that we are collecting. It is highly automated and provides insights to drive our decisions on improving the quality of our recyclate and providing valuable feedback to our customers to drive behavioural change.
FAQ
AMCS Vision AI is a computer vision and AI solution for waste and recycling operations that automatically detects contamination, overfilled containers, and material composition issues using vehicle-mounted cameras and machine learning.
AI-enabled inspection systems increase productivity by automatically detecting and recording issues such as overfilled containers and contaminated recycling. This reduces manual documentation for drivers and operations teams and ensures better recovery of chargeable service events.
Unlike manual recording processes which can lead to oversight or missed documentation, vehicle-mounted cameras collect images throughout the collections process so chargeable service events are always recorded. AI and machine learning is used to identify and flag issues such as container overfill which increase disposal costs and reduce margins.
Using AI, waste operators can quickly and easily identify when recycling has been incorrectly sorted. When recycling contamination does occur, it is possible to pinpoint the source and take corrective action.
AMCS provides waste and recycling operators with vital information on contamination and material composition in real time using AI-powered technology. The resulting data supports cleaner recycling streams, better diversion rates, and improved compliance reporting, helping you make more informed decisions around sustainability.
