Every user, every disposal


Genius opens with a smart key or app and recognizes each user. A volumetric sensor measures every disposal, which is then analyzed remotely by a control center and linked to the specific user, supporting a data-driven service.

Live status at a glance


Real-time data transmission shows the status of each container, from fill level to reports of malfunctions and tampering. This visibility supports cleaner collection points and more effective maintenance activities.

Collection, optimized


Integrated into the Easy bilateral system, Genius provides the data to manage collection vehicles based on fill levels, traffic and external conditions. Optimized routes help reduce collection-related traffic, pollution and emissions.

More cleanliness. More recycling. Less pollution. Less traffic. Less CO2.

Technology that becomes sustainability

Genius turns every disposal into data, and that data into a better service. The result is felt by citizens on the street and by the environment around them.

Genius opens with a smart key or app, so every disposal is linked to a user. This enables targeted controls against improper deposits and incentives that reward the most virtuous users, encouraging better sorting.

Cleaner collection points

A volumetric sensor measures every disposal, which is then analyzed remotely by a control center. Service providers know exactly how much waste is collected, container by container.

Real-time data on fill levels, temperature, deposited waste, malfunctions and tampering supports optimized collection routes, more effective maintenance and cleaner collection points.

Routes that follow the data

Collection vehicles adapt their routes based on fill levels, traffic conditions and even the weather, optimizing every collection cycle.

Fewer truck passes mean less collection-related traffic, lower costs and lower emissions in the city.

Genius combines cloud technology and artificial intelligence in an ecosystem designed to deliver more efficient services while reducing costs and emissions. Integrated into the Easy bilateral system, it is lifted, emptied and repositioned in a fully automated process managed by a single operator from the cab, while its data guides each collection cycle.
