A new artificial intelligence (AI) driven camera for waste collection vehicles, the first of its kind in the region, is set to make waste disposal easier and cities cleaner, said BEEAH Tandeef, the company behind the device’s introduction.
BEEAH Tandeef, the waste collection and city cleaning vertical of the BEEAH Group, has introduced the new AI City Vision camera system, which processes images and videos captured by 360-degree external cameras with exceptional accuracy.
“By recognising conditions such as waste bin status, overflowing waste and road cleanliness, this AI-driven technology streamlines waste management, leading to significant time savings and smarter asset management,” said a statement from BEEAH Tandeef.
Explaining how the camera system works, it said overflowing bins are logged into a portal, optimising waste collection and cleansing routes. Integration with existing waste management systems demonstrates a “significant stride towards cleaner cities, fostering a sustainable and circular economy”, Tandeef added. The new AI City Vision will be available as a dedicated service to clients.
Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of BEEAH Group, said: “For years, BEEAH Tandeef has demonstrated a tradition of innovation that sets it apart as an industry leader. Our unwavering commitment to research and development has driven transformative initiatives in waste management practices, ranging from pioneering waste segregation methods to implementing sophisticated recycling technologies. BEEAH Tandeef’s consistent drive for innovation has earned it the reputation as the most innovative waste management company in the UAE and the region. We are fully committed to aligning our solutions with the UAE’s sustainability roadmap, fostering a cleaner environment, and driving economic prosperity through technological excellence.”

Alongside the AI City Vision system, BEEAH Tandeef has also introduced additional innovative solutions, such as a Facial Recognition Bus Attendance system, with which the company says its workforce transportation buses are transforming labour management within the industry. This system ensures seamless, accurate and timely attendance records while reducing administrative burdens, according to BEEAH.
Also, the company’s Smart Bracelet, an IoT-enabled device designed for its dedicated labourers, is equipped with real-time tracking and safety assurance mechanisms to track the safety and welfare of its workforce.
Rafael Lopez, Chief Executive Officer of BEEAH Tandeef, said: “As the UAE aspires to become a global hub for innovation and a model for sustainable development, BEEAH Tandeef takes a leading role in the waste management sector by introducing cutting-edge technologies that prioritise sustainability, efficiency, and safety.
