Ficha

Ficha is a company specializing in the development of artificial intelligence and computer vision models for waste management.

Waste management is grappling with challenges related to the quality and quantity of collected and recycled waste. High error rates lead to additional costs for communities and waste management operators. These stakeholders lack traceability to pinpoint the sources of errors and implement appropriate actions (communication, fees, etc.) to address the issue.

Ficha introduces sensors that integrate artificial intelligence and video processing technologies, installed on both bins and trucks. This innovation enables the detection of 21 categories of waste, from recyclable to non-recyclable items.

The ‘Cocon’ sensor is installed on existing bins and identifies the quality and quantity of waste disposed of by each user. Based on this analysis, we provide feedback to users and reward their sorting efforts through our Ficha mobile app. Comprehensive data is accessible to our clients. This solution achieves a sorting accuracy of over 95% and doubles the amount of recyclable waste collected.

The Camia solution employs a similar technology, integrating sensors to detect errors in each bin collected by garbage trucks. Our clients gain access to the data, enabling them to identify error sources within their territories and collection routes and implement specific actions to rectify them. This solution has successfully reduced sorting errors by 20% in our clients’ territories.

With over 20 clients in France, we are now seeking our first European partner.
