Capstone Project

Telebrick

Problem

A LEED certified building requires the separation of construction recycling waste. Foremen, who are responsible for waste management, monitor the purity of the dumpsters and dispatch a truck to the site daily. However, this method may lead to inaccuracies in tracking and potential workflow bottlenecks if the dumpsters are not removed at the appropriate time

Approach

The team narrowed down the scope of the challenge area through secondary research and understood the problems by conducting user research with 5 users. The team then created prototypes and conducted user evaluations to iteratively improve their design.

Solution

TeleBrick uses Groundlight AI to analyze images from an on-site IoT camera mounted above the waste bin. Foremen can use this to address contamination at the source and plan for contamination management, incentive compliance, and schedule waste pick-ups efficiently.
