The Tamarin Company designed TinTracker as an IOT solution for a Smart City Waste Management System. A preliminary idea for this was entered into The World Bank Group Youth Conference Contest, where we placed to 100 of more than 900 proposals received.
Using the comments provided by the WBG we transformed our project to design a smart sensor that could fit any garbage tin, rather than creating a new tin from scratch. This allowed us to reduce costs significantly.
After the prototype was completed and tested, we contacted Panama's Government Innovation Agency (GIA) in Panama City to try out the product in the real world. GIA is interested in doing a live testing of TinTracker at their headquarters to see possibilities for implementation in hospitals.
With the funds covered by this award, we plan to install 10 sensors at GIA and start data recollection and model testing for the provision of effective recollection routes.
Though this project focuses on smart sensing, there is room for implementation in hospitals where great amounts of data is collected and there is a possibility for the implementation of AI technology.
