How it works

How Swachathe works.

One device inside a vehicle, what it does with the video in seconds, and the five steps from spotting a pile to proof it's cleared.

One device. Four parts working together.

It sits inside a vehicle and does the looking, so nothing waits for a complaint.

Dedicated camera

Films the roadside continuously as the vehicle moves.

Wide-angle capture sees the whole kerb, and motion-blur correction keeps every frame sharp, even at speed and in harsh light.

AI computer

Watches the video right there on the vehicle and spots garbage.

Detections happen in real time, on the device. Nothing waits to be uploaded and checked later.

IoT sensors

Keep the device powered and connected.

A fast data link sends detections the moment they're made, and battery management keeps the kit running all shift.

GPS & storage

Records exactly where every pile is.

Every issue is logged by its address on the map, road to road, across thousands of images.

From video to the city's screen, in seconds.

All of this runs on the device, in real time, while the vehicle is still moving. The city sees every vehicle, live.

The same ward, street by street.

A camera on a moving vehicle covers the same ward, street by street, on a regular cycle.
