Camenai's solution is exactly suitable for this: quickly identifying unwanted issues and integrating them into the customer's daily processes. That is why a project started in 2024 where three vehicles, two from Irado and one from Supervision & Enforcement of the Municipality of Schiedam, are equipped with Camenai cameras. These vehicles continue to drive their usual routes but now also record thousands of images per day, where algorithms then signal additions. Herbert Dikken, department manager at Irado, explains: “The cameras were installed by Camenai in three vehicles, but we can easily exchange them ourselves between other vehicles, for example if one is at the garage. We were quickly surprised how well the algorithms recognize the additions, so we have much more insight into problem locations without making our planner's work more difficult.”

The next step was to integrate with the planning: Irado receives reports of additions via various channels, which must then be addressed as quickly as possible. This was previously a passive process, where Irado depends on the processing time of resident reports by the municipality or on employees who happened to see an addition while working. By actively looking for additional positions himself, Irado is more in control and improves services for its residents and the municipality.
