The bags clear the fence and end up on the neighbor’s sidewalk
A windy morning at the north fence. A metal dumpster filled to the brim and left uncovered is shedding bags and film, which clear the chain-link fence and land on the other side. The sidewalk and the gutter are carpeted with plastic right up to the curb, and a car and a van are going past on the road. Inside, the stacked bales and a forklift carry on working. IRIS sees light waste leaving the site toward the public road.

What IRIS understands
What it recognizes in this scene
- waste piled up on the sidewalk and gutter
- stretch of perimeter fence
- bags in the air before clearing the fence
- dumpster filled to the brim and uncovered
- public road on the other side of the fence
What this camera measures
An alert says something’s happening. The reading says how much.
- 9Pieces in the air right now
- 54Pieces that crossed the fence in the last hour
- 68Pieces counted outside the site
- 2Dumpsters left open and uncovered
- 09:20Time of the alert
The figures on this screen are an example from the illustration, not any client’s measurement.
The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
light waste crosses the perimeter fence toward the public road
Then
- alert the plant supervisor with the camera, the time and the stretch of fence
- save the video of the dumpster the bags are coming out of
- add the pieces to the daily count of waste leaving the site
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if plastics start blowing over the fence toward the street.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Windy morning, and the neighbor across the road is already taking photos from the sidewalk. This isn’t a broom problem. The plastic that blows out ends up in his complaint, in the city’s letter and, when the environmental permit comes up for renewal, in the file somebody opens to decide. Every bag outside is a line in that file. Counting how many cross the fence, at what time and with which dumpster left open turns a vague accusation into data, and lets you show that the number is going down.
What people usually ask
Isn’t this just a cleaning problem?
No. A dirty sidewalk gets swept; a sidewalk dirty every week gets reported. The plastics that leave the plant reach the neighbors, social media and the city, and from there the file that gets read when the permit is renewed. That’s why the camera doesn’t watch the ground inside: it watches the fence line, which is where the problem stops being yours and becomes everybody’s.
Can it really count how many pieces get out?
Yes, and it’s a different job from raising alerts. To count, you draw a line over the fence and the camera counts what crosses it, hour by hour and day by day. Asking is for finding; counting is for measuring, and they aren’t done the same way: you can’t describe a line with a sentence, you have to draw it. That figure is repeatable, and it serves both for the conversation with the city and for knowing which dumpster to cover first.
Can it tell a bag from a leaf or a bird?
Yes, in most cases, from the way it moves and how it looks, and whatever slips through is tuned with the rule. A windy day full of leaves doesn’t have to fill the shift with alerts: the plant decides how many pieces per minute make it an alert and which stretches of fence the camera watches. IRIS doesn’t write that rule; the people who know the site do.

How long does it take to find a hand played two hours ago?
12 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 3 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.

And the best part
Nobody was hired to stare at a screen.They were hired to know what to do.
Watching is what a machine does best; deciding is what only a person does. IRIS watches all four thousand at once and hands over only what calls for a decision.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
