Integration layers WasteVision’s Service Verification, Overflow Detection, and Contamination Detection on top of Lytx’s industry-leading safety platform—extending fleet intelligence from inside the cab to the curb

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WasteVision AI, the leader in Operational AI for the waste and recycling industry, today announced a production-ready integration with Lytx, the industry pioneer of video and safety-driven efficiency. The integration enables waste haulers already using Lytx’s proven safety platform to add WasteVision’s Operational AI capabilities—Service Verification, Overflow Detection, and Contamination Detection—without replacing or disrupting their existing technology investment.

Lytx has set the industry standard for fleet safety, protecting more than 6.3 million drivers with video safety and telematics that detect harsh braking, distracted driving, following-distance violations, collisions, and other critical safety events. The WasteVision integration represents an industry-leading enhancement to that platform, extending Lytx’s intelligence beyond the cab to capture what is happening at every collection stop, inside every hopper, and across every route with WasteVision’s Operational AI.

Operational AI: From the Cab to the Curb

WasteVision’s Operational AI platform uses proprietary computer vision to analyze images captured during waste collection, delivering three core capabilities that directly impact hauler revenue and operational performance:

Service Verification — The system automatically detects and documents every collection event, matching each pickup to a specific service location and verifying that service was performed. This replaces manual driver reporting with AI-verified evidence of service execution, giving haulers proof-of-service documentation and the ability to identify missed stops in real time.

Overflow Detection — WasteVision’s AI identifies overflowing bins at the point of collection and ties each incident to the responsible waste generator by address. Verified overflow events give haulers the documentation needed to assess overflow surcharges and right-size containers—a direct revenue recovery capability that pays for the system many times over.

Contamination Detection — The platform detects unwanted materials—cardboard, plastic, glass, mattresses, yard waste, textiles, and more—in recycling and waste streams. Haulers can identify which generators are contaminating loads, enforce compliance, reduce processing costs, and improve diversion rates with photographic evidence tied to each collection event.

Deep Integration with Lytx’s Safety Platform

The Lytx-WasteVision AI integration includes vehicle rosters, fleet identifiers, device assignments, real-time and historical GPS breadcrumbs, and associated dashcam images and video clips.

This means a waste hauler can now see that a Lytx harsh-braking event occurred at a specific service location during a specific collection stop—and view Lytx dash cam footage alongside the WasteVision hopper image in the same interface. WasteVision’s peripheral and advanced safety capabilities extend Lytx’s in-cab safety coverage to the areas Lytx cameras don’t see: the hopper, the curb, and the container itself.

On-demand video retrieval is supported directly from Lytx devices, and all event media is stored in WasteVision’s unified media library for operational review, training, and evidence documentation.

“Lytx is the gold standard for fleet safety, and thousands of waste haulers already depend on their platform every day,” said Barry Saunders, Co-Founder of WasteVision AI. “Our integration doesn’t replace that investment—it amplifies it. We bring Operational AI to the parts of the collection process that safety cameras were never designed to see: overflow conditions, contamination events, and verified proof of service. Together, Lytx and WasteVision give haulers a complete picture from the driver’s seat to the waste generator’s bin.”

“At Lytx, we are committed to advancing safety and operational intelligence for fleets across the waste and recycling industry,” said Dave Riordan, Chief Customer Officer at Lytx. “The integration with WasteVision AI represents a significant step forward, allowing our customers to leverage the proven power of Lytx’s safety platform alongside WasteVision’s innovative operational capabilities.”

Customer Adoption

Waste haulers are already running the integrated WasteVision-Lytx platform in production, with vehicles streaming Lytx telematics and safety data into WasteVision’s Operational AI workflows daily. Early adopters report that the combination of Lytx’s safety intelligence with WasteVision’s Operational AI has improved visibility into both driver safety and collection operations, accelerated resolution of service exceptions, and unlocked new revenue from overflow surcharges supported by AI-verified photographic evidence.

Extending Safety Beyond the Cab

While Lytx’s platform excels at monitoring road conditions, driver behavior, and in-cab safety events, waste collection presents unique operational hazards that occur outside the cab—at the curb, at the container, and in the hopper. WasteVision’s peripheral and advanced safety capabilities address these blind spots by providing visual documentation of conditions at every service stop. When a safety event correlates with an operational exception—for example, a harsh-braking event near an overflowing container that has spilled into the roadway—the integrated platform provides the complete context that neither system could deliver alone.

About WasteVision AI

1500D aramid fiber meets a universe-inspired particle array, combining technical aesthetics with everyday protection

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AULUMU, the design-driven accessories brand known for blending futuristic aesthetics with functional engineering, introduces the ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case for iPhone Duo. Part of the brand’s Particle Series, the new case combines a lightweight 1500D aramid-fiber construction with a distinctive particle-array design, dual-screen protection, and MagSafe compatibility in a slim, technical form.

Inspired by the primordial order of the universe and tactical aesthetics, the ADuo Particle transforms a finely woven surface into a dynamic visual composition. Its precisely arranged particles create a sense of depth and structure, evoking the ubiquitous particles found throughout the universe. The result is a design that balances visual complexity with a restrained, functional aesthetic.

At the core of the ADuo Particle is 1500D aramid fiber, selected for its refined woven texture and lightweight strength. The finely woven material creates a distinctive tactile surface while maintaining a slim profile for everyday carrying. A skin-friendly coating further enhances grip and makes routine cleaning easier, bringing material refinement and practical usability together.

The ADuo Particle is available in two finishes, each interpreting the particle-array concept through a different visual language. Abyss Blue features a UV-processed gradient particle array, creating a sense of depth through a gradual shift in color. Polar Black combines glossy particles with black aramid fabric, producing a subtle interplay of light and shadow that changes with the viewing angle. Together, the two colorways offer distinct expressions of the same technical design language.

Beyond its visual identity, the ADuo Particle integrates a series of protective details designed for everyday use. A full-coverage PC protective frame surrounds the front screen, helping protect its edges and corners. An aluminum-alloy camera guard adds protection around the camera area, while raised edges around the screen and camera help reduce direct contact with surrounding surfaces. These elements complement the slim construction without adding unnecessary visual bulk.

The case also supports compatible MagSafe accessories, extending its functionality beyond basic device protection. Users can pair it with magnetic accessories, including the AULUMU G09 Mag Stand, to create a more flexible setup for everyday work, viewing, and mobile use. By combining magnetic compatibility with a refined aramid-fiber exterior, the ADuo Particle fits naturally into a technical, minimalist everyday carry setup.

The ADuo Particle reflects AULUMU’s ongoing approach to product design: bringing material innovation, functional details, and a distinctive industrial aesthetic into everyday technology accessories. Rather than treating protection and appearance as separate priorities, the case integrates both into a cohesive design built around the character of the device and the needs of daily use.

AULUMU is also developing two additional ADuo Aramid Fiber Case variations: a distinctive all-white edition and a gradient edition inspired by the visual direction of the A18 Ultra Slim Gradient Aramid Fiber Case. Release dates for both versions have yet to be determined.

Available on the AULUMU website for $89.98

What is More

AULUMU is also preparing a special limited version of ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case which is the world first All-White Aramid Fiber case. The release date for this case has not yet been determined.
