The smart, secure public collection system to return and recycle small digital healthcare device

Caption

A secure machine for returning and recycling small digital healthcare device. Users return devices by scanning a QR code unlocking the collection hatch to deposit the item. Each return is captured by the inside camera, identified through the image recognition system, and registered, creating a traceable record.

DiCE successfully deployed 25 easily accessible pilot program machines in pharmacies, public buildings, supermarkets, and care facilities  in Belgium, Spain, and Slovenia.
