Dennis Eagle has launched a new AI-powered camera system to improve health and safety around refuse collection vehicles (RCVs).

The “CrewSense AI” operational behaviour system works with the RCV-manufacturer’s own Olympus body range.

The system detects operators working at the rear of the RCV and automatically responds to non-standard operating actions.

Simon McCulloch, Technical Sales Manager at Dennis Eagle, said: “CrewSense AI provides an additional layer of awareness at the rear of our vehicles, supporting crews to address at-risk behaviour to help reduce incidents.

“Developed by our specialist engineering team, the fully integrated solution provides a reliable, intuitive experience that enhances daily operations and gives greater confidence to crews.”

The system is also able to capture data using the company’s Terberg Connect diagnostics tool.

This is intended to assist fleet operators with accurate incident reporting and support fleet reviews.

Demonstrations of the system will be made available over the coming months.

It is currently available across Terberg OmniDEL and OmniDEKA bin lifts.

The new technology was launched at the Resource & Waste Management (RWM) Expo, held from 16-17 September 2026 at the NEC Birmingham.

The system captures the weight of individual bins and waste streams during collections, generating insights into material volumes, resident behaviour, and regional trends.

Able to be integrated with Terberg and Dennis Eagle bin lifts, OmniWeigh can weigh bins 80 times in just 0.5 seconds. Overweight bins can be rejected, while a cumulative weight function prevents overloading.

Terberg Matec UK also showcased its latest compact satellite RCV, the ORUS 11HD.

Developed with Simpler Recycling in mind, ORUS 11HD has a payload of 7,800kg and has a 11m3 watertight, leakproof body.

McCulloch continued: “The waste industry is under increasing pressure to improve operations, maximise efficiency, and respond to legislation; RWM Expo provides an opportunity to demonstrate how we’re helping fleet operators address some of the industry’s biggest challenges.

“CrewSense AI, OmniWeigh, and the ORUS 11HD have all been developed to deliver innovative, practical benefits that help our customers operate with greater confidence and more efficiency.”
