Industrial areas scored as waste transfer station sites.
What it does
Every year: industrial areas in your region with the most people living within 8 km, scored by xMap AI as transfer station sites, with a site memo for the board.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Bucharest, find industrial areas and business parks in the area, count who lives around, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 5, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A transfer station must be on industrial land near the people it serves. This scores candidate sites.
