"Contaminants in biowaste, especially plastics, cause high costs and make recycling time-consuming or even impossible," explains c-trace GmbH sales engineer Jan Birkhold. Therefore, the company developed the c-detect computer vision system, which combines the system house's intelligent software with extremely robust (IP65/67) and powerful uEye FA industrial cameras from IDS. This allows to view the contents of the organic waste bins using either "TopView" or "InsideView" 💡 Preserving resources is not just about recycling, but also about innovative approaches to the collection of waste and its subsequent optimal disposal or processing. One of the most important components of #SmartCities is therefore the introduction of efficient waste collection systems. We explain how this works in our case study, which you can access via the link below. Our #KnowledgeBase offers you insights into even more interesting cases, from picking applications to quality control. #MachineVision #Automation #KnowHow #IDShasVision

NIR test programme reveals factors influencing sorting flexible packaging materials Great to see the results of the first in a series of testing programmes that we are co-funding to provide independent, scientific data on the design, sortability and mechanical recyclability of flexible packaging: see more detail here https://bit.ly/4852jsx This CEFLEX -A Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging-led testing clarifies exactly how a NIR sorting device sees flexible packaging, understands a range of material structures, and classifies them into different recycling streams. Understanding and optimising the capability of this established sorting technology is an important step in the drive to recycle more of these materials and we look forward to seeing the results from further work on other sorting and recycling techniques next year. #MissionCircular #CircularEconomy #SustainablePackaging

The unique combination of colour and #hyperspectral #imaging near-infrared sensors enables new sorting applications. In order to be able to cost effectively operate their facility and sort type and colour of plastic fractions and the separation of silicone cartridges reaching over 97% purities, RE Plano has implemented an AI-based sorting technology incorporating highly integrated processes. The AI-based Steinert technology Intelligent Object.Identifier combines colour sensor and near-infrared sensor (NIR) with hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology. It is a unique combination that will not only enable a flexible response to future requirements, but also opens up new opportunities for additional sorting tasks that were previously not possible using conventional processes. The Living Optics hyperspectral imaging camera is being developed with the aim of helping distinguish between recycled plastics and non-recycled items. https://lnkd.in/d4g2PVtt RECYCLING magazin ; #hyperspectralimaging

We’re excited to share our latest small cell battery sorting solution “Batteray” Case Study. Engaging with recycling clients in the UK, EU, USA, and Australia, Batteray demonstrates its prowess in sorting batteries, resulting in a significant double-digit increase in revenue and profit. Case Study research: https://lnkd.in/gyi_qWvK Our battery type table has evolved to include the Li-Primary group, encompassing Li-MnO2, Li-SOCl2, and Li-FeS2. This enhancement optimizes sorting accuracy. In contrast to manual pre-sorting, which is both dirty and inaccurate, our solution brings about substantial cost savings. Labels are often absent, and counterfeit cells pose a challenge, making manual sorting impractical. Utilizing X-ray technology, our solution delves inside cells, establishing physical and chemical composition by comparing them to an AI-driven library of over 1000k stored X-ray images. Sorting occurs at an impressive rate of up to 12 cells per second, translating to 350kg to 400kg per hour. We’re pleased to report purities exceeding 99.5%, marking a game-changing performance with less than 0.5% unrecognized, elevating the efficiency for our users. #BatteryRecycling #sustainability #innovation #technologies #technologysolutions
