Case: Recycling Sorting
Hostile conditions and highly variable material.
Case outline
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Process | Picking and sorting mixed material streams |
| Problem | Hazardous manual work and inconsistent recovery |
| Approach | Robot with vision recognition and rugged tooling |
| Outcome | Higher recovery with less manual sorting |
Implementation notes
- Recognition accuracy decides the economic case more than robot speed.
- Dust, moisture and temperature drive equipment protection choices.
- Maintenance access matters; the environment wears everything faster.
Sorting performance depends on the material stream. Pilot with representative material before scaling.
