The number of devices in circulation with batteries or accumulators has massively increased in recent years. Recycling plant operators are also feeling this impact. In fact, improperly disposed batteries and accumulators often end up in shredders or other elements of a processing operation, which can become a dangerous source of fire.
Foreign body detection using waste flow
To address this risk, WasteFlow's AI camera systems offer the ability to classify the material flow. In addition to evaluating the material flow for quality monitoring, any hazardous objects such as batteries and accumulators can also be trained and detected, allowing them to be automatically identified as such. If such an object appears in the material flow, a signal is sent to the plant control system. This gives employees the opportunity to intervene before the foreign object becomes a danger.
Hazard detection features
Battery detection
Classic disruptive elements such as batteries or rechargeable batteries from electrical devices can be identified by AI.
Interference element detection
Based on your application, additional specific disturbance elements can be trained. Parameters such as mass, dimensions or material category can be defined as signal triggers.
