Following an industrial collaboration between Waste Robotics (Canada) and 3WAYSTE (France) that achieved a breakthrough in household waste sorting, Waste Robotics is pleased to announce its participation in the IFAT fair from May 13 to 17, 2024. During this event, a preview presentation will be made of 3WAYSTE's application of Waste Robotics' revolutionary technology at ALTRIOM 2.0, its Multi-stream Industrial Waste Sorting Center in Polignac (France). The success of this collaboration demonstrates the relevance of using sorting robots equipped with cutting-edge technologies, such as hyperspectral sensors, which can distinguish different types of materials that the human eye cannot identify, to globally improve sorting and recycling performance.
To attest to this joint success, Hugo SIMME, Site Manager of ALTRIOM 2.0, is featured in a video in which he shares his experience with the innovations and services of Waste Robotics and describes how robotic arms have significantly enhanced the quality control process of sorted materials.
These advanced technologies have enabled ALTRIOM 2.0 to meet complex challenges in waste sorting, whether from separate collection or mixed collection. The combination of a hyperspectral system and artificial intelligence for enhanced material detection allows ALTRIOM 2.0 to increase the quality of sorted materials, thereby enhancing their marketability and recycling efficiency. The solution proposed by Waste Robotics addresses several challenges of modern sorting centers: the ability to sort a diverse and evolving waste stream in composition, increased productivity, data acquisition, optimization of line maintenance, and operator comfort.
The collaboration between Waste Robotics and 3WAYSTE exemplifies the full potential of technological innovation in the recycling sector and demonstrates that these technologies are now mature and ready for large-scale deployment. Their combined technologies and know-how are part of a shared commitment to globally improve waste management towards more intelligence and sustainability, ultimately placing these materials at the heart of the circular economy.
We invite you to visit Waste Robotics at booth B5.511 at IFAT to learn more about the project and the companies.
