Optical sorter MAX-AI

Max-AI® technology is ushering in a new age of MRF automation and intelligence. Max-AI® technology is ushering in a new age of MRF automation and intelligence. From robotic sorting to real-time material identification, this technology is powering real solutions that deliver powerful results. Max can see, think and act. Through deep learning, Max employs both multi-layered neural networks and a vision system to see and identify objects similar to the way a person does. Max can identify almost any material on a conveyor belt in real time. It’s an incredible leap forward for an industry that has been reliant on expensive sensors to identify materials in a way that is far more limited than the identification and decision-making abilities of Max. It’s the beginning of a new era of industrial automation. Max-AI AQC sorters are the ultimate in post-sort automation. When combined with NRT optical sorters, the container sorting process is 100% autonomous and the need for human contact with waste is eliminated. The AQC exceeds human performance in every metric: speed, accuracy, consistency, safety, & cost for a fast return on investment. The AQC makes multiple sorting decisions autonomously; for example, separating thermoform trays, aluminum, 3D fiber and residue from a stream of optically-sorted PET bottles. All of this is done at rates exceeding human capabilities and each pick is prioritized for profitability. Max-AI AQC sorters provide MRF operators with sustained and consistent sorting performance while improving facility safety, recovery, product quality and operational expenses.
