Smart waste management with AI: real-time impurity detection in organic waste
Discover how AI-powered technology is transforming organic waste collection. This video introduces c-detect, the first real-time AI (Artificial Intelligence) system for detecting contaminants in bio-waste, developed by c-trace GmbH. Learn how rugged IDS cameras and advanced algorithms ensure cleaner recycling and reduce costly processing errors.
We’ll show you how the system works on waste collection trucks, using industrial cameras, edge computing, and object detection to identify impurities instantly. You’ll also see how automated data transfer, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and telematics enable cities and operators to improve sorting behaviour, cut costs, and achieve 100% quality control.
