Battery Sorting

IVAR is a leading waste management company in Norway, specializing in waste sorting and recycling. Challenge Sorting and removing batteries from mixed waste on a conveyor belt is a critical but difficult task. Batteries pose both fire and environmental hazards if they remain in the waste stream, but manual sorting is highly labor-intensive, repetitive, and prone to error. Human operators must stay alert for long periods to identify small batteries of different shapes, colors, and sizes mixed among a large volume of waste, increasing the risk of missed items.

Workers usually perform this task manually, relying on their ability to identify and separate the colored bags containing waste.

Challenge In waste management, it is crucial to sort out specific green bags containing bio waste from other types of waste in a waste loading area. This task is usually performed manually by workers who need to identify and separate the green bags containing bio waste from other bags. Failure to do so can lead to environmental issues, health hazards, and increased costs of waste management. Solution To overcome this challenge, we installed a 3D color camera above the waste loading area to capture images of the waste bags.
