Materials and Testing
Superhydrophobic plastic through microstructuring
We improve the properties of the plastic and achieve a 160º contact angle with water without modifying the production process or adding coatings.
Waste Sorting
Go one step further in automatic waste sorting thanks to AI and machine vision.
The AI and Computer Vision: Allies in Automatic Waste Sorting
Waste management, and in particular waste sorting, is one of the biggest problems in today’s society. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage all the waste and rubbish generated in both urban and industrial areas.
Before any waste can be recycled, separation and sorting processes must be carried out, and this is where AI and machine vision become very useful tools for the automation and optimisation of these processes. An optimised sorting process can be applied to all types of waste and increases the amount of potentially recyclable waste, thereby reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill.
At ATRIA we apply this technology to develop sorting algorithms that can act at different stages of the separation and sorting process.
Technology adapted to every need
1
We analyse and characterise the waste and the process.
In order to design a suitable waste management facility, it is important to analyse the type of waste to be managed. To do this, we analyse parameters such as geometry, weight or the environment in which it is located, which allows us to optimise the design of the facility and guarantee its efficiency.
2
Design of the data acquisition solution.
We design customised solutions for each client, taking into account the specific needs of their working environment and the type of material they manage. To this end, we carry out a preliminary analysis of the situation and collect real information and data on waste and materials.
3
We developed the application.
We use open source software to develop our waste sorting algorithms. This allows us to be more flexible and adapt to the needs of our customers. In addition, we work offline in order to interfere as little as possible in the process.
Applications
Automated bulky plastic waste sorting system
To make recovery more efficient, we need to improve the automated sorting of bulky waste. One way to do this is to separate it from the regular collection system.
Characterisation of building materials
The analysis of materials and construction waste is a technique that allows us to identify the different types of materials. We do this by means of cameras and sensors.
Waste sorting system
With the help of waste identification, we can automatically sort the waste in order to recover, if possible, each individual waste in the most appropriate way.
