Automated sorting robot for material recovery facilities

In material recovery facilities, maintaining a high purity level of waste streams and efficiently recovering valuable materials are critical challenges. Traditional methods often struggle to keep up with the diverse and complex nature of waste compositions, necessitating advanced solutions for optimal performance.

Automates sorting tasks using Ai-guided vision system

The RoBB is an intelligent and automated sorting robot fully developed by Bollegraaf. It uses an AI-guided vision system built around optical sensors such as NIR (near infrared), RGB, and height cameras to identify and classify items based on material composition, shape, and color. The robot’s cognitive computing process relies on deep learning networks that continually improve its sorting accuracy. A strong and robust robotic arm with an advanced air system and patented suction gripper performs real-time object classification and actuation. Designed with modularity in mind, the RoBB can easily be installed in existing sorting lines and tailored to various belt widths. It significantly reduces operational expenses by minimizing the need for human intervention. Ideal for diverse waste streams including plastic, paper, and municipal solid waste, the RoBB ensures high performance, consistency, and profitability in material recovery facilities.
