Hyperspectral imaging reducing textile waste

Based on hyperspectral cameras from the Finnish manufacturer Specim, Researchers from Wageningen University & Research (WUR) have developed a smart All-in-one Spectral Imaging (ASI) laboratory system for standardized, automated data acquisition and real-time spectral model deployment. A fully standalone system integrated with two different hyperspectral cameras working i...

Traditional methods of waste separation are heavy, power consuming, and require crushing of waste which makes material identification and further processing difficult and expensive. Initial investment of a waste processing plant is very high and requires centralization. Processes are not easily adaptable to waste stream changes. ZenRobotics is the leading supplier of rob...

Prodecologia developed a sorting machine based on Specim technology that achieves 98% polymer purity. Specim’s hyperspectral imaging was used to create Prodecologia’s near-infrared (NIR) separator, a tool that identifies, sorts, and separates different types of polymers — resulting in a more efficient and effective polymer recycling process.
