Wasoria Box Embedded AI that analyzes your waste streams in real time

Step 1/6 · Detection

See, recognize, track

Under the gantry, every item is spotted, identified and tracked: PET bottle, cardboard, can… The analysis runs in real time, on the moving flow.

Step 2/6 · Sensors

Two complementary sensors

The high-resolution RGB camera distinguishes shapes, colors and materials. The thermal sensor completes this reading by observing the heat given off by the items.

Illustrative sensor positions and fields of view.

Step 3/6 · Thermal

Detecting hot spots on the conveyor

The thermal view brings out items that are hotter than the rest of the flow, such as a damaged battery: a valuable clue for preventing fires.

Illustrative false colors: no measured temperature.

Step 4/6 · Embedded analysis

Analysis inside the Box

Images are analyzed directly inside the unit, right next to the sensors, for real-time decisions. The results are then sent to Wasoria Pilot.

Illustrative internal electronics.

Step 5/6 · Maintenance

Direct access to the module

Mounted on slide rails, the Wasoria Box slides out sideways from the gantry for easier maintenance. Robust and sealed, it is built to work in the dust of sorting centers.

Step 6/6 · Alert

Making the risk visible

When a dangerous item such as a battery is detected, the light bands of the Box turn red and the alert is sent to Wasoria Pilot: teams can react immediately.

Step 1/6 · Incoming flows

Measuring what enters the center

At the trommel outputs, one gantry on each branch characterizes the incoming flows, before the separation steps.

• Quantify incoming material, branch by branch.
• Track how its composition changes.
• Get a baseline to analyze how the center performs.

Step 2/6 · Equipment

Analyzing equipment continuously

Around a piece of sorting equipment, one gantry measures the input while two others watch the outputs: the extracted material and the residual flow.

• Compare before and after to track its performance.
• Fine-tune settings from immediate feedback.
• Spot anomalies and dangerous items, and trigger the right response.

Step 3/6 · Manual sorting

Guiding and organizing the teams

Before the quality-control sorting tables, the gantries analyze the flow composition to guide the sorters' work.

• Adapt instructions to the observed composition and the target purity.
• Quantify the sorting workload, in picks per minute.
• Allocate teams according to each line's needs.

Step 4/6 · Before storage

Knowing the quality of each flow

After the tables, just before the storage bays, the gantries characterize the material about to be stored.

• Know the composition of each flow before storage.
• Compare upstream and downstream of manual sorting.
• Track the purity achieved for each material.

Step 5/6 · Steel press

Removing risky items before compaction

Upstream of the steel baling press, the gantry spots incompressible or dangerous items. Where the conveyor drops, a bypass diverts them to a separate bin.

• Spot items that cannot be pressed.
• Trigger the bypass flap as the item goes by.
• Reduce the risk of fire, explosion and equipment damage.

Step 6/6 · Baler

Checking purity before baling

On the conveyor feeding the baler, the gantry analyzes the material just before it is pressed.

• Measure material purity live.
• Adapt baling recipes to the detected material.
• Detect dangerous items before the press.
