    摘要: A bin sorter for sorting lumber is provided. The bin sorter includes a plurality of bins disposed in a side-by-side configuration. Each bin includes a pair of spaced-apart walls defining a compartment therebetween for receiving lumber. Each compartment has a compartment inlet provided at a top end thereof, and a compartment outlet provided at a bottom end thereof. At least one of the plurality of bins has a support assembly for supporting one or more piles of lumber within the compartment. The support assembly includes a pair of support members having a support base vertically displaceable between the top and bottom ends of the compartment and a support arm connected to the support base and extending within the compartment towards the other support arm. Each support arm is adapted to support a respective pile of lumber or cooperate with one another to support a single pile of lumber.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for identifying and/or sorting objects, in particular for recycling materials, comprising the steps of: Linking at least one first object type to object identity information via a reference object type property uniquely identifying the first object type; performing at least one learning phase for teaching at least one KI algorithm, the learning phase comprising analyzing at least one object having the reference object type property for an object property; establishing a correlation between the object identity information and the at least one object property, the correlation comprising associating the at least one analyzed object with the first object type; analyzing at least one object for at least one object property; and calculating an object identity of the object to the first object type using the at least one KI algorithm. The invention further relates to a system for identifying and/or sorting objects based on artificial intelligence technologies.

    摘要: The present invention discloses an automated waste sorter (100) for sorting/segregating one or more categories of materials from a mixed waste stream. The automated waste sorter (100) includes a primary conveyor belt (110), an encoder (170), one or more sensors (131), a vision system (130) and an ejection means (150). The primary conveyor belt (110) moves the mixed waste stream at a predefined speed. The vision system (130) is trained to analyze the frame to identify, classify and locate one or more classified waste material using at least one of a plurality of identity parameters and/or a plurality of other parameters. The ejection means (150) includes one or more manifolds to eject the one or more classified waste material based on the one or more coordinates communicated by the vision system (130). A method to operate the automated waste sorter (100) is also disclosed.

    摘要: An automated belt-based diverter system is described in some implementations. In an example implementation, the system may include a belt, which includes a closed loop of material, coupled with a pulley and a motor that provides motive force to the belt, for example, using the pulley. In some implementations, one or more diverter arms may be coupled with the belt. A diverter arm may include a body with a first arm end, a second arm end, and a pushing surface. A diverter arm may be coupled at the first end with the belt so that the second end extends away from the belt and the pushing surface may contact an object to push the item. The system may also include a controller coupled with the motor to rotate the belt in defined directions or distances based on instructions.
