■ Use Cases
Sorting e-waste: Unlock the hidden value in every gram.
Anyone who merely roughly shreds and separates e-waste these days is leaving money on the table in the sorting residue. Our AI recognises valuable components such as circuit boards, copper windings and batteries on the conveyor belt and sorts them out specifically.
The pitfall: mixed scrap eats into your profit margin.
In many plants, valuable individual parts get lost in large volumes of mixed scrap because they cannot be identified in time using technical means. This is not a technical problem, but a financial loss.
Lost margins: Every printed circuit board that ends up in the sorting residue loses its status as a high-value raw material and becomes waste.
Manual risk: Manual sorting on the conveyor belt is the bottleneck that limits your profits given today’s throughput volumes.
Wear and tear vs. precision: Conventional mechanical sorters are often too coarse to extract delicate but high-value components from the material stream.
Customer requirements: Only those who can consistently supply single-grade material will receive the best price from the end user (smelters/specialist recyclers).
“The value of electronic waste lies not in the volume, but in the purity of the separated fractions. Those who automate the sorting process stop giving away raw materials and start generating real profit margins.”
Johannes Laier, co-founder and co-CEO at WeSort.AI
The principle is simple: you define the fraction that maximises your profit – Vision.Sort delivers the purity required to market it as a high-quality raw material.
Vision.Sort turns waste into raw materials.
We have developed Vision.Sort to replace manual sorting and radically boost your efficiency. Using AI, the system identifies valuable components in milliseconds and blows them out with pinpoint accuracy through the 5 mm valve grid.
Here are some of the items Vision.Sort can sort for your business:
-
Printed circuit boards (PCBs)
-
Copper anchors
-
Cables
-
Battery types
-
Special fractions
Vision.Sort: Operational facts
Vision.Sort is a stand-alone sorting system that is integrated into your processing line as a compact unit. The material passes through our system, is analysed in milliseconds and sorted with precision via the valve grid.
