28 Mar 2024 --- Tomra’s Recycling business unit has unveiled a trio of “breakthrough” applications designed to separate food-grade plastics from non-food-grade counterparts for PET, PP and HDPE. The “groundbreaking” achievement, proclaimed as an industry first, results from R&D leveraging deep learning, a subset of AI. Tomra’s solution, powered by its proprietary deep learning-based “GAINnext” technology, enhances the sorting capabilities of its Autosort units, enabling swift and efficient differentiation on a large scale. The company combined its traditional near-infrared, visual spectrometry or other sensors with deep learning technology to develop the “most accurate solution available on the market today.”
