New approach to container identification – PLUM

We have launched an innovative container identification system that significantly improves logistics and operational processes in waste management.

PLUM

The PLUM system uses advanced image analysis powered by artificial intelligence and operates through our state-of-the-art VideoBox camera module. This technology quickly and accurately reads the unique codes assigned to each container, enabling seamless automation and reliable identification.

 

Key functionalities:

 

  • Container presence detection: The system instantly detects containers in the camera’s field of view and automates subsequent operations.
  • Container identification: The system reads unique codes and assigns them to specific containers for precise recognition.

 

Advantages of the solution:

 

  • Resistance to dirt: The codes’ characteristic shape allows accurate reading even when partially contaminated, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.
  • Versatility of use: Codes can be applied to various containers, including standard waste bins, oil drums, or other waste logistics containers.
  • Easy integration: The system integrates seamlessly with existing solutions, enhancing automation and operational efficiency.
  • Speed of operation: Using the ICHI System software, the identification and management of containers are fast and highly efficient.
