SpydIR - Optical Sorter Integrates with Max-AI - Brochure

This optical sorter integrates SpydIR® technology and Max-AI® technology to create a revolutionary new sorter with unmatched detection abilities. NRT’s SpydIR technology uses near infrared light (NIR) detection to identify plastics, paper, wood and other materials by material type. Max-AI technology employs a camera and neural network based artificial intelligence (AI) to identify recyclables similar to the way a person does. Max’s person-like identification decisions is an additional layer of intelligence that, when added to the SpydIR-R sorter’s highly accurate and high volume NIR sorting, creates new capabilities. The result is new capabilities – for example, NRT SpydIR® detection can quickly and reliably identify fiber, PET or numerous other materials, but Max-AI can identify if that fiber is on a tin can or if it’s cardboard, and if PET is an undesirable tray or if HDPE is food grade.
