NRT SpydIR with Max-AI - Integrated Optical Sorter System

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 artificial intelligence (AI) to identify materials similar to the way a person does. The NRT SpydIR with Max-AI optical sorter employs both detection technologies to add another layer of intelligence to NRT’s high volume sorting solution. 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.
