Green Machine's patented Green Eye Optical Sorters are built with state-of-the-art hyperspectral and newly released artificially intelligent driven vision systems, both built and programmed entirely in-house.
Green Eye HYPTM identifies material by spectral signature, or in other words, chemical composition. Every type of material has a unique spectral signature that enables the vision system to identify materials based on absorption of light at different wavelengths.
This is useful where materials are deformed and not clearly identifiable, as well as sorting materials by commodity subtypes. Examples are sorting plastics by polymer type and sorting paper and cardboard by fiber type i.e. office paper vs newsprint and kraft board vs OCC.
Green Eye AiTM identifies materials by visual characteristics like shape, size, color and structure, just like the human eye. This is useful for complex multi-material applications, as well as dirty or wet material streams. For example, an Ai vision system will recognize aluminum and plastic bottles with paper labels as containers, resulting in a cleaner fiber stream and greater collection rates of those higher value containers downstream.
Green Eye Ai has dual-sort capability, making it possible to sort multiple commodities with a single unit. The Ai system is able to provide individual commodity counts, making it possible to record real-time processing data. Also, because the camera system doesn't need to be temperature controlled like traditional spectral sorters, the system can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from 10 degrees to 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
Existing Green Eye HYP units can be upgraded to Ai.
