Smart Cardboard Sorting System – Hørve Project

Shark Components is a major distributor of recycling containers across the country. They have shown significant interest and expect the product to save substantial money and time by eliminating the need to resort compressed cardboard and remove wrongly placed non-cardboard materials.

1. Shark Components reach out to ATE

Initial conversation explaining ATE’s Recycle Camera technology in depth

2. Pricing and potential gain calculation

Agreeing on contract terms, responsibilities, quantities, and pricing

3. Setting up the first camera

Installing WiFi connectivity and drilling mounting holes in the container for optimal camera placement

4. Calibrating and Testing

Ensuring the camera works as intended, with alarm settings added and adjusted during this phase

5. AI learning phase

5. We determined that the camera’s chosen position allows room for image recognition improvement, so we’re preparing an additional machine learning training session

How It Works

ATE’s Recycle Camera is positioned to monitor everything thrown into the container. Within a second, it can scan materials and trigger an alarm if non-cardboard items are detected. The camera’s image recognition improves over time using Neural Networks (AI), becoming so precise it can detect even small items like a ballpoint pen.

Smart Detection

  • Camera scans everything thrown into the container
  • AI instantly recognizes cardboard vs. non-cardboard materials
  • Audio alert warns users when wrong items are detected
  • Compression system automatically stops until contamination is removed

Easy Control & Monitoring

  • Simple web interface for system calibration (accessible via LAN and internt)
  • Automatic process shutdown when contamination is detected
  • Both digital and physical reset options
  • Mobile app notifications through REST API
  • Remote monitoring for facility managers

Continuous Learning

The AI system uses machine learning to get smarter over time. It adapts to different lighting conditions and improves accuracy through real-world data, ensuring better performance as it operates.

Shark Components Camera Promotion

We held a demonstration event in collaboration with the Director’s birthday celebration. ATE’s Recycle Camera was showcased to the public and potential buyers.

Shark Components and ATE Ongoing Partnership

This technology represents a major step forward in automated waste management. We expect computer vision solutions like this to become standard across many industries and ATE is positioned to bee in this transformation. Together with Shark Components, we expect to sell hundreds of cameras. We’re excited to explore additional applications for our product.
