Boosting Quality & Efficiency in Waste Sorting

waste sorting
Pellenc ST, the French leader in optical sorting solutions, is launching AISEE™, an AI-based quality control analyser designed to support operators in achieving high efficiency and top-quality outputs. Unlike traditional sorters, AISEE™ focuses on monitoring, analysing, and improving the quality of recyclable fractions, while reducing material losses.

As waste streams grow increasingly complex, operators face a dual challenge: recovering as many valuable materials as possible while ensuring consistent quality. AISEE™ addresses these challenges by accelerating the commissioning of large-scale projects with Pellenc ST’s NIR optical sorters and continuously monitoring waste streams at key points in the sorting process. According to Vincent Castaignède, Director of ValcopIA, Paprec Group, “the AISEE™ is becoming a real tool for speeding up commissioning phases and aiding decisionmaking”.

The system improves the quality of sorted fractions through precise fine-tuning of optical sorter settings and reduces recyclable material losses, identifying errors in feedback loops and providing detailed insights into incoming waste composition. Operators gain real-time data, alerts on deviations or contaminants, and the ability to optimise performance with our expert guidance.

More than just a product, AISEE™ is part of a broader performance strategy. Its native OPC UA connectivity with Mistral+ CONNECT™ optical sorters allows faster adjustments and simplified fine-tuning. At the same time, on-site support from Pellenc ST dedicated technicians ensures that datadriven insights translate into actionable improvements. This human expertise complements the technology and guarantees stable, measurable gains in both quality and efficiency.

Looking forward, AISEE™ is “M2M ready”: the system is prepared for future machine-to-machine automation, where parameter changes could be executed autonomously, minimising human intervention while maintaining consistent output quality. Data collected by AISEE™ is securely presented via the SMART&SHARE™ web application, ISO 27001 certified, allowing operators to access dashboards and reports remotely and make faster, smarter decisions.

By combining AI-powered quality control with advanced sorting technology and dedicated expert support, Pellenc ST positions AISEE™ as a key tool for maximising recovery, ensuring product quality, and advancing the circular economy.
