AI on the Line: Preventing Waste Fires Before They Ignite.
Real-Time Detection of Hazards and Smarter Sorting with Artificial Intelligence.

Umelá inteligencia na triediacej linke: Prevencia požiarov odpadov ešte pred ich vznietením.
Detekcia rizík v reálnom čase a inteligentnejšie triedenie pomocou umelej inteligencie.

Artificial intelligence is transforming waste management by enabling real-time waste stream analysis and early detection of hazardous objects like lithium-ion batteries.
These system significantly reduce fire risk, prevent costly downtime, and support safer facility operations. With object classification, belt-performance recording and predictive alerts, AI-driven monitoring becomes an essential tool in modern recycling plants.

This presentation showcases how integrating intelligent recognition into sorting lines enhances safety, efficiency, and recycling rate.
