For industrial sectors dedicated to waste (water) to resources reclamation, we use AI and robotics to automate the process of identifying, separating, and reclaiming particles from water. We use the latest innovations from machine vision to identify particles in a stream of water; consequently, we created custom hardware to “slice” the water and divert it to various destinations; one for water and others for different types of particles.
