"AI" Doesn't Automatically Mean Camera-Based Technology
In waste and recycling tech, "AI" usually gets associated with camera-based sorting. That's a fair assumption, most of the AI applications in this industry are built around visual recognition, cameras scanning objects on a belt and sorting them by what they look like. But that's not what Litech does.
Litech Receives NOK 14.4 Million in Funding to Advance Waste Safety Technology
Battery fires and hazardous waste are becoming one of the biggest safety challenges for waste and recycling facilities worldwide. To help solve this growing problem, Litech has received NOK 14.4 million in funding to further develop its AI-powered waste detection technology.
What waste operators actually need from fire prevention technology
Fire prevention in waste facilities is often discussed in terms of advanced technology, complex systems, and new regulations. For waste operators, however, the reality is far more practical. The question is not how advanced a solution sounds, but whether it works reliably in day-to-day operations. Waste facilities operate in demanding environments. High throughput, mixed materials, dust, vibration, and constant movement are part of normal operations. In this context, fire prevention technology must support the workflow that already exists, rather than adding friction or complexity.
