Problem
Waste facilities face increasing fire hazards and operational downtime due to incorrectly sorted lithium batteries and nitrous oxide canisters in fragmented waste streams. Traditional waste management processes often fail to detect these hidden dangers, leading to costly damages, safety risks, and environmental concerns.
Solution
Litech provides a sensor-based solution that detects hazardous materials in waste streams using Magnetic Induction Spectroscopy (MIS) and artificial intelligence. The system induces a magnetic field to generate a unique signature of the waste composition, which is then analyzed using AI to identify dangerous items in real-time. This enables waste facilities to proactively remove hazardous materials like lithium batteries and nitrous oxide canisters, preventing fires and explosions. The solution is designed to be retrofitted into existing sorting lines, providing a scalable and cost-effective way to improve safety, reduce downtime, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Target Audience
Litech's primary customers are waste management facilities and recycling plants seeking to improve safety, reduce operational costs, and comply with environmental regulations.
