Plastic Recycling Facility
Case Study
Project Overview
Burkasan Plastic Recycling Facility in Bursa, Turkey, implemented Loopbot's Guiss.Ai robotic sorting system to modernize their plastic packaging recycling operations.
The facility faced challenges with manual sorting efficiency and accuracy, leading to increased operational costs and reduced throughput. Traditional methods were time-consuming and prone to human error.
The Challenge
The facility needed to increase sorting accuracy while reducing labor costs and improving overall throughput. Manual sorting was becoming increasingly inefficient as production volumes grew.
- Inconsistent sorting quality with manual processes
- High labor costs and worker fatigue
- Limited scalability with existing infrastructure
- Need for 24/7 operational capability
The Solution
Loopbot deployed the Guiss.Ai system, integrating advanced computer vision and robotic arms to automate the sorting process. The system was customized for plastic packaging materials and integrated seamlessly with existing conveyor infrastructure.
Key Implementation Features:
- AI-powered visual recognition for plastic classification
- High-speed robotic picking system
- Real-time performance monitoring dashboard
- Integration with existing conveyor systems
- Remote diagnostics and support
The Results
92% Sorting Accuracy
Advanced AI algorithms achieve industry-leading precision in material classification, significantly reducing contamination and improving output quality.
30% Cost Reduction
Depending on the operation, facilities may achieve up to 20–40% reduction in labor-related operational costs through automation and improved efficiency.
Increased Throughput
24/7 operational capability with consistent performance, enabling the facility to handle higher volumes without additional labor costs.
Improved Safety
Reduced worker exposure to repetitive tasks and hazardous materials, improving overall workplace safety and employee satisfaction.
