Frequently asked questions

What about Integration? SCADA/ERP/materials exchanges?

Integration involves connecting systems such as SCADA, ERP, and materials exchange platforms for streamlined data flow and management.

What is the payback period? Higher fraction prices and less defect?

The return on investment (ROI) is driven by increased value of sorted fractions and reduced material defects resulting from precise sorting.

What are the risks? Dust/dirt/variability – tuning?

Potential risks include environmental factors like dust or variations in material composition, requiring ongoing system tuning and maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

What about Service? Cameras/light/cleaning/calibration?

Regular service involves maintaining the cameras, lighting systems, performing cleaning tasks, and conducting calibration procedures to guarantee accurate operation.
