Making Waste Processing Safer with AI Vision Technology

At Viu More, we partnered with ENVA, a leading waste management company, to tackle one of the industry’s biggest safety challenges: undetected gas canisters in waste streams. Our joint project introduced an AI-powered object detection system that brings a new level of safety and efficiency to ENVA’s facilities in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Why This Matters

Gas canisters hidden in waste pose serious risks during compaction, incineration, and disposal. By deploying advanced machine vision and deep learning, we’ve enabled ENVA to:

• Detect hazardous items in real time, preventing accidents before they happen.

• Protect workers and infrastructure, ensuring compliance with strict safety regulations.

• Improve operational efficiency, reducing downtime and costly disruptions.

What We Delivered

• AI Vision System: Trained on thousands of images to accurately identify gas canisters in complex waste environments.

• Seamless Integration: Hardware and software installed across three conveyor lines, fully connected to ENVA’s workflow.

• Scalable Design: Built for adaptability across multiple sites and evolving waste streams.

• Continuous Improvement: Iterative training cycles and operator-friendly interfaces for long-term reliability.

The Impact

This collaboration sets a new benchmark for safety and innovation in recycling. By combining ENVA’s operational expertise with Viu More’s AI technology, we’ve created a solution that saves lives, protects assets, and drives sustainability in the waste management sector.
