Aktid Smart Solutions® illustrate Aktid’s commitment to optimising waste sorting facilities.
Aktid Smart Solutions®
A pioneering approach
Aktid is laying the foundations for an integrated self-piloting system that will enable sorting centres to make a technological leap towards Industry 5.0.
As of 2018, Aktid has initiated a pioneering Research & Development plan, focusing on the self-piloting of sorting centres. This approach gave birth to the Aktid Smart Solutions® product range, which meets the strategic and operational needs of operators.
After a pilot site test phase, the first solutions – ABI®, Smart Regulation®, Smart Packing® – have proven their effectiveness and have been rolled out on a larger scale on both new and existing sites.
The success and confirmed interest have led to the gradual development of new solutions incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation.
Aktid Smart Solutions
This range of products combines automation and artificial intelligence to support the transformation of sorting centres towards Industry 5.0. By optimising the operation of the entire plant, these solutions deliver unrivalled performance, availability and sorting quality.
Three technological pillars
Aktid Smart Solutions® are based on a solid technological foundation, structured around three major functional areas :
- real-time flow analysis
- predictive artificial intelligence
- and automatic control of equipment
These foundations enable the operation of the facility to be continuously adapted to variations in flow, while maximising performance.
Business expertise, advanced engineering and AI : a foundation for excellence
A global business vision
As an integrator, Aktid has extensive expertise covering the entire installation process. This is reflected in the Aktid Smart Solutions, which can be integrated with all components of the process as part of a global offer to improve the performance of sorting centres
A centre of excellence in automation and AI
Performance is part of a dynamic of constant improvement. Aktid is gradually developing new features, consolidating an integrated self-piloting system. This work is being carried out by a team specialising in advanced automation and data science, working closely with experts in industrial artificial intelligence.
A vision of innovation
« As a systems integrator, our expertise in the sorting business gives us a twofold vision: a detailed understanding of the interactions between the machines and an overall view of the operational challenges, particularly those linked to reduced production. Each Aktid Smart Solutions® product has been designed as a building block in our vision of the sorting centre of the future: a self-piloting sorting centre.
The foundations of this vision are now concrete: our automation structure is solid, the first Smart Solutions have already been deployed and tested, and the next ones look promising. Together with the entire Aktid innovation team, we are excited to be working on Autopilot, which will mark a turning point towards Industry 5.0 in our industry »
