Fibersort

Fibersort® is a revolutionary textile sorting machine that uses artificial intelligence (AI) models to identify and separate textiles based on fiber composition and color properties. This technology is crucial for efficiently processing large volumes of recycled post-consumer textiles. It employs artificial intelligence (AI) models to predict the concentration of fibers based on Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) scans, which include pure fibers and fiber blends.

This allows for highly accurate sorting of recycled post-consumer textiles. Fibersort® can also sort textiles based on color using an RGB camera. This system speeds up and improves the accuracy of textile sorting, making it an essential tool for textile manufacturers, collectors, and recyclers alike in order to achieve a circular textile economy where recycled post-consumer textiles are effectively reintroduced into the production cycle.

Furthermore, Covicon played a role in assisting Valvan with the full vision setup and developing the software capable of accurately identifying textile composition and color.
