8th Sensor-Based Sorting & Control 2018

Sensor-based sorting technologies have been in use for around 30 years and have become an indispensable component for the processing of primary and secondary raw materials. With the technologies available today, such as multisensory technology and machine learning, individual particles and material flows can be comprehensively characterized. This renders the possibility to use sensors not only for the actual sorting process, but also for the targeted control and monitoring of material flows as well as the control of entire process chains. Based on these new tasks and strong demand for the optimization of existing technology, development is still ongoing. New developments and applications of sensor-based sorting and process control for primary and secondary raw materials are key aspects of the 8th International Conference “Sensor-Based Sorting & Control 2018”. Organizers are the Department of Processing and Recycling (I. A. R.) and the Unit of Mineral Processing (AMR) of RWTH Aachen University as well as the Aachen Know-How Centre Resource Technology (AKR) and RWTH International Academy.
