Pain Point Scenario
A Vietnamese coffee exporter lost $120,000 in 2023 due to pebble contamination in raw beans. Meanwhile, a Canadian recycling plant achieved 99.2% purity in PET flakes using AI-powered color sorters – the difference? Smart machine selection.”
Technology Comparison
Sensor Showdown:
- CCD sensors: 12-bit depth captures 68 billion colors (ideal for tea/food)
- CMOS sensors: 800fps (best for mining/plastics)
Pro Tip: Multi-spectral analysis detects invisible defects – a rice mill in Thailand reduced moldy grains by 83% using 950nm NIR technology.
Decision Guide
Industry | Throughput | Key Feature | ROI Case |
