Why Now
A vast amount of waste is generated around the world every day, creating significant environmental and social challenges. To build a more sustainable society, a wide range of initiatives, including recycling, are being implemented worldwide.
However, waste treatment facilities continue to face demanding working conditions, chronic labor shortages, and increasingly complex manual sorting requirements.
To help address these challenges, we developed "Raptor VISION", an AI engine specialized in waste sorting. Designed to automate labor-intensive sorting processes, it improves working conditions while accelerating the recycling cycle through faster and more efficient waste sorting.
Leveraging the optical and image recognition technologies cultivated through the development of the world's No. 1* scanner technology, our proprietary algorithms serve as the "eyes" of waste-sorting robots, enabling highly accurate and efficient sorting.
Global Environmental Challenges
Efforts to address environmental issues, including the growing waste problem, are accelerating worldwide.
Current Situation in Japan
Waste-sorting facilities are facing the limits of manual sorting due to chronic labor shortages and increasingly stringent sorting requirements.
The Key to Recycling “Sorting Accuracy”
Accurate identification and sorting of waste by material and type are essential for effective recycling.
VISION
Pioneering the digital transformation of recycling for a sustainable future.
MISSION
Accelerating recycling through creativity and technology.
SERIES
Sorting challenges stand in the way of effective recycling. The key to overcoming them is accurate recognition.
Raptor VISION serves as the eyes of sorting robots, recognizing objects on conveyor belts with unrivaled accuracy.
Raptor：A Bird of Prey
The name “Raptor” evokes the strength, speed, and keen vision of birds of prey, such as hawks and kites, which can accurately spot and capture their targets from above. Combined with “VISION”, which represents recognition, the name succinctly conveys the key capabilities that define advanced image recognition.
