Plannex Recycling has teamed with Regom to deploy artificial intelligence-based tyre sorting and identification technologies in India, as the firms seek to establish a closed-loop “tyre-to-tyre” recycling model.
The collaboration comes at a time when India’s tyre recycling sector is suffering operational issues, such as labor shortages and inefficiencies in manual sorting. According to the companies, manual sorting frequently produces variable output quality and fails to discover embedded impurities that can harm recycling equipment.
AI-Powered Automation to Replace Manual Sorting
Plannex will use Regom’s automated, AI-powered sorting and identification technology for light-vehicle tyres as well as truck and bus tyres. The system uses AI vision technology to categorize tires based on their type, condition, and possible reuse applications.
