Multi-Item Input
Unlike traditional methods that accept only a single item or deposit container at a time, this system allows all waste to be input at once, automatically identifying and counting the recyclable items.
More accurate and efficient than the human eye
An AI-powered waste recognition and counting solution
WIMPLE COUNT is an AI-powered solution that accurately identifies and classifies hundreds of recyclable
items in real time.
Using advanced object recognition technology, it precisely counts items eligible for recycling deposits
and calculates the corresponding reward amount.
Unlike traditional methods that accept only a single item or deposit container at a time, this system allows all waste to be input at once, automatically identifying and counting the recyclable items.
In addition to being trained on both domestic and international recycling separation standards, the system accurately identifies hundreds of recyclable items, including detecting foreign substances and multi-layer packaging materials.
WIMPLE COUNT can classify and calculate according to any deposit standard, and even distinguish between alcoholic beverage containers and soft drink containers.
WIMPLE COUNT features a streamlined hardware design optimized
for autonomous operation, enabling the device to recognize and
count items automatically as soon as they are inserted into the slot.
A product that contains the PC
the most essential component for AI operation.
A chain installed at the input area prevents recyclables from piling up and ensures they are evenly distributed when placed inside.
Sorts recognized recyclable materials to direct them to either the left or right receiving area.
A camera is installed inside to photograph recyclables as they move along the conveyor belt, with built-in lighting to ensure a consistent imaging environment.
It is installed at the base of the AI BOX, it enables recyclables to move at a steady pace synchronized with the AI’s recognition speed.
WIMPLE COUNT is equipped with AI that has learned various waste conditions
and regional recycling standards, making it usable anywhere.
Our product, WIMPLE COUNT, is exported to the Canadian company
‘WOORI’ and is utilized as a system for accurately classifying and
counting deposit-eligible items at Canadian Return-It stores.
Seoreu's recycling AI use case has been recognized as a best practice
by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), earning
international acclaim for its innovation and effectiveness.
The volume of waste and the cost of disposal continue to rise globally each year. However, in many countries, proper waste separation and disposal are still lacking, and the actual recycling rate of collected waste remains very low. Relying on human eyes and hands for sorting makes it difficult to improve recycling efficiency. We address this challenge by enhancing traditional sorting and separation processes with an innovative AI-powered automation solution that replaces manual labor.
The technology from Seoreu integrated into WIMPLE COUNT
has been validated as both reliable and innovative through extensive
research papers and academic publications.
