Abstract

A material handling system sorts mixed materials utilizing a combination of x-ray fluorescence and/or a vision system that implements an artificial intelligence system in order to identify or classify each of the materials, which are then sorted into separate groups based on such an identification or classification. The system is capable of sorting between materials typically found within Zorba, Zebra, and Twitch.
