Abstract
A material handling system sorts mixed materials utilizing a combination of a spectroscopic sensor, such as x-ray fluorescence, and 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, such as wrought, cast, and extrusion aluminum alloys.
