Cimbria, a leader in industrial processing solutions, has launched BRAIN, a new software control system for its optical sorters. This advanced system, powered by artificial intelligence, is designed to streamline the creation of complex sorting recipes and boost efficiency in optical sorting processes by up to 18%. BRAIN simplifies the operation of Cimbria’s optical sorters by leveraging AI to combine human input with machine learning. This synergy enhances the precision of raw material sorting, leading to more effective results. According to Michela Pelliconi, head of sales for optical sorting at Cimbria, BRAIN revolutionizes the operation of their top-tier optical sorters. She emphasized that the software incorporates years of Cimbria’s experience and knowledge to automatically optimize settings for superior sorting outcomes, reducing manual adjustments. The sophisticated algorithm within BRAIN software allows the SEA.IQ PLUS optical sorter to more accurately identify and differentiate elements based on color, shape, size, and defects, resulting in time savings and reduced manual workload. Technical staff will find machine operation simplified with AI-generated recipes, minimizing the need for subjective interpretation, leading to faster and simpler workflows. This enhanced system also enables operators to manage multiple machines and sites more effectively. Cimbria highlights its position as a global leader in industrial processing, handling, and storage solutions for cereals, seeds, animal feed, food, and other bulk materials. The company states that BRAIN is built upon its extensive market expertise and long-term experience in optimal sorting processes, ensuring high-quality end products. Pelliconi noted that AI is becoming essential in global business in 2024, and Cimbria is proud to be the first in their industry to introduce AI’s benefits. She added that the launch of BRAIN is considered a first step into the vast potential of AI, with a primary focus on enhancing efficiency and quality for their customers.
