On April 2, CiSMA partners from Eurecat and University of Liège (ULiège) participated in the PURESCRAP workshop “Implementation of sensors for scrap analysis” presenting how the project will use multi-sensors to purify metal scrap.
During the presentation, titled “CiSMA and how robotics will purify metal scrap”, CiSMA’s Technical Coordinator from Eurecat, Jaume Pujante Agudo, introduced project approach to introduce 100% recycled Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel products into mass-market steel sheet consumer goods.
Afterwards, ULiège sorting line was presented by Robert Baudinet, CEO of Matvision, a spin-off of the University of Liège offering smart sorting solutions. ULiège and CiSMA partners aim to propose and test strategies to improve the quality of post-consumer scrap using the robotic sorting line, and move beyond the current limitations of working with scrap as a raw material.
PURESCRAP project, focused on increasing the use of post-consumer scrap by deploying and applying technologies to reduce impurities, organized this workshop focused on the implementation of sensors for scrap analysis, bringing together experts, industry leaders, and researchers to share their insights.
The aim of the workshop was to share experiences of practical installation and use of sensors in industrial environments. By participating in this activity CiSMA partners had the opportunity to better understand the complementary approaches developed by other consortia, such as PURESCRAP, Caesar or DiGreeS projects, and the specific challenges they address. Building on this, CiSMA aims to develop a solution that complements existing efforts, ensuring that together, our European research initiatives comprehensively tackle the challenges of a greener steel industry.
