Waste Management

AI that keeps up with changing waste streams

Packaging changes. Materials evolve. Your AI should too. Build waste sorting models that continuously learn and adapt.

The Challenge

Your training data is already outdated

Static models don't work in waste management. New packaging hits shelves every week. Seasonal products come and go. Brand redesigns happen overnight. Your sorting AI needs to adapt — or accuracy plummets.

New packaging every week

Brands redesign, seasonal editions launch, new materials enter the market. Your model trained on last year's packaging is already outdated.

Regional variations

Products in France differ from Germany. Local brands, different recycling symbols, varying material compositions across regions.

Mixed & damaged items

Crushed cans, torn labels, multi-layer packaging. Real-world waste looks nothing like pristine training images.

Model drift over time

A model that worked great in January underperforms by June. Without monitoring, you won't know until sorting quality drops.

The Solution

Continuous learning, not one-time training

Picsellia creates a closed loop: monitor production, catch drift, retrain, and redeploy — automatically.

1
Deploy & Monitor

Deploy & Monitor

Models run on your sorting line. Every prediction is logged with confidence scores.

2
Detect Drift

Detect Drift

When confidence drops or new item types appear, the system flags them automatically.

3
Smart Labeling

Smart Labeling

Low-confidence samples are routed to human reviewers. AI pre-labels, experts validate.

4
Retrain & Redeploy

Retrain & Redeploy

Updated models are trained on new data and deployed without downtime.

Continuous loop — models improve every week
Applications

Built for sorting facilities

From MRFs to collection points, Picsellia powers waste classification across the recycling chain.

Automated Waste Sorting
95%
Classification accuracy

Automated Waste Sorting

Classify materials on conveyor belts in real-time. PET, HDPE, cardboard, aluminum — your model learns to distinguish them all, even as packaging evolves.

Contamination Detection
60%
Less contamination

Contamination Detection

Spot contaminated recyclables before they ruin an entire batch. Identify food residue, mixed materials, and non-recyclable items in the stream.

Fill Level Monitoring
30%
Fewer truck runs

Fill Level Monitoring

Track container fill levels across your network. Optimize collection routes based on actual need, not fixed schedules.

Material Composition
100%
Traceability

Material Composition

Analyze waste streams to understand what's coming through. Generate reports for regulatory compliance and recycling optimization.

Platform

Tools for continuous improvement

Every feature in Picsellia is designed for iteration. Collect new samples, retrain fast, and push to production.

Monitoring

Model Monitoring

Catch drift before it hurts

Track prediction confidence in real-time. When your model sees packaging it wasn't trained on, you'll know immediately — not weeks later when sorting quality drops.

Labeling

Active Learning

Label smarter, not harder

Low-confidence predictions are automatically queued for review. Your team labels only the samples that matter — the edge cases your model struggles with.

Pipelines

Automated Pipelines

Retrain on schedule or trigger

Set up pipelines that retrain models weekly, or trigger retraining when enough new samples accumulate. Deploy updated models without stopping your line.

The result? Models that never go stale.

Keep 95%+ accuracy year-round, even as packaging changes weekly.
