System quickly gauges device condition

摘要

In the fast-evolving world of e-scrap,it's important to know what you have so you can choose the best method of processing it.A device might be sent for commodity recovery,for example,or it may be repaired and refurbished for reuse.The Optiline,made by Teleplan,grades devices based on their quality,providing a quick initial sort of the incoming stream.It grades on both functionality and cosmetic condition,allowing a processor to determine how the device should be handled,as well as the right selling price for functional devices.The Optiline uses line confocal imaging(LCI)to provide 2-and 3-dimensional measurements of fixed and moving surfaces.By using this technology alongside grading algorithms,the system”can virtually detect and parametrize any 3D defect or 2D surface anomaly,”the company said.
