[Case Study] Halving Sorting Work Time! Toho East Japan Recycling Systems

The introduction of the compact and lightweight RICOH handheld sensor has halved the sorting work time and contributed to reducing the workload!

We would like to introduce a case study of the introduction of the RICOH Handy Sensor at Tohoku Region's East Japan Recycling Systems, which plays a role in the recycling of home appliances. At the company, the sorting work of key materials in the recycling process had been burdensome for workers due to the heavy weight of the previously used identification equipment. With the lightweight and compact RICOH Handy Sensor, workers can now keep the device in their waist pouch and continuously identify materials during work, significantly improving work efficiency. 【Previous Challenges】 - The weight of the previously used identification equipment was heavy, placing a large burden on workers. - The size of the identification equipment was large, requiring careful placement during temporary storage, which hindered smooth operations and caused stress. - When the type of resin could not be identified, workers had to check the most likely materials for identification results, leading to concerns about identification accuracy. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
