A distributed data processing system for industrial recycling

Abstract

In the future, recycling will become more and more important due to the increase of environmental awareness. During the active life of a product many changes will occur. To be able to disassemble a product in an automatic way many parameters have to be measured. More specifically, to be able to detect and measure all defects and small model differences, complex sensor systems need to be used. These sensor systems will produce a large amount of data. To reduce the amount of data transmitted over the bus local processors pre-process the data.
