Before a plant invests in automation, the question that matters most is whether it will actually work for that specific operation – BRAIN by Picvisa exists to answer that question with data rather than assumptions.
BRAIN by Picvisa is a consultancy service built around deep learning – analysing a plant's specific material streams and processes to determine where automation would deliver the most value, and how it would need to be configured to do so.
Rather than offering a generic automation package, BRAIN starts from the plant's actual conditions – the composition of incoming material, the existing line layout, the bottlenecks that limit current performance – and builds recommendations from there, so that any automation investment is targeted at the points where it will have the most impact.
While the consultancy grew out of PICVISA's work in waste and recycling, the underlying deep learning approach applies across industries – anywhere that material needs to be classified, sorted or analysed, the same methodology can be adapted to assess feasibility.
What sets BRAIN apart is the ability to validate findings with full-scale tests at PICVISA's own Test Centre – rather than relying purely on theoretical models, plants can see how their actual material behaves with real equipment, turning a feasibility study into a demonstrated result before any commitment is made.
