SORTED: scalable sort and segregation for nuclear waste management

“分类”旨在开发一个综合的端到端技术工具箱，用于核废料分类和隔离，跟踪从废物场地到废物接收设施的活动。这将建立在我们现有的知识产权基础上，如大规模物联网系统设计和工程、人工智能和大数据、自主机器人技术、工业自动化系统设计和实施。sort的核心是使用模块化组件连接分类和隔离，以确保技术的可扩展性和可移植性，最大限度地减少人工操作，主观评估，效率低下和由脱节的过程引起的错误。主要承包商是Chilton Computing有限公司，这是一家位于牛津郡哈维尔校区的创新型英国数字技术初创公司，专门从事人工智能和自动化的复杂物联网系统设计和工程服务。三个分包商是GMV Robotics UK （GMV）、Empresarios Agrupados Spain （EA）和RACE UK Atomic Energy Authority (RACE)（仅限第二阶段）。GMV是一家跨国自主机器人系统工程公司。EA是一家领先的国际工程和建设管理公司，在提供大型核退役和放射性废物管理项目方面拥有30年的经验。RACE拥有国家核用户设施。顾问成员包括Kuka Robotics， ResolveRobotics和科学技术设施委员会/UKRI国家科学设施。

SORTED aims to develop an integrated end-to-end technology toolbox for nuclear waste sort and segregation, tracking activities from waste site to waste receiving facility. This will build on our existing IPs, such as large-scale IoT system design and engineering, AI and big data, autonomous robotics technologies, industrial automation system design and implementation. The core of SORTED is connected sort and segregation using modularised components to ensure technology scalability and transferability, minimising laborious manual operations, subjective assessment, inefficiency and errors arising from disjointed processes.The main contractor is Chilton Computing ltd, an innovative UK digital technology startup based at Harwell Campus Oxfordshire specialising in delivering complex IoT system design and engineering services with AI and automation. Three subcontractors are GMV Robotics UK (GMV), Empresarios Agrupados Spain (EA), and RACE UK Atomic Energy Authority (RACE) (phase2 only). GMV is a multinational autonomous robotics systems engineering company. EA is a leading international engineering and construction management company, with 30 years of experience in delivering large nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management projects. RACE hosts the national nuclear users facility. Advisory members are Kuka Robotics, ResolveRobotics, and Science and Technology Facilities Council/UKRI national science facilities.
