•••9••• Innovationen The demos will be very entertaining for all visitors Foto: Messe München GmbH Daily Demo Shows Emission-free construction Innovations around construction logistics, digital construction processes, emission-free or low-emission machines - these are the future topics in modern road and sewer construction, as well as measures for structural maintenance. Alternative fuel concepts will be discussed and presented during the demonstrations. Attachments will be shown that offer extremely effective process options for recycling. This is an important topic when companies are also taskedwith recycling as part of a construction site and require the appropriate technology. In general, the VDBUMwill be focusing on sewer construction at IFAT Munich 2024 and will also be highlighting different forms that are already being used by companies today or will be used in the future. Together with its partners, VDBUM will occupy a total area of 2,500 m2 at IFAT Munich 2024. 2,000 m2 will be used for exhibits and 500 m2 for the demonstration area. The VDBUM has two major construction machinery manufacturers on board to represent the earthworks sector, and a suction excavator company will also be there. Trenchless shoring, compaction technology and attachments that can carry out valuable preparatory work in the recycling industry or replace larger machines for certain activities will be presented. There is a great demand from construction companies who want to increase the capacity utilization of their excavators with powerful attachments and at the same time be able to dispense with equipment that is only rarely used. Ultimately, a mix of all systems, equipment and machines that can be found in sewer construction will be presented, without comparing them to a competitor’s product. The four daily demo shows last a maximum of 30 minutes and are designed to be entertaining. For the first time, visitors will be offered a grandstand so that they can experience the demonstrations with even more concentration and the best possible view. Afterwards, VDBUM and its partners invite interested guests to deepen their impressions over coffee and a snack and tomake further contacts. Many innovations Around 50 international startups WeSort. AI will be there for the first time and directly as themain exhibitor in Hall B5, Stand 124. Founded in 2021, the Würzburg-based company has developed from a promising idea into a respected player in the recycling industry within just two and a half years. Specializing in the granular analysis and sorting of waste objects using artificial intelligence (AI) and object recognition, WeSort.AI is revolutionizing waste management. “With our solution, we are opening up new fractions and achieving previously unattained levels of purity,” explains co-founder Nathanael Laier and continues: “A highlight of our technology, the ‘BatterySort’ product, makes a significant contribution to fire prevention in sorting plants. We will also be presenting it in a lecture at IFAT Munich on the Green Stage.” The technology is already being used successfully by various recyclers in Germany, and further AI analysis and sorting machines will be installed in 2024. The example of Greyparrot shows the outstanding development that former young companies can achieve. The British company already presented its innovative system, which uses AI andmachine learning to optimize the waste sorting process, at the last IFATMunich in 2022 – back then still as part of the Start-up Area. Greyparrot will be back in Munich again this year, but this time as a “regular” exhibitor in Hall B4, Stand 137. “Over the past two years, we have made massive progress in many areas – from the expansion of our waste recognition library to more than 70 categories, and the installation of over 100 Greyparrot analyzers in 14 countries, to our recently announced strategic partnership with Bollegraaf, the world’s largest manufacturer of recycling systems,” says Mikela Druckman. And the CEO of Greyparrot is looking further ahead: “Progress in tackling the global waste and resource crisis can only be made if we work together. That’s why we are once again looking forward to IFAT Munich to find out how our system can support the international key players in the recycling sector even more extensively.” Continued from Page 7 The startup area is a must-see at IFAT Munich 2024 Foto: Messe München GmbH Messehighlight
