Sensor-Based Sorting & Control
The first Sensor-Based Sorting & Control conference took place in 2004. Since then, it has been organized every two years and stands out because of its internationality. In 2024, 118 people from 14 different countries participated.
The 11th Sensor-Based Sorting & Control conference will take place from March 17 to 18, 2026, in Aachen.
Over the two conference days, representatives of the industry and scientific community will present new developments and applications in automated separation and sensor-based control across the entire process chain, from mining to processing for primary and secondary raw materials. The topics that will be discussed are as follows:
- Advancements in multi-sensors;
- Improvements in single-particle detection;
- Methods of data processing and particle analysis;
- Application of sensor systems for online monitoring and process control;
- Optimization of periphery processes.
Furthermore, visitors will get the opportunity to establish and strengthen contacts, discuss technical aspects, and share their experiences at the evening event in the Ratskeller Aachen in the historic city center, directly on the ground floor of the Rathaus. The conference is hosted by the Advanced Mineral Processing Technologies Teaching and Research Unit (AMR) and the Department of Processing and Recycling (ANTS) of RWTH Aachen University.
