I was hot and uncomfortable, sorting through trash all day.<br \/>For me, the work was bearable for a short time, but many people do this sort of work for years or decades. I realized it must take a toll on their physical and mental health.<\/blockquote><p>As a computer scientist, Shohreh began thinking of ways to use technology to improve conditions. She found a receptive audience after sharing her ideas with Alexander Gaun, a fellow graduate student who headed up a working group at Clausthal University of Technology\u2019s Institute for Preparation, Recycling and Circular Economy Systems.<\/p><p>With support from Alexander and her professors, Shohreh began developing a first solution for improving working conditions at recycling centers as part of her master\u2019s thesis.<\/p><h2>Monitoring a conveyor belt in Austria from a computer in Germany<\/h2><p>For her master\u2019s thesis, Shohreh focused on a type of machine that sorts different types of metal on a conveyor belt using a series of magnets. Despite the difficult, gruelling conditions, a person needs to be on hand to help analyze the metal types and to make sure the machine is operating 24\/7.<\/p><p>The need to operate Shohreh\u2019s solution remotely became a key issue from the start. Although she would be monitoring the results at her university in Germany, the machine she was given access to for testing was in Austria!<\/p><p>The monitoring device Shohreh created is powered by a Raspberry Pi computer connected to a camera and is mounted above the sorting machine\u2019s conveyor belt. Metal types are identified by color, using customized algorithms. These were developed by Shohreh and have a 97% accuracy rate. The live video and data are displayed remotely using RealVNC Connect. In addition to the metal analysis, the solution can also alert workers if the machine stops working due to a power outage or mechanical failure.<\/p><p>Despite being in a different country from where her machine was operating, Shohreh was able to operate and test the device successfully.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a6cf8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"5a6cf8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realvnc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/video5213468802691373884.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlsList=\"nodownload\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d7aa01a elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d7aa01a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>A safer future for workers in the recycling and mining industries<\/h2>\n<p>After completing her Masters\u2019 studies, Shohreh began to expand her work as part of her PhD research. She is now developing ways for operators of other machine types to do their work remotely in a clean and safe environment whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p>Shohreh hopes to eventually use the technology she has developed to open a company that helps recycling centers and mining operations around the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Most of us never think of what happens to our cardboard or plastic after we put it in the recycling bins. We don\u2019t think about the people who must sort through this trash, often by hand. They are exposed to dust and mold every day for years, and this can put their health at risk. &nbsp;<br>I want everyone, not just office workers, to be able to work remotely in a clean and safe environment.
