一般廃棄物処理システムにおけるAI・IoT技術の技術熟度評価

抄録

In this study, we investigate and propose the introduction of AI and IoT technologies for the upgrading of waste treatment systems through technology readiness assessment (TRA). First of all, in order to understand the examples of AI and IoT technologies currently used in waste treatment facilities, we organized information such as papers and constructed a database. Each technology was categorized by the process of waste incineration, and the contents of each were evaluated using TRL (Technology Readiness Level). As a result, it was found that most of the technologies used in MSW incineration plants had a high level of maturity, while many of the technologies used in the collection and transportation processes had only reached the level of demonstration tests and were not yet in widespread use. In addition, interviews with manufacturers revealed that even if manufacturers incorporate AI and IoT technologies, it is difficult for them to gain recognition for their efforts because local governments focus on results and efficiency.
