Case Study: Manufacturing Technology Centre achieves 10x faster nuclear waste sorting labeling with V7 Labs

MTC speeds labeling 10x with V7 Labs

The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) faced the challenge of developing a reliable solution for autonomously sorting and segregating mixed radioactive nuclear waste, a task too dangerous for humans. To build a computer vision system for a robotic grasp planner, MTC partnered with V7 Labs and utilized its V7 Darwin platform for data annotation and model training.

By implementing V7's solution, MTC integrated a cloud-based segmentation model to identify objects. V7 Labs' platform provided advanced quality review capabilities and customizable workflows, which dramatically improved labeling consistency and speed. This resulted in a 10x acceleration of their annotation process compared to their previous tool, enabling efficient preparation of training data for real-world environment testing.
