Raw Materials Sensing and Sorting


Welcome to the forefront of innovation in Raw Materials Sensing and Sorting.

Raw materials are the building blocks of our world, playing a pivotal role in industries ranging from manufacturing to construction. The ability to efficiently and precisely sense and sort these materials is essential for optimizing production processes, minimizing waste, and ensuring sustainability.

At GeMMe, an interdisciplinary team collaborates across various domains to create solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and foster innovation.

Our projects represent a tapestry of knowledge, innovation, and advancement that promises to redefine how we perceive and utilize raw materials. They offer a window into a world where the efficient sensing and sorting of raw materials is transforming industries.

In 2025, the University of Liège announced the creation of the spin-off company MATVISION, the result of more than ten years of R&D and innovation within our laboratory, developed in collaboration with industrial partners Groupe COMET (Mons) and Cylix (Liège). MATVISION specializes in the development of robotized sorting solutions for industrial waste such as shredded metals, promoting their recycling (circular economy) in the context of the energy and digital transition.
