Recently, the main principles in the field of municipal solid waste management are recycling and reuse of secondary resources. Information technologies are widely used in modern waste management technologies. Problematic is the issue of recognition of the sorting object on the waste conveyor. There are various robotic systems for automated separation of sorting objects. The article provides a description of the system in the process of "recognition - capture - movement" of a sorting object on a common conveyor. A group of sensors is used to identify objects on the conveyor, while simultaneously fixing the coordinates of each identified object on the surface of the conveyor belt. Information about the coordinates and properties of each identified object is transmitted over the communication line to the control panel by manipulators, which capture individual identified objects and mix them into special containers.

In recent years, municipal solid waste management in developed countries has been based on the principle of recycling and reusing secondary products. The overseas level of sorting and disposal of waste is higher and more detailed, it refers to a higher economic level, cultural level of quality of life, government investment, appropriate policies and the construction of related auxiliary facilities. This article discusses some of the systems and methods for sorting municipal solid waste in order to justify the need to develop a system for object recognition when sorting waste.

This article discusses the general waste management system in Russia, which includes five main areas (landfills, waste sorting complexes, waste incineration complexes, waste processing complexes, waste composting plants). Two types of sorting of municipal solid waste are considered: manual and automatic. Also, a scheme was proposed for the movement of the main products of solid municipal waste from the consumer to the finished final product.

In this paper, the problem of operational dispatch control in electric power systems is proposed to be solved using a decision support method based on expert systems. This article provides general information about the role of decision support systems in the management of complex technological processes. The architecture of the intelligent decision support system has been designed. The development of a knowledge base for an expert system, which consists of 56 rules, was carried out in the CLIPS environment. A fragment of the created expert system knowledge base is also given. The developed decision support system based on the expert system allows you to increase control over the city’s power supply systems and to develop recommendations for further actions in the event of any system element failure.
