Sorters cap at 40 items/min with zero tracking. Cloud robots work 24/7, analyzing 6MB/sec to boost recovery 10% and automate reporting.
A robotics research company addressing the global waste crisis, where millions of tons of material are processed manually in conditions ranking among the top five most dangerous occupations.
Human sorters can handle only 30 to 40 items per minute before fatigue significantly reduces efficiency and safety. Furthermore, manual processes...
“If you go to a mixed recycling facility, you’ll see long picking lines where people are sorting different waste streams. It’s a very hands-on, dirty, and dangerous job, where injury rates are high. What’s more, next to no data is collected about the waste that comes in and what gets extracted for recycling.”
