Innovative recycling technologies
Custom robotic solutions for identification, tracking, processing, disassembly and sorting of waste.
Towards the future
Why the recycling industry is evolving:
- Recycling of rare earth metals becomes more important since they are scarcer and more expensive to mine.
- Stricter regulations and targets on e-waste collection, recycling and decrease of land-filling
- More products are produced, with a higher complexity.
- Costly and scarce labor
In the context of digital transformation, we believe that four technologies – custom robotics, machine vision, artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet Of Things (IoT) – will have a big impact on the waste management business in the coming decade.

Our Expertise
We have 10+ years experience in the high-tech industry. Past experience in the development of agricultural robots such as a strawberry picking robot enables to apply these principles to the waste and recycling industry. This includes design of mechatronic systems and flexible grippers, application of machine vision and autonomous platforms. Expertise in system simulation combined with software skills enables us to develop state-of-the-art control strategies and validate them virtually.
