MRFs sort mixed recyclables into marketable commodity bales — but most run on limited real-time data, aging equipment, and a shrinking labor pool.
Operators can't measure capture and loss in real time; optimization relies on periodic manual audits that go stale as the stream shifts.
Manual sort stations are hard to staff and costly to run, and pick consistency varies from shift to shift.
Optical sorters, screens, magnets, and eddy-current separators are rarely re-tuned to a changing stream, leaving recoverable material in residue.

The same compact cell, four different jobs — from protecting bale quality to pulling revenue back out of the residue line.
NAVIGATOR
Navigator continuously characterizes the stream, quantifies capture and loss by commodity, identifies contamination and equipment drift, and recommends or automates adjustments across sortation assets — replacing intermittent audits with a single, measured view of facility performance.

Robotics
Robotics recovers target materials directly on the line — autonomous high-speed cells that pick with consistent accuracy, retrofit into the existing line, and run under continuous remote monitoring.
