The Challenge

Metal processors sort and process scrap into raw materials for manufacturing, where safety and margin turn on what gets identified and handled in the stream.

Safety

Manual sorting puts workers in direct contact with fast-moving, sharp metal objects — a persistent injury risk that automation removes.

Labor Constraints

Sorting stations are difficult to staff, and consistency varies by shift.

Limited Visibility

Operators lack real-time data on composition and recovery across the line.

How EverestLabs Helps

NAVIGATOR

Agentic AI

Navigator inspects and audits incoming material, characterizes composition and contamination in real time, and monitors recovery across the process — giving operators a measured view of margin and material flow.
