Robotic sorting for recycling — Packaging

The challenge

Data existed but lived in spreadsheets and legacy systems, so decisions were made on instinct rather than evidence.

What we built

Built in our Motera lab, validated on a replica rig, then commissioned on site in days using Hyperspectral and EtherCAT.

Delivery timeline

1. Phase 1

   Discovery sprint and site survey

2. Phase 2

   Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab

3. Phase 3

   Pilot on site with before/after measurement

4. Phase 4

   Scale-out, training and handover

Highlights

• Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
• Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
• Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
• Documentation, drawings and source handed over at close
