AMP AI-guided robotic recycling sortation
AMP reported more than 50 robotic sorting systems deployed at Waste Connections
Problem
Recycling facilities needed to separate mixed materials into usable commodities. Sorting quality affected the value of recovered material.
Approach
Waste Connections adopted AMP's AI-guided robots for recycling lines. AMP's vision platform identified materials and guided robotic picking. The partnership expanded after an initial agreement in 2020.
Results
Takeaway
The deployed sorting systems preceded a separate plan for a fully integrated recycling facility.
