Van Dyk’s exclusive partnership with Greyparrot gives MRF owners and operators unprecedented access to their plant’s performance data.
How does it work?
Greyparrot’s waste intelligence platform uses easily mounted cameras to track materials passing on conveyor belts and identify items from over 89 waste categories. The camera units sit over your conveyor belts, gathering live images of your waste items. Those images are processed instantly by AI software that is trained on billions of data points. The data is reported immediately on a live dashboard, providing an inside look at plant sorting performance. Using Greyparrot’s live insights, recycling operators can act fast to optimize their process and increase their recovery.
