Sorted builds AI-powered robotic sorting systems for material recovery facilities. Its SortBot robotic arms are retrofittable units that use computer vision to identify and remove targeted waste items from MRF conveyor belts into correct chutes, with each arm servicing two chutes. Paying MRF customers include SUEZ (Avonmouth facility, 70,000 tonnes/year), Bywaters, and NWH Group, with NWH's 2024 Dumfries MRF installation achieving a 17% efficiency improvement. The company also offers Sorted Light (laser-guided picking assistance for human sorters) and Waste Audit Studio (photo-based composition auditing software).
