01 / MISSION

Define the operating envelope.

The objective: scoping specialist sorting and repetitive material handling. Start with one bounded workflow and record how it is completed today. The decision owner is typically among materials recovery and industrial waste operators. Document where human judgment remains necessary before selecting a machine.

02 / SITE FIT

The environment is part of the specification.

Material variation, contamination, sharp objects, dust, and maintenance access. Build these conditions into the demonstration, including the less convenient parts of a normal operating day. Confirm recovery behavior, maintenance access, and who owns an unresolved exception.

03 / ACCEPTANCE TESTS

Prove the workflow.

  1. Representative mixed material through the system
  2. Jam recovery and safe cleaning
  3. Wear-part availability and service access
04 / SUCCESS METRICS

Measure useful output.

Recovered material quality

Throughput and downtime

Compare the baseline with pilot results, including human assistance, failed cycles, consumables, and service time.
