ERI, a fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition (ITAD) provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company, now maintains eight state-of-the-art e-waste recycling facilities, including its state-of-the-art headquarters location in Fresno, CA. ERI鈥檚 California facility houses proprietary and first-in-industry technologies such as AI-driven robotics; proprietary hyper-efficient shredding; smart material tracking and reporting technology; and ERI鈥檚 proprietary AI and machine learning technology system called SOAR. SOAR utilizes ERI鈥檚 Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to highlight text on a picture, allowing the user to easily make selections during the receiving process. The system provides automated selections of the appropriate text from the OCR scans of images, which eliminates the need for user decision-making.
