Recyclers are recognizing the importance of acquiring good data on their MRF鈥檚 performance. Due to increasing recycling and purity requirements, there is a drive toward improving recovery and diverting from landfill. Analyzing the material on your inbound stream and comparing it to the data on your end product lines聽and on your residue line can tell you what materials you aren鈥檛 recovering, and how it鈥檚 affecting your bottom line.
To calculate this accurately and be able to improve significantly in these aspects, you need to use a data tool that continuously monitors your material stream and聽gathers valuable data to measure your plant’s performance. Employing artificial intelligence monitoring units on quality control and residue lines will yield a ton of revealing data on plant sorting performance.
鈥淭he real-time data that these units provide is unprecedented in regard to improving recovery,鈥� says Ryan Cournoyer, sales engineer at Van Dyk Recycling Solutions. 鈥淐ollecting data on your material over a period of time will reveal trends in incoming material and pinpoint any shortcomings in the system. An operator can watch on a tablet what the system is sorting at that moment, and if they see a deviation from the plant鈥檚 typical performance, they can correct it then and there. These on-the-fly adjustments could not have been anticipated before this kind of technology.鈥�
