Recycleye QualiBot®

Always there.
Always sorting.

Robotic QC automation for dry mixed recyclables — co-developed with FANUC and driven by Recycleye Vision, the AI that’s as accurate as the human eye.

Picks around the clock

Co-developed with FANUC and driven by Recycleye Vision, an industrial arm with a suction gripper lifts target items straight off the belt — up to 33,000 objects per 10-hour shift, removing contamination and lifting the quality of your MRF output shift after shift.

Part 02 · Recognition AIThe brain

Knows exactly what to pick

Trained on a vast, ever-growing dataset of real dry mixed recyclables, QualiBot pinpoints the target materials in the stream — the target materials that belong in your product — and decides what to pick in real time. Every installation feeds the dataset, so it keeps getting sharper.

Part 03 · AnalyticsThe insight

Near real-time analytics of your stream

Every pick and detection is logged, so you see exactly what’s flowing through your line as it happens — live composition and recovery by material, tracked over time. Prove the uplift QualiBot delivers.

Retrofit. Minimal disruption.

QualiBot drops into your existing plant with no structural modifications — installed by a small Recycleye team and picking in days, not months. Use it to optimise your quality-control cabins and automate positions on residue lines.

Stand-alone
Robot 1 Robot 2 one QC / residue line

Robots run the line on their own — ideal for residue lines and dedicated QC streams.

Complementary to manual
Robot Operators

Robots take the repetitive picks; your team handles the rest — lifting output without adding headcount.

The same rate, every shift.

Watch a shift play out. A human picker’s rate swings with fatigue, breaks and concentration — and drifts down as the shift wears on. QualiBot holds the same steady rate from the first minute to the last: it doesn’t get tired.

Holds purity under pressure.

As the belt gets busier, a human picker’s output purity falls away fast. A robot holds far steadier — and two robots on one line barely move, so you keep quality high even at peak throughput.

Peace of mind, built in

A fast retrofit with no plant modifications gets QualiBot picking quickly, installed at your MRF by a small team of our experts. It is designed for maintenance — a removable hood with see-through grating, an improved access door and an accessible pneumatic panel — and backed by a tailored Recycleye service plan.
