Cobots, robotics and industrial automation in the recycling and waste processing industry

Robots, machine vision and industrial automation for the recycling and waste processing industry

Growing waste streams and stricter requirements for recycling and waste processing bring many challenges. At the same time, the transition to a circular economy creates opportunities to use raw materials more efficiently and give materials a second life. Smart automation and robotics play an important role in this.

With industrial automation and machine vision, waste streams can be accurately detected, sorted and inspected. Robots and cobots automate repetitive tasks and help process materials more efficiently for reuse and recycling. Automated processes can also run consistently for long periods, so employees are less exposed to heavy, repetitive or potentially hazardous work.

At Elenco, we combine industrial automation, robotics and machine vision into solutions tailored to your processing operation. And you can count on our service after delivery too: in the event of breakdowns or defects, we are ready to help find a solution quickly and keep downtime to a minimum.

Industrial automation in recycling and waste processing by Elenco

we are elenco

Your robot, machine vision and automation specialist in recycling and waste processing

We have more than 30 years of experience in automation and robotics. From cobot and robot integration to designing control cabinets and retrofitting outdated machines. We also centralise data visualisation in one place, so you know how much waste and what kind of waste is being processed, and how fast the machine is running. And we integrate vision systems to check that recycled materials contain no unwanted contamination.
