Your infrastructure, powered by
waste intelligence

Sync is Greyparrot's integration layer. It connects Analyzer data to your machinery, software and reporting tools in real time.

Analyzer captures the data

AI camera units above conveyor belts continuously identify materials, generating a real-time stream of composition, throughput and purity data across every monitored line.

Sync connects it to your systems

Hardware interfaces deliver high-frequency data to plant control systems. Software interfaces route near-real-time analytics into ERP platforms, Power BI, and operational tools.

Your infrastructure acts on it

Optical sorters and other machinery adjust their settings in real time. ERP systems update with live KPIs. Compliance reports generate automatically. The whole facility becomes responsive.

TWO INTEGRATION PATHS

For facilities, and for the partners who build with us

Sync serves two distinct audiences. Software integrations are built for recovery facility operators, immediate value, minimal effort. Hardware integrations are built for OEMs, plant builders and technology partners who want to embed Greyparrot intelligence directly into their machines.

FOR RECOVERY FACILITIES, SOFTWARE INTEGRATIONS

Connect your existing systems to live waste data

If you run a MRF or PRF, software integrations bring Analyzer data directly into the platforms your team already uses, ERP systems, Power BI dashboards, and operational spreadsheets, with no new hardware and minimal IT effort.

  • Centralise KPIs, throughput, composition and purity across all lines and shifts, in the tools your team already uses
  • Automate reporting, compliance workflows including PRN submissions, MRF Code of Practice and regulatory reporting
  • Reduce time-to-decision, embed waste intelligence into ERP systems to accelerate operational response

FOR OEMS & INTEGRATION PARTNERS, HARDWARE INTEGRATIONS

Build waste intelligence into your machines

If you build sorting machinery, plant infrastructure, or automation systems, hardware integrations let you connect directly to the Greyparrot Analyzer data stream, so your equipment can act on real-time material intelligence, not just conveyor speed or weight.

  • Sortation, providing real-time coordinates and material classifications from the Analyzer stream for automatic sortation (e.g. robotic arms, airjet systems)
  • NIR + AI fusion, combine near-infrared polymer recognition with AI's seven layers of object identification
  • Automated sampling & belt control, automate sampling cabins, belt speed and material routing based on live composition data

DYNAMIC CONTROL

What if your facility could adapt to changes in your feedstock?

Feed composition varies constantly, across suppliers, seasons and geographies, driven by shifting consumer trends, policy and market pressures.

Sync uses real-time data to respond as composition changes, integrating into your sorting and conveying equipment to increase recovery and cut downtime, driving value from your feedstock, every time.

  • Purge or recirculate based on available recoverables
  • Maximise feed rate without losing purity
  • Calibrate equipment through performance feedback loops
  • Protect size-reduction equipment from harmful material
  • Respond to flow changes and reduce blockage impact

FULLY AUTOMATED SORTING FACILITIES

The recovery facility of the future

By combining individual integrations, Sync automates the sorting system end-to-end, from how material enters the facility to how bales leave it. Four core automation capabilities.

01. Belt control

The speed, direction and status of a conveyor belt is controlled to regulate the flow of material entering the facility and ensure optimal performance at each separation stage. Facilities respond to upstream composition changes before they become downstream problems.

02. Drive sortation

Vision-guided robotic arms and air jets directly drive separation through object detection and coordinate tracking. Greyparrot's real-time material classifications give sorting systems the context they need to act with greater speed and accuracy than manual picking.

03. Dynamic adjustments

Create feedback loops from ballistic, screening and pneumatics performance to incrementally adjust parameters for efficiency improvements. Equipment calibrates itself based on its own output data, closing the loop between measurement and action.

04. Compaction & traceability

Track final product purity entering your baler, control pressures automatically, and tag bales to increase traceability throughout the logistics chain. Every bale is labelled with the composition data that underpins its commercial value.

"Greyparrot's Analyzer captures high-resolution images of material flows in real time, using AI models trained on millions of waste objects. This information activates our SORTIMAX-IQ precision air jets to separate or retain materials based on the purity goals. With the help of Greyparrot's AI, SORTIMAX-IQ continuously learns from your facility's material flows, improving sorting accuracy with every shift."
