EverestLabs has evolved from robotic sorting to plant-wide operational intelligence for materials recovery facilities (MRFs). With more than 200 active AI and robotics deployments across recycling facilities all over the world, processing diverse material streams, EverestLabs has built one of the industry's largest real-world AI datasets. This dataset, built over 7 years, forms the foundation for its newest innovation, EverestLabs Navigator. Navigator is an agentic AI assistant purpose-built to optimize the operations of recycling facilities. Unlike conventional automation systems that focus on individual pieces of equipment or isolated sorting tasks, Navigator provides a real-time operational intelligence layer across the entire MRF. It continuously monitors material flow, equipment performance, and recovery processes, creating a live digital twin of plant operations that gives operators complete visibility into facility performance. Navigator identifies where valuable recyclables are being lost, where bottlenecks are limiting throughput, and where equipment performance is reducing recovery rates. It then recommends—or autonomously initiates—corrective actions to optimize operations. The result is a smarter, more efficient recycling facility that continuously improves recovery, throughput, and profitability through AI-driven decision-making. Facilities using Navigator can expect measurable operational and financial benefits, including: • 30 to 50 percent higher plant utilization, increasing throughput without additional capital equipment. • $100,000–$500,000 in additional annual revenue through improved recovery of valuable commodities and higher bale quality. • Reduced downtime and recirculation by identifying operational issues before they impact production.
