The “one billion” milestone means that AMP’s technology has specifically targeted and removed one billion individual recyclable items from billions of other materials in the waste stream. This milestone also illustrates the power of the company’s AMP Neuron™ AI platform that uses computer vision and machine learning to recognize different colors, textures, shapes, sizes, patterns, and even brand labels to identify exactly what the material is and whether it is recyclable. Neuron then guides robots to consistently perform sorting tasks more than twice as quickly as humanly possible, with much greater accuracy, and over long durations of time.
AMP’s technology has swiftly pivoted to handle sudden shifts in material volumes, happening now as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, to recover high-demand materials, like paper, tissue, cardboard, and other packaging. This capability is especially critical as demand and prices for commodities fluctuate, given the role recyclables play in feeding the domestic supply chain for manufacturing.
