Dismantling Operator

Takes the hazardous extractions

End-of-life appliances are dismantled by hand — hazardous, repetitive work on units that vary from one appliance to the next. This employee takes over the dangerous steps: locating and extracting high-voltage capacitors and heavy components, on a line where no two units are alike.

• Vision that locates parts it has never seen in that exact brand, position or damage state.
• Three control modes, from full autonomy to direct teleoperation — the operator chooses, the employee executes.
• Cage-free operation compliant with ISO/TS 15066: speed and path continuously adapt to where people are.

First product family: microwave ovens.

Learns new tasks from your operators

On high-mix lines, tasks change faster than robots can be reprogrammed. It watches an experienced operator demonstrate a task, turns it into a recorded task, and executes it only after a person has approved it.

• Records the demonstration on the line — vision, sound and motion.
• Every learned skill passes a human validation gate before it is released.
• Executes under supervision, on the same shared-control base as the extraction work.

Current assignment: memory modules on computer motherboards.

Decides which components are worth recovering

Most end-of-life electronics are processed for bulk material weight — reusable components are destroyed with the scrap. It weighs the value of every component before deciding what gets carefully extracted and what goes to recycling.

• Reads digital product passports and inspects each unit to identify components and their condition.
• Weighs live market value against extraction cost, per component, in real time.
• Directs the robots, then writes the result back to the product passport for traceability.

Current assignment: end-of-life computers — processors, memory and, where worthwhile, graphics cards.

It decides within limits your team sets, and every decision is recorded for review.
