Tianjin Launches World’s First Fully Automated Material Recovery Facility for Future Materials

In a significant advance towards a circular economy, DataBeyond Technology has successfully designed, built, and inaugurated the Tianjin Baoyuan Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). This pioneering facility sets new standards in the recycling industry through its integration of automation, digitalization, and intelligent systems, showcasing China's capability to lead industry transformation and modernization.

Automation Enhancing Efficiency Through Technology

The Tianjin Baoyuan MRF is equipped with fully automated production lines, providing exceptional recycling processes. Designed to handle a daily processing capacity of 50 tons, this facility far exceeds traditional recovery methods. By employing automated feeding and intelligent sorting systems, it minimizes manual labor, reduces operational costs, and decreases the potential for errors. The advanced optical sorting devices developed by DataBeyond efficiently handle a variety of materials, including high-quality branded bottles, different colored glass bottles, food containers, metals, and various plastics. This not only enhances the sorting speed but also improves the quality of sorted materials, ensuring high-quality resources for downstream processing.

The complete automation of this facility represents a key milestone for the industry, achieving a synergy between the replacement of manpower with machines and streamlining processes to enhance efficiency.

Digitalization Offering Operational Transparency

At the core of the Tianjin Baoyuan MRF lies digitalization, powered by an intelligent billing system that encompasses every stage of the recycling process. This includes weight measurement, pricing, contamination deductions, detailed sorting, data analysis, traceability, aggregation, and storage. Such a robust digital backbone allows for transparent and efficient facility management.

Furthermore, each batch of incoming materials can be traced back to specific suppliers or waste stations, ensuring a transparent and responsible supply chain. The system continuously collects and analyzes data regarding material composition, providing scientific insights that inform production decisions. Comprehensive partner profiles are maintained in digital archives, documenting crucial information such as delivery frequency, material types, and annual volumes, enhancing operations and fostering long-term collaboration.

By embedding digitalization into its operations, the facility transitions from traditional experience-based management to a data-driven approach, promoting both standardization and efficiency within the recycling industry.

Intelligent Systems Providing Market Flexibility

The intelligent systems employed at the Tianjin Baoyuan MRF impart remarkable flexibility, allowing the facility to adapt to changing market demands. The operation of the plant can seamlessly adjust sorting categories and processing types in response to market needs, providing unparalleled adaptability and utility. Intelligent sorting equipment can quickly learn about the characteristics of new waste types by updating their databases, ensuring consistent and precise sorting operations.

The adaptable production capacity of this facility positions it to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market, allowing it to respond swiftly to changes while maintaining a competitive edge.

DataBeyond Technology Leading the Way in Recycling Productivity

The Tianjin Baoyuan MRF stands as a model of success for the recycling industry. By innovatively integrating automation, digitalization, and intelligence, DataBeyond Technology reinforces its leadership in promoting high-quality and seamless processes within the recycling materials sector. This achievement highlights the company's commitment to fostering a resource-efficient society and advancing the growth of the circular economy.
