SortLab — 3D Recycling Sorter Simulator

Run a virtual recycling-sorting line, inspect sensor evidence and review editable equipment, material, BOM and cost assumptions.

What this tool does

SortLab is an offline interactive engineering prototype. It simulates a mixed material stream moving through a six-destination sorting line, with virtual sensing, configurable material profiles, HMI controls, batch results, event logs, a bill of materials and planning estimates.

Who this is for

How to use this tool

  1. Choose an equipment preset and inspect the virtual station layout
  2. Start or step the simulation, or queue a mixed batch for processing
  3. Adjust playback speed, feed demand, belt speed and confidence threshold
  4. Edit material profiles, equipment settings and visible view layers as needed
  5. Review purity, recovery, event logs, BOM and cost panels, then save locally or export project, BOM, I/O and results files

Inputs

The simulator accepts preset selection, playback speed, run/step/reset/e-stop controls, feed rate, belt speed, confidence threshold, view-layer toggles, equipment settings, material profiles, batch items, BOM edits and local project files.

Outputs

The page renders a 3D virtual sorter and HMI, reports processed items, throughput, accepted purity, recovery by material, alarms and event history, and calculates editable CAD planning allowances. Results are simulated and do not control real equipment or validate a production line.
