Expanding on this, the ideal integration of IoT into the recycling pipeline would be to equip all machinery with state-of-the-art sensors (prioritizing advanced robotics), and the use of inoperando characterization techniques . In this way, each sequential task of the recycling line would be carefully monitored. Advanced cloud computing power would give the power to take the real-time inputs measured by the sensors and incorporate them into a model that is able to compute the predicted performance based on the received inputs.
