MRF Operations Forum 2021
12:00 PM – 01:00 PM ET
Understanding AI
General Session
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is making lots of headlines in the recycling industry these days. This session will help operators understanding precisely what the term means and how A.I. powered technologies might enhance MRF operations.
01:30 PM – 02:30 PM ET
Robotics: The Supplier Perspective
General Session
Sponsored By
Today, everyone is talking robots. Again, we’ll use two panels to help operators understand what they are, what you can expect and how they deliver in a plant environment. A panel of industry suppliers will discuss the newest robotic technology, how it has evolved and how to generate the greatest success and return.

Robotics: The Operator Perspective
General Session
Today, everyone is talking robots. Again, we’ll use two panels to help operators understand what they are, what you can expect and how they deliver in a plant environment. A panel of industry operators using robots will discuss the lessons they have learned implementing robotics into their sorting lines.
04:00 PM – 05:00 PM ET
Compressor Maintenance
General Session
As MRF’s rely more on optical sorters and robots a consistent, clean stream of compressed air is vital to their operation. This session will demonstrate how plant operators can ensure their compressor systems deliver day in and day out with minimal downtime.
12:00 PM – 01:00 PM ET
Feeding Your System
General Session
Often overlooked, but the introduction of your materials stream into the plants processing system is vital to smooth operations. This panel discussion will cover the importance of properly introducing materials into the stream from the tipping floor through the type of equipment used at each stage.
01:30 PM – 02:30 PM ET
