ROBrix Uses AI to Grade PCBs Before Shredding
SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 31, 2026 - ROBOne today introduced ROBrix, an AI-powered sorting system that grades waste printed circuit boards (PCBs) by resource value before they are shredded. Already operating at a U.S. recycling facility, ROBrix addresses a longstanding challenge in electronics recycling: valuable circuit boards are often destroyed before recyclers determine what metals or reusable components they contain.As AI infrastructure and data centers expand, growing volumes of electronic equipment will eventually enter the waste stream. Yet conventional PCB recycling often begins by shredding entire boards, making it difficult to determine beforehand which boards contain higher concentrations of valuable metals or components that could potentially be reused.
