AI‑driven camera sorting is moving into practical plant‑floor tools for ITAD and electronics recyclers. Early systems like Apple’s A.R.I.S. show that low‑cost vision models running on commodity hardware can drive pneumatic sorters at line speed and deliver high‑purity metal and PCB streams, suggesting that facilities which start piloting these techniques now will gain a structural edge on recovery, cost, and specification compliance over the next three to five years.
