The Single Source of Truth for Mineral Waste.​

Where estimates were once made, Optocycle provides objective real-time data. Our AI technology transforms construction waste from a black box into a transparent resource – audit-proof, automated, and seamlessly integrated into your existing processes..

01 
See with INA


Our Optical Sensing. 

For extreme demands and the highest accuracy. Our versatile Edge Device INA is the centerpiece of an intelligent material flow analysis. It combines up to four cameras, NIR functionality, spotlights, and powerful integrated computing power in a compact system. INA is universally applicable – whether over trucks, on conveyor belts, directly on the construction site, or over piles.

02
Understand with GAIA


Our most advanced AI model. 

For the perfect analysis of material flow. GAIA is our proprietary, self-learning AI model that transforms the raw data collected by INA into usable information. As the core of intelligent material flow analysis, GAIA specializes in precisely classifying even the smallest material components, reliably detecting contaminants, and continuously improving classification accuracy.

03
Manage with MIP


Our Material Intelligence Platform.

The platform provides a single source of truth for managing all material data. All relevant information is permanently archived and analyzed. The platform features simple and seamless API integration and an intuitive web dashboard. This makes MIP the ideal foundation for transparent, future-proof, and data-driven material evaluation.

Plug & Play

Installation in a few hours. No downtime. Ready for use immediately.

Up to 5x more value creation

High-quality material recovery instead of basic utilization.

0 Waiting Time

Analysis in flowing traffic ("Zero Touch") for maximum throughput.

100% Objectivity

A standard for all – data-driven, transparent, and unassailable.

I spy with my little eye


Our technology distinguishes not only numerous EWC classes but also the most important attributes such as grain size, edge lengths, and contaminants. Additionally, it's adjustable to customers specific needs and materials.

Truck Imager Belt Imager Heap Imager Train Imager Self Scan

Truck Imager

Transparency at the scale. Identify material flows upon arrival.

Everything worth knowing about the deliveries: fully automated and in real time. The Truck Imager scans the load directly at the weighbridge or in the entrance area. No more discussions or subjective estimates.​

Belt Imager

Efficiency on the line. Continuous quality control of the material flow for maximum value creation.

The Belt Imager shows exactly what is moving. Our AI-powered detection precisely identifies which material is on the conveyor belts. This knowledge enables active optimization of processing to extract the maximum from the material.​

Heap Imager

My Heaps don't lie. Precise volume and material analyses in real time.

The Heap Imager looks closely when the material is most visible: during the unloading process. It analyzes the flow of material in motion as it is tipped from the truck or wheel loader. This also allows for the detection of contaminants that were hidden within the load.

Train Imager

Rail logistics. Keep an eye on car conditions and cargo.

The Train Imager automatically captures both: the condition of the wagon and the loaded material. It documents every entry seamlessly while passing through. This saves manual inspections in the track area and provides immediate objective data for dispatch and quality assurance.



Self Scan

Delivery via app. The digital gateway for drivers.

The Self Scan turns the smartphone into a terminal. Through an intuitive web app, drivers independently navigate the process: from scanning the QR code to the AI check to the digital delivery note. Tedious office paperwork and long waiting times at the weighbridge are eliminated.​​

FAQ

Subjective estimates are replaced by objective facts. This increases material purity, creates a transparent data foundation for billing, and minimizes costly contractual disputes. In short: costs drop due to the reduction of losses, risk surcharges, and conflicts.

We offer the solution as a Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) model to avoid high upfront costs. The costs consist of two components:

  1. One-time fees: An installation fee (based on complexity) as well as potential development costs, should highly specific customizations to existing systems be required.
  2. Ongoing PaaS fee: A monthly charge that includes the use of hardware, software updates, and access to the data platform.

We take the decisive step beforehand: Optocycle analyzes the physical composition of each individual load – directly upon delivery and in real time. Instead of random estimates, 100% transparency is created. We provide the data foundation for active material flow management, seamlessly integrated into the processes of the recycling yard.

Our systems are already in use at leading companies in the German recycling and construction materials industry. Our reference customers include Heinrich Feeß GmbH & Co. KG, Otto Dörner GmbH & Co. KG, and Blasius Schuster GmbH & Co. KG.

We recognize 19 EWC Classes (like Concrete, Wood, Soil, Mixed Mineral Construction Waste and Gravel) plus 9 attributes, including Grain Size, Purity, Volume and Edge Lenght.

The camera must be mounted exclusively at the correct angle in a suitable location and requires a stable internet connection in addition to power.

Our camera systems are flexibly installed at the key points of the operation – whether at the vehicle scale, above a conveyor belt, or at a dumping site. The effort is minimal, is usually handled by our customers themselves, and typically takes only a few minutes.
