About
You’ve heard it said one’s trash is another’s treasure.
At Phuc Labs, we take this statement literally. Most waste streams
contain valuable resources, and our company was founded to sort
and capture it all.
When waste has value, it
transforms from an ecological problem to a financial
opportunity.
The concept of particle separation at
industrial scale has become possible through advancements in
machine learning and computer vision. We digitally sort waste
particle by particle using hydrobotics.
Hydrobotics
uses machine learning and computer vision-powered smart valves to
physically separate particle-based waste.
OUR technology
What Is Hydro-Robotics?
Phuc Labs intelligently sorts limitless variations of
particle-based industrial waste streams using hydrobotics.
Utilizing a fluid-based conveyor system, our computer vision
application analyzes and rapidly sorts the waste stream particle
by particle. Low-value mixed waste is sorted into separate
containment units and packaged for sale.
Those in the
recycling industry are familiar with how workers analyze
single-stream recyclables on a conveyor, sorting plastics, glass,
metals, and paper. The same principle applies, but hydrobotics
utilizes fluid as the conveyor, and computer vision-powered smart
valves to sort. The system operates much more efficiently than a
human and rapidly trains itself as new resources are introduced to
the waste stream.
