Technology Solutions for Scrap Metal Recycling Operations
Turning Waste Into Opportunity — Securely and Efficiently
The scrap metal recycling industry operates in some of the harshest business environments imaginable. This create unique technology challenges that standard IT solutions simply can't handle.
Specialized Industry Solutions
We design and install network systems built for your environment. Our solutions include rigid conduit protection for cables, strategic switch placement to overcome distance limitations, and fanless, sealed switches that resist dust infiltration and last significantly longer than standard equipment.
Instead of requiring operators at each scale location, we can digitize your entire weighing operation. By converting scale serial connections to TCP/IP and implementing strategic camera placement, one operator in a central scale house can manage multiple scales across your entire yard.
Rather than maintaining expensive on-site servers and desktops that frequently fail in harsh conditions, we migrate your operations to the cloud. This reduces your per-computer costs from $1,400 to $300-400 while eliminating concerns about local hardware failures and data loss.
For operations that require on-site equipment, we provide dual computer setups at critical locations. When one system fails, simply plug in the backup unit and resume operations immediately with automatic login and software initialization.
We audit your current internet services and often find significant savings opportunities. Many operations paying $1,500+ monthly for slow DSL connections can upgrade to gigabit fiber with backup lines for under $600 monthly.
Strategic camera placement throughout your yards serves dual purposes: deterring theft and providing operational oversight to prevent accidents and ensure proper procedures. Our systems integrate with your management software for complete operational visibility.
IP phone systems replace expensive analog POTS lines, providing unlimited inbound call capacity for pricing inquiries and eliminating per-minute charges. When customers call for current aluminum or catalytic converter prices, your staff can handle multiple calls simultaneously.
Even with backup internet connections, catastrophic failures can occur. Our cloud-based solutions include mobile hotspot capabilities, allowing operations to continue using smartphones for connectivity while maintaining access to all critical systems.
Most technology providers don't understand the unique demands of scrap metal recycling. They offer generic solutions that only work in a clean room and don't address your specific operational requirements like scale integration, commodity price sensitivity, and regulatory compliance.
We specialize in recycling operations. We understand that you're running a high-volume, low-margin business where uptime directly impacts profitability. Our solutions are designed specifically for outdoor industrial environments and the unique workflows of scrap metal processing.
