What is HoloLab?

HoloLab is a new and revolutionary system which improves your recycling rates by monitoring in real time disposed products. This helps recycling companies and businesses reduce waste costs, improve sustainability, optimize operations, and boost environmental impact by providing instant insights into disposed products.

Increase recycling revenues

HoloLab is a smart monitoring service designed for recycling plants, providing real-time insights into waste streams, machine performance, and material recovery rates. By using advanced data analytics, HoloLab helps operators quickly detect inefficiencies, reduce contamination, and optimize processing lines for maximum output. The platform delivers actionable intelligence that boosts recycling rates, lowers operational costs, and ensures compliance with sustainability standards, empowering facilities to operate more efficiently while contributing to a cleaner environment.

Monitor recycling rates

Track waste or products as they enter and exit the conveyor belt to know in real time how many are being effectively recycled. See this data in real time in an interative map, export it for further processing, generate dashboards, etc

Increase revenue

HoloLab increases revenue by helping recycling plants cut operational costs, recover more valuable materials, and qualify for green incentives—translating into millions in savings and additional income each year.

Know your consumer better

HoloLab also provides FMCG companies with unique and unheard of consumption data. This is different from sales data in that it comes from after the product has been consumed. This allows for example to know the areas where a competitor is selling its products. Also, by comparing it with sales data, it identifies missing sales, storage time, etc. Finally, it reduces churn from newly launched products. In fact, 85% of newly launched products fail because of improper use of regular sales data to predict consumer patterns

Monitor

See in real time your products when they are disposed, along with date and gender of the consumer

Export data

Export HoloLab's post-sales data and compare it with your sales data to find untapped sales spots, reduce stock and churn, etc

Train robots to work in recycling

Robots are here to stay and TeknTrash Robotics created one especifically for recycling: ALPHA - Automated Litter Processing Humanoid Assistant. However, robots need vast amounts of data to learn how to perform their duties. HoloLab is the tool to capture it. To that end, HoloLab captures operators movements and saves them in the popular LeRobot format. This can be later fed into VLA - Vision Language Action models such as Nvidia's Isaac Gr00t in robots to replicate those movements

What is ALPHA?

ALPHA, or Automated Litter Processing Humanoid Assistant is the world's first humanoid designed especifically to work in all aspects of waste handling. A product of TeknTrash Robotics, ALPHA initially works alongside the conveyor belt picking up waste, effectively replacing humans in a labour dangerous, unsanitary, and degrading

Robot training

Robots are actively being used in the recycling industry, but training them requires vast amounts of movement data. HoloLab was designed to fill in that gap. By capturing operator movements in real time through headsets such as Meta Quest 3, HoloLab helps companies in various activities such as waste carrying, policing, receving people, etc

Know more

HoloLab captures data using cameras, mobiles, headsets, etc, processes it, and generates metrics critical in recycling and consumer management. Its 4 step process is quick and straightforward:

1 - Register wasted products

Register wasted products you want us to track. They will be fed into our AI system so they can be located at disposal sites

2 - Create tracking campaigns

Create campaigns with the geographical area you want those products located when disposed

3 - Register data sources

Register where do you plan to obtain data for your campaign. It can be cameras on your recycling plant, headsets there too, even mobile phones

4 - Monitor, export, and visualize data

Monitor in real time registered products as they are located and see it in a map along with time+date, geographical location, age, and gender of that consumer. Export data and create compelling visualizations to increase recycling, reduce consumer churn, find untapped sales locations, reduce stock, etc

Frequently Asked Questions

HoloLab is a system to increase recycling and learn about consumer patterns by tracking consumer products at waste sites

Increasing recycling and preventing consumer churn are the main ones

1 - Increasing recycling. Recycling plants have very poor data about how much they are actually recycling. HoloLab provides granular data such as the amount recycled per worker, thus increasing recycling and hence profits

2 - Reducing consumer churn. Just because a product has been sold does not mean it has been consumed. This means a lost customer. HoloLab prevents consumer churn by understanding the reasons why customers do not consume a product they paid for

3 - Introducing robots in the recycling. Robots are being actively used in recycling, but they require training before being deployed, and for that they require data. HoloLab captures that data from operatives as they perform their duties

60% of FMCG brands’ digital marketing spend is wasted – resulting in annual losses of close to $50bn for the industry: 27bn saw a negative return and ROI on the remaining $8bn wasn’t even measured. Also, more than 80% of all the 30,000 new consumer products launched per year fail.

And why? Simply because they lack post sales data. Instead, they depend on sales data to calculate the next batch. But this is the worst type of data for a new product!

For, the fact a product was sold to a wholesaler or even to a direct consumer channel such as a supermarket does not mean it would be sold again, as it could be that the end consumers did not like the product and will not repeat the purchase. Thus, the next batch, depending solely on the number of products sold initially, ends up being too large.

Thus creating an unnecesary expense in a batch which will not be fully sold, unsold stock which will not be sold as sometimes it has an expiration date, return and storage costs, etc

HoloLab can capture any video source in RTSP format. There are very detailed instructions on how to provide a video feed, or we can offer a competitive price to implement cameras at any site
