EverestLabs Navigator: First Agentic AI for Recycling

EverestLabs is launching Navigator, a new agentic AI platform. This platform is designed specifically for materials processing, recovery, and recycling facilities. Navigator is the first multi-agent AI system built for this sector. What's interesting is how it works: Navigator uses three layers of AI that haven't operated together before on a facility floor. This includes vision models, vision-language models, and reasoning agents. It provides real-time operational intelligence to plant operators. The platform aims to improve efficiency, throughput, and financial performance for facilities handling plastics, fiber, and metals. It can boost facility throughput by up to 30% and save millions by reducing downtime. Navigator also helps avoid losses to landfills and makes regulatory compliance easier. The bottom line is that this technology can significantly upgrade the largely undigitized $6 trillion global materials economy sector.
