Greyparrot launches live OEE dashboard for recycling facilities

Greyparrot has launched a live AI-based dashboard that tracks overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) at materials and plastics recovery facilities, combining equipment availability, throughput and output quality into a single continuously updated score. The tool is intended to let operators identify and act on losses during a shift rather than reconstructing causes afterwards from separate records. It extends the company's Facility Dashboard, launched in May 2024.

Why this mattersReal-time OEE data lets recovery facilities cut material losses and defend recyclate quality, tightening the supply of recycled feedstock for packaging producers.

• Greyparrot launched the dashboard on 16 September 2026, tracking overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) at materials and plastics recovery facilities
• OEE combines running time, throughput versus design capacity and output quality into a single continuously updated score
• The system uses continuous material composition data instead of weighbridge tickets, downtime logs and periodic bale audits assembled after a shift
• It identifies unplanned stoppages, empty-running conveyors and throughput bottlenecks by line and shift
• The launch follows Greyparrot's Facility Dashboard, announced in May 2024, which tracked sorting performance from conveyor belt data
• Biffa's operational support manager for recycling, Ian McSpirit, is quoted on the product
