National Recovery Technologies

NRT is a leader in designing, manufacturing and installing optical sorting technology. That is the short version of National Recovery Technologies. In practice that means connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

It makes the most sense for manufacturers and operators. Alongside the main category they mention Industrial Automation, Industrial Manufacturing, Manufacturing and Recycling. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

National Recovery Technologies is based in Nashville, Tennessee and around since 1981. Their site is nrtsorters.com.

Things worth asking about: hardware compatibility, uptime, and support. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with National Recovery Technologies, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
