Physical intelligence for waste, recycling and heavy industry. Visia detects, tracks and analyses the material moving through your facility in real time.

We build AI systems for metals, recycling, energy, and logistics operators, giving them real-time visibility into the material events that drive risk, cost, and throughput. Visia powers more than 10 million detections every day.

What continuous vision changes on the ground:

- Hazard and contamination detection: batteries, propane tanks, contaminants, and non-conforming loads caught before they cause damage. Real-time detection that isn't just reactive.
- Operational data: burden depth, composition tracking, throughput, near misses. The operational data that actually moves the needle on capital planning and daily efficiency.
- Compliance: manual spot checks miss things. Continuous monitoring doesn't. Weight audits, LEED documentation, and grade verification running 24/7 and audit-ready when you need it.

What customers say:

- "Battery fires are the single biggest problem in our industry. A Visia system at every facility in the country will soon be a no-brainer." — CEO, Premier Recycle Company
- "I've been impressed with Visia's sheer speed of work. Something I thought would take years has taken a matter of months." — Director of Finance and Technology, Colt Recycling
- "Material characterization is vital for optimizing our business, addressing recycling challenges, and improving customer communication. Visia partners with Casella to develop effective solutions tailored to our needs." — Operations Initiatives Manager, Casella Waste Systems

## Platform: Solstice (https://www.visia.ai/platform)

Solstice is Visia's AI platform for physical operations: real-time detection, monitoring and analytics tuned to your facility — your unique AI playbook.

Not a hardware install — an operational upgrade. Solstice deploys into your existing infrastructure and starts generating value across operations.

How it works:

1. Connect or deploy sensing systems. Connect existing camera systems, X-ray units, LiDAR, or other sensor feeds — or deploy purpose-built hardware where fidelity demands it. Solstice meets your infrastructure where it is.
2. Material intelligence. Our VLM-based models identify, classify, and reason about every piece of material moving through your operation — autonomously, in real time, without human review loops. Our models don't just detect. They reason.
3. Continuous improvement. Every material interaction trains the system. Cross-sector learning means each new deployment makes every existing one faster, more accurate, and more capable.

Built different, by design:

- Multi-modal and VLM-native
- Always the right solution for your application: the unit of repeatability is the playbooks built with customers, not a sensor SKU. Hardware is selected based on what the application actually requires, without vendor lock-in.
- Delivered through our Approach

What Solstice delivers:

- Real-time classification and tracking
- Automated contamination detection
- Composition analysis without manual review
- Hazard detection before equipment damage, with pre-incident alerts to operators
- Consistent grading across shifts
- Deduction automation tied to scale systems
- Compliance monitoring 24/7
- Cross-facility benchmarking
- Shared learnings that improve every site

## Approach (https://www.visia.ai/approach)

Real operational change requires more than technology. Visia field engineers embed with your facility and engineer intelligence directly into its workflows.

Why our approach matters: all industrial operations are a miscellany — a mix of systems, embedded processes, and people. Operations are living systems; intelligence must integrate; transformation requires partnership. Intelligence deployed without this fails.

The process:

1. Operational discovery: embed with operators to map real workflows, document decision points where intelligence adds value, define success metrics with your team, and identify integration touchpoints in existing systems.
2. Deploy intelligence where it matters: install sensors at high-leverage intervention points and build custom playbooks for your material types and workflows.
3. Integrate: connect Solstice to your operational systems.
4. Improve: operator training and change management, ongoing support and system optimization, continuous model improvement from cross-site learning, and replication of proven playbooks across facilities.

## Case Studies (https://www.visia.ai/case-studies)

### Premier Recycle (https://www.visia.ai/case-studies/premier-recycle)

Premier Recycle has delivered C&D hauling and recycling services across the Bay Area since 1992, helping builders meet sustainability goals and stay ahead of evolving regulations.

- Before: clipboards, spreadsheets, 80 hours per month of manual compliance work
- After: one mobile app, instant compliance reports
- Results: ~80 operational hours saved per month, 100% of audit reports automated, 98%+ material classification accuracy

### Rumpke (https://www.visia.ai/case-studies/rumpke-operations)

Family-owned since 1932, Rumpke is a leader in sustainable waste and recycling across the Midwest.

- Before: a $10M fire, manual sorting, catastrophic risk
- After: autonomous detection, instant alerts, zero guesswork
- Results: ~60 hazards per day caught before reaching the shredder, zero fires since the Solstice deployment, 24/7 monitoring with no human oversight required

### PedalPoint Electronics (https://www.visia.ai/case-studies/pedalpoint-electronics)

PedalPoint is a national e-scrap processor committed to high-volume, secure, and sustainable electronics recycling.

- Before: hidden risks everywhere in high-volume electronics
- Results: 10–30 hazardous items removed per load, 300% increase in sorting throughput, 67% reduction in QC staffing

### Amerigo Metals (https://www.visia.ai/case-studies/amerigo-metals)

Amerigo Metal Recycling operates a ferrous scrap processing facility just south of Atlanta, preparing mixed metal through pre-shredding and main-shredder separation.

- Before: pressurized tanks hidden in a fast-moving material stream
- After: always-on vision at the point where intervention matters
- Results: 24/7 continuous pre-shred monitoring, real-time pressurized tank detection, intervention before processing

### Ferrous Processing & Trading (https://www.visia.ai/case-studies/ferrous-processing-trading)

Ferrous Processing & Trading is a Cleveland-Cliffs subsidiary and one of North America's premier scrap-metal processors. FPT operates 26 recycling facilities across North America and works with more than 3,000 suppliers, manufacturers, and industry partners.

- Before: varying grades and composition made inbound procurement difficult to characterize and reconcile consistently at scale
- After: mass-based composition characterization, continuous hazard monitoring, and real-time deduction evidence
- Results: real-time deduction automation and inventory reconciliation within 2–4% error by mass

## About (https://www.visia.ai/about)

The heavy supply chains in the world operate without real-time intelligence — leaving leaders to manage hundreds of facilities, millions of tons of material, and significant risk without knowing exactly what is moving through their operations.

The cost of not seeing: a single lithium battery ignites a $5M fire. A contaminated load shuts down production. A missed anomaly triggers days of unplanned downtime.

Visia builds the infrastructure that gives the physical operations world the same real-time intelligence the digital world has had for decades. Through the Solstice platform, we give operations leaders something they've never had: physical intelligence — full visibility into every material event, as it happens.

How it is built:

- We install cameras, X-ray systems and advanced imaging technology throughout your facility. Cameras and X-ray systems built for the toughest environments.
- Every material event is captured and analyzed as it happens across your facility.
- Instant detection and alerts empower your team to act before issues escalate.
- Seamless integration, minimal disruption, maximum impact where it matters most.
