NEW INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM ENGINEERED BY MACHINEX LAUNCHING AT IFAT 2026

Plessisville, April 9^th, 2026 – Machinex will introduce a new AI platform at IFAT Munich 2026 (May 4 to 8, Germany), marking a significant step forward in how intelligence is deployed across modern recycling systems. Building on decades of expertise in designing high-performance sorting facilities, the company is moving beyond individual autonomous technologies and bringing intelligence to the system level.

Intelligence Shaping Advanced Sorting Operations
As sorting facilities face increasing automation, evolving material streams, and rising performance expectations, the need to go beyond standalone technologies has never been greater. Machinex’s new platform launching soon will deliver intelligence where it matters most: material analysis, real-time decision-making, system-wide optimization, and advanced reporting.

As a privately held company, Machinex is guided by a long-term vision, focused on delivering solutions that prioritize performance, reliability, and continuous improvement. Purpose-built for the waste and recycling environment, this new platform empowers operators to better manage system complexity while achieving measurable gains in efficiency and control.

At the same time, the platform responds to growing requirements for traceability and compliance, especially with policies such as extended producer responsibility (EPR) and deposit return systems, impacting the recycling landscape.

In parallel, Machinex will also launch an additional technology at IFAT, expanding its portfolio. This AI-based sorting equipment provides a new operational lever to deliver system performance while further advancing Machinex’s line of advanced sorting technologies.

“As sorting technology experts, we are driven by long-term innovation. One of our core values at Machinex is passion. We channel it into developing solutions that bring ideas to life and inspire our teams to push boundaries. With this new platform, we are introducing an intelligence that unlocks new opportunities for sorting system operators,” explains Jean-Michel Paré, Assistant Managing Director, Machinex.

“AI is not new. What’s new is a unified, system-wide intelligence, powered by a single accountable supplier” says Chris Hawn, CEO of Machinex Technologies. “At Machinex, we focus on delivering solutions that go beyond promises, solutions that are ready to generate real, measurable results. After all, our motto is Experience Results!”

Expanding an Integrated Technology Portfolio
Over the years, Machinex has built a strong reputation for designing and manufacturing its technologies in-house. This new platform represents the next step in Machinex’s innovation journey, expanding its portfolio and working alongside solutions such as the MACH Hyspec® optical sorter, the SamurAI™ sorting robot, and MACH Vision™.

Together, these technologies reinforce a unified approach to improving performance across the entire sorting process.

Join us at Hall B5 Booth 335 starting May 4, at IFAT 2026 to discover how Machinex’s new intelligence platform is shaping advanced sorting operations.
