STADLER Digital Solutions

STADLER is transforming recycling plant efficiency with its digital solutions specifically tailored for sorting plants with a focus on optimising operations. Through its comprehensive cloud-based platform STADLERconnect, the company offers recycling and sorting plants a single-access-point solution for its digital products, helping them unlock the full potential of machine and material data to drive impactful operational improvements. It is designed to deliver added value to recycling plants of all types and sizes and offers customized views for both operators and management.

With digital solutions taking on an increasingly critical role in the recycling industry, STADLER has made it a core strategic priority – both in its operations and in the sorting plants it designs.

Julia Stadler, Chief Digital Officer, explained: “At STADLER, we view digital solutions as crucial for maximising the performance of recycling plants, positioning them as a core part of our innovation leadership. Our strategy centres on sustaining our role as the market leader and a pioneer in designing and building turnkey recycling facilities.”

Predictive Maintenance, one of the STADLERconnect modules, enables a proactive approach to equipment maintenance with the help of sensors, providing operators with instant alerts on any critical changes in sensor data before potential issues arise. This early warning capability allows for immediate inspections, minimising costly production delays and reducing the risk of sudden breakdowns.

In developing its digital solutions, STADLER has pursued a twofold objective: delivering added value by using key data insights to enhance plant operations, and applying these insights to improve both plant design and after-sales service. 

“Our digital solutions are purpose-built for sorting plants, directly addressing the needs of plant operators,” said Julia Stadler. “Leveraging our extensive OEM expertise, we ensure greater accuracy in areas such as determining conveyor equipment status. Our team combines software development and engineering expertise. This approach goes beyond simple data collection and visualisation: our solutions leverage new and existing data points to drive meaningful operational improvements.”

STADLER’s portfolio of digital solutions can be accessed through STADLERconnect. This cloud-based platform harnesses machine and material data to maximise the availability, performance and overall process efficiency of sorting plants.

Powered by real-time plant data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), STADLERconnect is an integrated solution that adapts to varied plant configurations and needs.

By automating various parts of the plant, STADLERconnect improves operational performance while reducing the workload for operators. STADLER’s material analysis tools increase transparency on both quantity and quality. This enables consistent product quality while reducing the need for costly manual quality checks. Additionally, the company’s digital maintenance solutions make service events more predictable and enable rapid responses to unforeseen issues, minimising downtime.

STADLERconnect is designed to adapt to the evolving needs of recyclers, with regular updates, and feature and security enhancements to all modules provided at no additional cost to customers.
