When an AI changes a recycling line, what does the next shift need to know?
Waste Dive reported that EverestLabs is piloting Navigator, a system the company says can combine data from sorters, cameras and other equipment into recommendations, alerts and settings changes. The big question is not whether it can spot contamination faster. It is whether the person starting the next shift can tell what happened without reopening three dashboards. If a line changed overnight, I’d want one plain record: which belt, what material looked wrong, the last normal read, the setting before and after, who approved it, and whether the camera was clear enough to trust. Keep the old setting reachable too. A new shift should not have to play detective before touching a moving line. What is the one detail you would need before trusting an AI-made change to equipment you have to work beside?
