Glacier DataMap
See your entire MRF.
Know exactly where to act.
See what’s happening across your MRF in real time. Know when equipment is running but material isn’t moving, catch problems sooner, and get more tons through every shift.

Blended results from Glacier DataMap customer deployments
Your MRF is producing data every second. Most of it disappears.
Every shift is full of moments that cost you production: belts that stop, belts that run empty, lines that overload, commodities that slip into residue, and equipment running without productive material.
Operators have had to piece together what happened through downtime logs, spreadsheets, cameras, radio calls, and walking the floor. Short stops rarely make it into the log at all.
DataMap measures what is actually happening.
How it works
A complete picture of your operation
01
See
AI scanners continuously observe material flow across critical points in the facility.
02
Understand
DataMap turns those observations into a live picture of productive runtime, material flow, stops, and recovery.
03
Act
Your team gets the alerts and evidence it needs to respond immediately, with a clear owner and a record of what happened, plus the historical context to make better operational decisions over time.
Glacier’s vision system classifies 50+ categories representing 90% of typical curbside commodities.
What you get
One view of what’s happening across your MRF
01
Find lost production
Just because your equipment is running doesn’t mean you’re processing material. See where production time is being lost, and how to get it back.
02
Catch problems while they’re happening
Know when a belt is empty, a downstream process is starved, material flow changes, and get it to the right person without waiting for the end of the shift. Don’t find yesterday’s problem in tomorrow’s report.
03
See where material is going
Every recyclable that ends up in residue costs you twice: once to haul it away, and again in revenue you never got. See what’s in the stream, what’s leaking, and what’s recovered at critical points throughout the facility, by item count, weight, and financial value.
04
Measure whether the fix worked
Changed a screen, adjusted equipment, changed staffing? Compare before and after instead of relying on intuition.
05
Understand every shift
A common record for supervisors and leadership of what happened, for how long, why, and what changed.

What MRF managers and supervisors say
“That’s my brain on paper.”
“Everything I want to know about my shift.”
“No more debating what’s real.”
“I asked for this map when I started.”
Getting started
Start Where it matters most
Built with operators
Developed and validated inside working MRFs.
Any equipment brand
Scanners watch the belts directly, on new or older lines.
No SCADA retrofit
Nothing to rewire in your control system.
We do the setup
We map your facility, install the scanners and onboard your team.
Start small, then expand
Begin at a few critical points and add more as you go.
