ROBOTIC SORTING

Sortiq

Tone and caliber sorting, done by robots.

Robotic sorting, packing, and palletizing that consumes Vitreo grades to build consistent commercial batches every shift.

The problem

Sorting is manual, scarce, and drifts

After firing, tile and ceramic pieces must be sorted by tone, caliber, and quality grade, still a massive, manual, error-prone job done by scarce, aging sorters whose judgment drifts across shifts. Mis-sorts ship inconsistent product to customers, trigger returns, and force downgrades. Fixed-threshold sorters can't match a skilled human on subtle tone, and none handle robotic pick, sort, and pack as one adaptive workcell.

The solution

Robotic sorting and packing as one workcell

Sortiq consumes Vitreo's per-piece tone, caliber, and quality grades and drives robots to sort, box, and palletize pieces into consistent commercial batches, matching and exceeding skilled human sorters, at line speed, every shift. It commissions new formats and pack patterns in Isaac simulation before touching a piece.

Capabilities

What Sortiq does

Robotic workcell on Jetson Orin with Isaac, driven by Vitreo per-piece grades.

Grade-driven sorting

Sorts by tone, caliber, and quality from Vitreo's grades.

Pack & palletize

Builds consistent commercial batches, boxed and palletized.

Sim commissioning

New formats and pack patterns validated in Isaac first.

Impact

Uniform lots, every shift

Line speed sorting that matches and exceeds skilled humans
Fewer mis-sorts, returns, and downgrades
Uniform commercial batches by tone and caliber
In the ecosystem

How Sortiq connects

Sortiq is an act layer of the loop, paired with Glazio. It consumes Vitreo's grades directly and drives robots to build uniform lots, turning perception into consistent, shippable product.

Deployment

Getting Sortiq live

A paid pilot on one line, a hard metric, then expansion.

Cell integration

Connect sort, pack, and palletize robots to Sortiq.

Pattern library

Commission formats and pack patterns in Isaac simulation.

Grade-driven run

Sortiq sorts and packs from live Vitreo grades.

Consistent output

Uniform tone and caliber lots ship every shift.

“Returns from mis-sorted shade used to be a monthly conversation. Sortiq builds the same lot every shift.”

Sortiq FAQ

Answers for plant leaders

Does Sortiq need Vitreo?
Sortiq acts on per-piece grades, and Vitreo is the perception system that produces them. Together they form the perceive-and-act half of the loop for sorting.
Can it handle our pack patterns?
Yes. New formats and pack patterns are commissioned in Isaac simulation before the robot runs, so changeovers are validated in advance.
Will it match our best sorters?
Sortiq is designed to match and exceed skilled human sorters on subtle tone and caliber, consistently, every shift.
