Smart Recycling Services
Your Recycling Plant. Your Data. Your Measurable Edge.
With ATM Smart Recycling Services, machine data becomes a concrete economic advantage. The modular IoT platform combines process, energy, maintenance, and efficiency data in a central, intuitive user interface – across locations and in real time, on PC or mobile.
Overview
Two Building Blocks, One Offer
Digitalization package and service contract work hand in hand — identify causes digitally, fix them physically.
Digitalization Package
ATM IoT Portal
- Basic (overview & documents) plus three add-on modules.
- Condition, process, and energy data of your systems in real time.
Service Contract
Annual Service & Wear Parts Management
- Annual maintenance, safety inspection, and priority handling in the event of a malfunction.
- Wear parts at premium customer pricing, price adjustment capped at 3 % per year.
Digital Foundation
One Platform, Three Modules
The basic platform includes the machine overview and central document access – without a base fee. Three powerful modules can be added as needed. For multiple machines, global overviews, location views, and direct comparisons of identical systems are available.
Digital Basic Platform
Machine overview and central document access for all connected systems – the starting point for every module.
Process & Energy
Cycle times, output, and energy consumption linked in real time.
Maintenance & Servicing
Digital maintenance log with traffic-light status, checklists, and a complete history.
Efficiency
Causes of downtime, Pareto analyses, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
Look & Feel
What Your Platform Looks Like
Real view from the ATM IoT portal: fleet overview with location, customer, gateway, and connection status per machine in real time.
From Sensor to Decision
How the Digitalization Works
Four steps from sensor value to action – manufacturer-independent and without any programming knowledge required from the customer.
Machine & PLC
Control system and sensors provide cycle, condition, and energy data.
IoT Gateway
Standard hardware connects via Profinet, MODBUS, or CANBUS – even on older systems.
Cloud Platform
Processing, visualization, and analysis in the ATM IoT Portal.
Decision & Action
Trigger maintenance, clear an alarm, fine-tune the process – fully traceable.
Your benefit: Digitalization without a new machine and without your own IT project – manufacturer-independent, also for third-party and older systems.
Scope of Services
The Three Modules at a Glance
Process & Energy
Performance and Consumption Intelligently Linked
The "Process & Energy" module combines mechanical process metrics with energy measurements. Cycle times, target values, output, unit counts, and energy consumption are continuously recorded and displayed in clear dashboards.
- Real-time comparison of cycle times and target values for shears, presses, and other recycling equipment
- Precise recording of output, unit counts, operating hours, and process parameters
- Overview of total energy consumption as well as consumption per ton or unit
- Comparison of up to three machines using the same process
- Export of charts and data for further analysis
Energy and process data are not viewed in isolation but linked directly to one another. If, for example, energy consumption per ton rises due to dull shear blades or hard-to-process material, this becomes immediately visible – causes are identified faster and operating costs are optimized based on data.
Maintenance & Servicing
Preserve Knowledge, Prevent Downtime
The "Maintenance & Servicing" module transfers the classic maintenance log directly into the machine's digital user interface. It guides plant personnel systematically through all upcoming tasks and creates a complete, traceable maintenance history.
- Intuitive maintenance overview with traffic-light status for due and overdue tasks
- Component-specific ATM checklists based on machine documentation
- Point-by-point sign-off directly at the machine
- Digital history with date, user, completion status, and notes
- Digital repair guides, images, and videos in the respective local language
Instead of relying exclusively on external service technicians or rigid time intervals, ATM empowers your own staff for autonomous maintenance. This reduces dependency on manufacturer support, shortens response times, and supports predictive maintenance planning.
Efficiency
Identify Causes of Downtime and Increase OEE
The "Efficiency" module turns alarm and condition data into a strategic tool for plant management. Individual alarms, technical availability, trends over time, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness are presented in an easy-to-understand format.
- Chronological analysis of individual alarms and fault causes
- Pareto analysis by frequency and downtime duration
- Visualization of technical availability in pie charts and timelines
- Calculation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) from availability, performance, and quality
- Clear decision-making basis for continuous improvement measures
Instead of cryptic error codes, the platform delivers management-ready root cause analyses. This makes it possible to identify whether downtime is caused by, for example, missing material supply, recurring micro-stops, or technical faults – problems are eliminated systematically instead of merely treating symptoms.

Digitalization with a Clear Business Case
What Actually Pays Off in Practice
ATM does not see digitalization as an additional IT cost factor, but as an investment in availability and returns. For a scrap shear with a system value of €900,000, just five additional percentage points of technical availability can enable around 100 additional production hours per year. At an assumed downtime cost of €250 per hour, this corresponds to a potential benefit of €25,000 per year. Compared to example combined package costs of around €5,366, this results in a benefit-to-cost ratio of approximately 4.7 : 1.
Example calculation for illustration purposes. Actual savings and availability gains depend on the system, operating conditions, and production profile.
Lifecycle
A Fair Digital Lifecycle – From the Start
ATM provides the digital basic platform without a base fee – you only invest in the modules you want. Transparency from day one of operation enables fast and well-founded handling of service and warranty cases. Machine conditions and operating data create an objective basis for comprehensibly assessing technical causes or improper use.
The combination of service and digitalization offers additional lifecycle benefits: 15 hours of integrated online support, a 10 % combined discount on the service contract, and exclusive wear-part terms depending on the selected contract model.
