Sorting Bin Prototype

QR-coded sorting bins for real-time material categorisation. Click a bin to simulate a QR scan — the intake form pre-fills and submitting creates a live batch on the dashboard.

How It Works

Click any bin below to simulate a QR scan. The intake form pre-fills with the bin category. Submit to create a real batch in the live pipeline.
