AI vision certifying
$200B of steel scrap.

Breven delivers fully automated Edge-AI visual certification for independent metal scrap yards. By scanning ferrous scrap in mid-air during the crane load, the system generates the exact proof you need to fight unfair mill deductions.

Deployed at industry-leading scrap yards across North America

Arming the suppliers first establishes a proprietary data monopoly on localized scrap quality.

Mills hold the proof.
Breven gives it back.

Independent operators forfeit up to 10% of revenue to arbitrary mill deductions on outbound loads. Without verifiable, audit-grade proof of what shipped, every disputed load is a write-off.

Currently, scrap yards lose up to 10% of their revenue when buyers arbitrarily claim delivered scrap was “dirty” (containing copper or explosion hazards).

Breven detects macro-contaminants (like electric motors or sealed cylinders) and generates an irrefutable “Certified Clean” digital photo-log that is timestamped, hash-signed, and bounded for every single scoop.

Platform Architecture

Three steps. Zero ambiguity.

Loading zone to auditor's desk — one hardened pipeline, engineered for the yard floor.

01
Days, not quarters
Breven edge camera deployed at a scrap yard load zone

Deploy

Breven hardware integrates with existing yard infrastructure: gantry, conveyor, or crane line. Edge-deployed in days, not quarters. No cloud dependency required.

02
<200 ms inference
Edge-AI vision detection — bounding box flagged on a copper-bearing scrap component

Detect

Proprietary vision models classify electric motors, sealed cylinders, copper-bearing items, and tramp elements in every scoop. Sub-200ms inference, fully on-prem.

03
Audit-grade · ERP-native

Certify

Generate audit-grade certification reports: hash-signed, timestamped, and tamper-evident, bound to every outbound shipment. Defensible at every audit.

System Specifications

Built for the yard.
Not the cloud.

Every Breven terminal is a sealed industrial appliance: NVIDIA Jetson silicon, ruggedized IP65 housing, and a vision pipeline engineered to operate when yard connectivity does not.
