Recycling facilities run on equipment. When that equipment goes down, everything stops — production, throughput, revenue. And in facilities where staff is stretched thin and conditions are tough, knowing what’s happening with your assets in real time isn’t a luxury. It’s a real operational need.
That’s why Sparta is pleased to announce our partnership with CoGo, a Canadian-based technology company specializing in connected asset monitoring for industrial environments.
Meet CoGo’s ARM Solution
CoGo’s Asset Risk Management (ARM) platform gives recycling facility operators continuous visibility into the health of their critical equipment — balers, conveyors, motors, shredders, hydraulics, pumps, and more.
The system works in three parts: rugged IoT sensors installed directly on equipment, cellular-enabled wireless gateways that collect and transmit data to the cloud, and a web-based portal that delivers alerts and analytics accessible from any device, anywhere.
Setup is fast. CoGo’s “Connect & Go” approach means a fully functioning monitoring system can be operational in hours.
Built for the Conditions Recycling Facilities Actually Work In
CoGo’s sensors are IP67 rated and FM Global Class II certified — designed for the dust, heat, and demanding environments that recycling operations deal with every day. The ARM platform runs 24/7, with configurable alert thresholds and AI-powered self-calibration to flag issues before they become failures.
For facilities under pressure to do more with less staff, ARM can reduce the time spent on manual equipment inspections by up to 90%. It also simplifies compliance reporting and supports health, safety, and environmental risk management — and facilities using the ARM system may be eligible for resilience credits from participating insurers, including FM Global.
A Natural Extension of What Sparta Does
Sparta builds and integrates recycling systems. CoGo keeps them running. Together, we’re able to offer our clients a more complete picture — from the equipment on the floor to the data behind it.
As the recycling industry continues to evolve, operational efficiency and uptime are only becoming more important. This partnership reflects Sparta’s ongoing commitment to bringing our clients the tools and technologies that help them run better facilities.
