Sortera Technologies

Sortera Technologies (formerly Sortera Alloys) is an AI-driven metals recycling company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Markle / Fort Wayne, Indiana. It combines sensor fusion (XRF plus optical), machine-learning image and data analytics, and an advanced high-throughput scrap feeder to sort end-of-life scrap by metal type and alloy composition, upgrading feedstock streams and removing contaminants at industrial scale. From a 200,000 square foot sortation facility opened in 2023 the company produces specification aluminum scrap across cast, extrusion and sheet fractions - including 380, 356, 319 and wrought grades such as 3105 - and sells it back into domestic manufacturing. Its stated vision is 100% reuse of metals recovered from end-of-life products. The artificial intelligence runs inside Sortera's own sorting lines as an in-house platform; the product sold is recycled metal, not software, and the company publishes no public API, SDK, developer portal or machine-readable specification.

Sortera Technologies is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Recycling, Metals, Manufacturing, and Artificial Intelligence.

Sortera Technologies’ developer surface includes product news and 7 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/sortera-alloys: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    published sitemap.xml enumerates only marketing, team, careers and press pages, with /developers, /api and /docs returning
    404 and no api., docs. or developer. subdomain resolving in DNS.
