Dobot Cobots Power AI-Driven Smartphone Refurbishment at Breezy

Breezy, a subsidiary of the ASBIS Group specializing in the refurbishment and remarketing of second-life IT products, has transformed its smartphone refurbishment process with artificial intelligence and Dobot’s collaborative robots (cobots).

By integrating 18 Dobot Nova cobots into its advanced facility in Poland, Breezy has significantly enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and scalability—setting a new benchmark for sustainable electronics restoration.

Scaling Refurbishment with Smart Automation

Breezy’s AI-powered production line is now capable of grading up to one million devices and refurbishing 320,000 smartphones annually within its 600 m² facility. By leveraging automation, the company has streamlined diagnostics, improved device processing precision, and optimized resource efficiency.

“AI and robotic solutions enable 24/7 operations, scaling grading and upgrading to one million units per year with enhanced accuracy,” said Emil Oklinski, Director of Breezy Poland. “This automation also allows us to offer device grading as a service, ensuring compliance with strict data protection standards.”

How Dobot Cobots Are Transforming Smartphone Refurbishment

By automating critical stages of the refurbishment process, Breezy has reduced manual intervention while improving speed and consistency. The key automation steps powered by Dobot cobots include:

• Decanting and Sorting: Cobots automate the intake process by detecting product models, IMEI, and serial numbers, ensuring precise inventory management.
• AI-Powered Visual Inspection: Dobot MG400 cobots conduct detailed cosmetic assessments, detecting scratches, dents, and imperfections with high accuracy./span>
