Anthony Butchbaker founded Spartan Scanning Solutions in July 2020. The Indiana-based company offers technology solutions such as reality capture and digital twins that are designed to give recycling auto shredder operators and steel mills high-quality data about their operations so they can better control them, improve safety and reduce energy use, to name a few benefits he says the company’s services can help users realize.
From an article in Recycling Today by Deanne Toto.
“Our mission is to revolutionize recycling on a global scale,” he says of Spartan Scanning Solutions. “We believe that this technology is the way forward for many, many industries … and I believe that steel and recycling can act as a catalyst for change and be the lighthouse for change.”
Butchbaker’s looking to start that revolution by educating the industry on reality capture and digital twin technology.
“It’s tough with technology because there is a lot of smoke and mirrors and a lot of marketing fluff around it,” he says. “It’s our job to be able to poke holes and in the fluff and find what is valuable and help our customers solve these problems. It’s our job to bring these solutions to the table and align these technologies with our industry’s challenges.”
Spartan Scanning is in discussions with recycling companies about piloting the company’s technology, he says.
“We’re looking for early adopters, to push this forward. I think the psychology behind recycling is it’s inherently been so hard for so long that I don’t know that people are able to see that there is a better way. I want to improve everybody’s safety, I want to improve their quality of life, I want to improve the quality of our planet. I want to just instill change and help people. This business doesn’t have to be so hard.”
In the following interview, Butchbaker talks about the company’s services and how recyclers and steel mills can potentially benefit from these technologies. Those interested in downloading a copy of the “Decoding Digital Twin Technology Insight Report” by Spartan Scan can click here.
