From concept to global deployment
Tallinn is Reconext’s dedicated R&D hub — a complete engineering site with software, electronics, and mechatronics engineers working alongside project managers, build technicians, and technical support. With design, build, and support functions under one roof, the center can take a solution from first sketch to production-ready deployment across the Reconext network.
Innovation with global impact
Tallinn has become the launch point for many of Reconext’s most transformative technologies. The team has:
Advanced CPE automation — deploying Titan 3, next-gen RCU testers, and automated cleaning systems that scaled throughput across high-volume service centers.
Pioneered AI inspection — building Optiline platforms now deployed in multiple recovery programs, with dozens of units operating worldwide.
Delivered rollouts — from SpectrumX diagnostics and secure erasure to fully automated receiving lines and robotic cleaning systems for laptops across global facilities.
Our role in Reconext
Design automation systems
Robotics to AI-driven diagnostics, purpose-built for electronics recovery.
Develop test platforms
Custom hardware/software solutions for storage, CPE, mobile, and more.
Prototype & build
Machine development, from component reuse to deployment.
Support global rollouts
Integration, IT support, and tuning to meet site needs.

Simulation & delivery
Digital twins and 3D simulation (NVIDIA Omniverse) to accelerate NPI and AI training; project management from concept to deployment.
Always-on protection for customer IP
As an R&D center, Tallinn focuses security on safeguarding customer samples and proprietary platforms, ensuring innovations remain protected from first design through global rollout.
Controlled access
Badge entry across all labs, build areas, and offices.
Sample custody
Strict procedures for handling customer hardware and prototypes.
IP protection
All solution IP is retained within Reconext and safeguarded through ISO 9001–certified design and build processes.
Chain of custody
From concept to deployment, every prototype, dataset, and fixture is traceable.
Environmental responsibility
Tallinn embeds circularity directly into its engineering practice. Components from end-of-life hardware are reused in new machine builds, offices operate paperless by default, and waste is sorted and recycled under Estonia’s strict regulations. These practices ensure the site contributes to Reconext’s broader ESG commitments while reducing footprint at every stage of innovation.
Reuse of components from retired hardware in new builds
Operate paperless by default
Waste sorting and recycling under Estonia’s regulations
Aligned with Reconext’s ISO 14001 environmental management system
Specialists at the intersection of software, hardware, and design
Tallinn brings together software, electronics, and mechatronics engineers supported by build technicians, project managers, and technical staff. The team’s academic depth — including PhDs in AI, physics, and electronics — combines with hands-on experience to deliver practical solutions that scale across Reconext’s global network. It’s a small team with global reach, shaping solutions used across continents.
A look inside
Rooted in Estonia’s tech ecosystem
Tallinn is a founding member of the Estonian Electronics Association and partners closely with Tallinn Technical University. By collaborating with local RF and embedded electronics firms, the center taps into one of Europe’s most advanced digital economies. These partnerships feed directly into Reconext’s global innovation pipeline, ensuring new platforms are grounded in both academic rigor and industrial know-how.
