We couldn’t be prouder of the Memphis operation: not because the launch was smooth, but because the team took every challenge as an opportunity to strengthen it. Today, 5010 Tuggle Road operates as a fully scaled enterprise asset recovery and systems processing center built entirely from the ground up. Within five months of go-live, the […]

As we move further into the year, we’re reflecting on how our teams around the world welcomed 2026.   The start of a new year brings more than business goals. It brings traditions, celebrations, and opportunities to reconnect. Across Reconext, employees came together to honor cultural milestones that reflect the diversity and spirit of our global community.    […]

Innovation at Reconext begins with observation. When we see challenges on the floor, we don’t work around them. We turn them into purpose-built solutions, even when that requires creating entirely new technology. Atheris reflects that approach and represents a practical advancement in laptop refurbishment automation. Label and sticker removal from returned devices, especially laptops, has […]

Improving execution starts with visibility. At the Reconext Grapevine facility, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is being implemented in targeted areas to improve operational efficiency and data accuracy.    Improving Inventory Accuracy in the Warehouse   RFID is being introduced in the warehouse to support more accurate, less disruptive cycle counting.  Traditional inventory methods rely on manual […]

Choosing the right reverse logistics partner sets the tone for long-term performance and reliability. It means having confidence that products, data, and materials are handled safely, responsibly, and consistently as programs scale. Trust matters, and it’s built through demonstrated capability, not just stated intent. One of the most reliable ways to evaluate that capability is through certification. Certifications require independent third parties to review, test, […]

Industry events are most valuable when they move beyond vision slides and into honest conversations about constraints. That was the value of the discussions that came out of December’s OCP EMEA Open Day in Nuremberg and the SC25 conference later in the month.  Across both settings, the same themes surfaced again and again. Infrastructure density is […]

Automation does not need to be flashy to be useful. In many warehouses, the biggest gains come from quietly removing friction that everyone has learned to work around.  In December, the Reconext Grapevine site deployed autonomous mobile robots to support routine material movement within the warehouse. The objective was straightforward. Reduce unnecessary manual handling and make daily flow more […]

Reconext teams celebrated Christmas in December across multiple sites. In Texas, the Grapevine and Irving offices held holiday lunches and raffles before the break. Managers from both sites also met earlier in the month for a White Elephant gift exchange breakfast. McAllen ran a Christmas party that included a gift raffle and an event video. […]

Across our sites, November is a month filled with small traditions that bring people together. Some traditions are tied to heritage. Others are tied to gratitude. All of them give a glimpse into the culture that shapes the work behind the scenes.  In Mexico, teams in Mexicali and Mexico City gathered around a familiar pairing of hot chocolate and pan […]

The shift toward circular electronics is happening, but it is not happening evenly. Some companies are far along. Others are still figuring out where to start. The real progress tends to happen when both groups sit in the same room and compare what they are seeing in the field with what they are seeing in the lab.  This […]

On high volume electronics programs, the smoothness of an automation line has a direct impact on everything around it. If the line hesitates, operators feel it. If the flow backs up, quality teams feel it. Customers eventually feel it too. This is why our engineering teams pay close attention to the small details that make these lines run well.  […]

In the world of enterprise servers, every model looks a little different. Ports change. Backplanes shift. Carriers and sleds come and go. These small variations cause friction during onboarding, because each configuration needs its own procedure for safe and consistent data sanitization.  Over the past year, our storage engineering teams in Havant and Penang have […]
