Taking Rote Work Out of CPE Testing

In Bydgoszcz, more than 250 testers sit along a conveyor-fed test line and run CPE tests automatically. Yet a technician still has to place every device in a tester, plug it in, and pull it out again afterward. We’ve now set up the first robotic cell built to take over that work.      As […]

Building the Foundation for Receiving Automation at Reconext Reynosa

Reconext has a strong appetite for automation. Over the past year, that has included automated product intake, AI-assisted sticker and label removal, automated cosmetic grading, automated laptop cleaning and automated data erasure.  Each of those systems depends on the same thing: a process that is clear, consistent and primed to scale.  That principle is now shaping a major transformation of receiving operations at Reconext Reynosa.  […]

Turning Site-Level Improvements Into Network Capability

A good process improvement should not stay local. One of the advantages of Reconext’s operating footprint is that teams across our 22 global sites can develop and test improvements at the same time, then share what works across the network.  When one facility has already solved a problem, another doesn’t have to start from scratch.  That means our teams document more than […]

How to Plan and Execute a Data Center Shutdown Safely

Taking a live data center offline introduces risk before any maintenance or infrastructure work begins. Once systems start going offline, the margin for error narrows and the ability to recover depends on decisions made before shutdown. An overlooked dependency can extend an outage beyond its intended scope. An unvalidated recovery plan can leave critical systems […]

Growing Together with Aurora: From Pilot Programs to 150+ SLAs Monitored Every Day

When we introduced Aurora earlier this year, we focused on what she could do. Since then, the most valuable work has gone into depth, defining the service level targets for each program so Aurora measures every customer by the standards that program is actually held to.  Three things have changed since launch. Aurora knows each program in far more detail, she runs […]

Extending Coverage: Platform Updates Across the Reconext Network

A proven platform is worth more the further it reaches. Four of our purpose-built hardware and agentic solutions are extending their coverage right now, whether that means more sites, improved process, or upgraded hardware.    Atheris   Atheris, our automated label removal platform, is now running at Grapevine, Texas alongside existing installations. Improvements have come directly out of production use.  The peeling blade is now manufactured […]

How to Make Your IT Asset Tracking System Audit-Ready

Having an IT asset inventory is a good start, but it does not guarantee audit readiness. Many organizations can produce a list of devices, yet struggle to prove that those records accurately reflect their current IT stack.  During an audit, reviewers need evidence that assets exist, ownership information is correct, custody changes are documented, and […]

Automated Device Initialization: Removing the Prep Bottleneck in Mobile Refurbishment

  Innovation at Reconext begins with observation. The steps that draw the least attention often hold the largest gains, and preparing returned devices for testing is a clear example.  Every returned device has to be charged, erased, and brought up to current software before testing can begin. Done one at a time, that work sets the pace for everything behind […]
