Sorting Robotics

Sorting Robotics automates cannabis production with specialized robotic systems for infused pre-rolls, kief coating, and hash hole infusion. Their solutions aim to boost throughput, reduce labor, and maintain craft-level quality for cannabis brands.

The company offers automated systems designed for cannabis manufacturing, including Stardust automated kief coating pre-rolls, Jiko automated infused pre-rolls, and Jiko+ for high-viscosity concentrates. Stardust coats joints with programmable, real-time production tracking and customizable recipes to apply powders (kief, bubble hash, THCa diamonds) evenly. Jiko infuses joints at scale with precision dosing and real-time throughput tracking. Jiko+ handles thick concentrates, enabling high-precision dosing, heat control, and placement consistency. All systems are described as plug-and-play, compatible with various SKU formats (cones, tubes, blunts), and designed to scale production while providing real-time performance insights.

Who it’s for: Cannabis brands and manufacturers (infused pre-rolls, premium SKUs) seeking scalable automated production, high consistency, and real-time production tracking.
