Circular Tech
HOW TO PROCESS AND REFURBISH THOUSANDS OF DEVICES UP TO 7 TIMES FASTER
Read our full guide on how to build smarter workflows and maximise device throughput
Circular tech facilities process thousands of used devices daily — testing, erasing, and preparing them for resale or recycling. Slow charge cycles, unreliable hardware and inefficient workflows can quickly reduce throughput and margin. At Cambrionix, we understand the challenges circular tech facilities face daily and we suggest solutions to overcome those difficulties and scale the operations.
Circular Tech use cases
- Trade‑in and return programmes collect millions of smartphones, tablets, and laptops every week
- Repair and recycling facilities need to process and resell these devices into the secondary market quickly
- Incoming devices must be sorted by type, brand, and condition, and logged into asset management systems
- Devices need to go through diagnostics, secure data erasure, updates, configuration, and testing
- Before testing, fully discharged devices must be charged, which can be time‑consuming
- Device battery health should be maintained through controlled charging and power cycling
- Many used devices also require firmware updates and complete OS reinstallation.
Challenges in the industry
- Completely flat devices require charging for long periods before processing
- USB endpoint limitations on standard hubs prevent scaling to the required device volumes
- Slow data transfer speeds lengthen provisioning, erasure, and restore cycles
- Alternative USB hub users experience a high failure rate and lots of downtime
- Wasted electricity/time and damage to device batteries from charging to 100% unnecessarily
- Manual oversight is needed to monitor multiple hubs and devices without centralised control
- Inability to run mixed-platform workflows (Apple, Android, Windows) from the same hub setup
- No per-port monitoring to identify and troubleshoot underperforming devices quickly.
Build smart and scalable workflows with intelligent USB hubs
At Cambrionix, we create fast, reliable and intelligent USB solutions to support the industry transition. Due to the innovative way we've used Thunderbolt technology our ThunderSync hubs enable fast and secure data erasure, testing, and refurbishment.
-
Charge and sync in parallel
Connect up to 16 devices to a single unit. Restore all connected devices simultaneously while keeping them powered, and avoid failures.
-
High-speed data transfer
Cambrionix hubs deliver a guaranteed minimum of 1 Gbps and up to 5 Gbps per port, and are up to 7x faster than traditional USB hubs.
-
Intelligent charging system
With up to 60W power output per port, our hubs charge up to 4x faster than alternatives. Intelligent system keeps devices powered, avoids overcharging and battery damage.
-
Less device dropouts
Cambrionix hubs overcome USB endpoint limitations and eliminate failures due to the innovative way we used Thunderbolt technology.
-
Device-agnostic compatibility
The hubs are agnostic and works with both Android and Apple. They're also compatible with Macs, Windows, and Linux systems.
-
Daisy chain hubs
Connect up to 6 hubs in chain and process up to 96 devices in parallel while maintaining effective performance.
Process more devices per day and minimise downtime
Connect and control hundreds of devices from a single point
Avoid device overcharging and battery damage
Scale operations and increase profit
Reduce labour cost and energy waste
Achieve a bigger positive environmental impact
We’re trusted by
Leaders in mass mobile device refurbishment like circular tech facilities, reverse logistics, IT Asset Disposition centres and more.
"With Cambrionix hubs, our restore times dropped by more than half, from over 30 minutes to just 13–15 minutes per batch of 16 devices. Even more impressive, our failure rate dropped greatly. When using our previous hub from another manufacturer, we had 4–5 failures per batch, requiring us to restore them on a different station. Since switching to Cambrionix, that issue has gone. It’s made our process far more efficient and reliable."
