Humara Design & Operate

Humara is a Galicia-based software company, founded in 2021, that sells simulation-driven software for designing and operating waste management and recycling plants. It addresses the slow, spreadsheet and CAD based design process used by plant engineers and waste operators.

Humara Design lets engineers define feedstock composition, processing targets and regulatory constraints, simulate mass flows, size equipment and compare scenarios in real time. Humara Operate turns plant models into an operations tool built around Duplantis, an AI copilot that connects to SCADA signals to give predictions and recommendations. Clients named on the site include Veolia, FCC Medio Ambiente, PreZero and Ecoembes.

• Feedstock definition: set composition, processing targets and regulatory constraints.
• Mass-flow simulation: simulate flows, size equipment and compare scenarios in real time.
• Design exports: export BOMs, technical specs and 3D layouts.
• Custom equipment databases: use an operator's own equipment data.
• Humara Operate: operations tool for live plant monitoring.
• Duplantis copilot: AI assistant linked to SCADA signals for predictions and recommendations.

Designing a municipal solid waste sorting plant for a Vietnamese city and comparing equipment layouts before tender. Optimising an existing packaging recycling line with live SCADA data. Engineering firms preparing proposals for waste-to-resource projects.

The site reports up to 70% lower engineering cost and 15% average CapEx savings, and design in days rather than months. Scenario comparison supports investment decisions before construction. Exported bills of materials, specs and 3D layouts ease handoff to construction.

Recycling and waste-to-resource targets are driving new sorting and treatment plants, and operators need faster design and better use of plant data. In Vietnam, extended producer responsibility rules and growing urban waste volumes are increasing demand for modern recycling facilities.

Founded in 2021 in Galicia, Spain. EUR 1.2 million seed round announced in May 2026, led by Impact Shakers with Inclimo, Zubi Capital and Ship2B Ventures.
