Another major industrial deployment for our portfolio company HIVE Autonomy.

HIVE is now live at Feiring Bruk in Hadeland, where its machine intelligence has been deployed on an existing Volvo L180H wheel loader operating in an active quarry.

The machine is already carrying out production work, including blending material and clearing material away from the crusher, with the operation supervised remotely.

01Autonomy on machines already in operation

Rather than replacing existing machinery, HIVE brings autonomy to machines already in operation. Its technology is designed around supervised autonomy, keeping humans in the loop while allowing operators to oversee machines remotely and take on other tasks across the site.

02Another name on the list

Feiring adds another strong industrial name to HIVE’s growing list of real-world deployments.

Congratulations to the HIVE team on another important deployment.
