HIVE

HIVE installs a software and sensor module it calls the "silicon brain" into industrial machines a customer already owns, then coordinates those machines as one fleet. The website lists excavators, wheel loaders, forklifts and haulers as target machine types, and describes the system as learning from each shift it runs.

The website names customers and deployments including Yara at its Herøya facility, a global 3PL warehouse-to-yard operation, the Norwegian Road Authority (Presis Vegdrift) on Vikafjellet, and Veidekke in construction. It also cites a collaboration with Volvo Maskin. The website does not state pricing or revenue model details.

HIVE says it was founded in Norway and lists offices in Kristiansand, Norway and London, United Kingdom, with hiring in Texas (Austin is listed as a job location). The website reports a $15M seed round. Open roles cover sales, legal, deployment and field operations, and engineering in embedded software, robotics, and vehicle and electrical integration.

Product: AI control module ("silicon brain") retrofitted to existing industrial machines, coordinating a fleet as one autonomous system.
