Wheel-loader autonomy
for Copper One, ready
when you scale to Lone Wolf.
Supervised physical AI on your Volvo loaders, starting with the re-handling cycle you suggested on the 7 May call. We earn the Lone Wolf fleet by showing you the numbers along the way.
02 · OPERATIONAL MODEL
An operating model built around how you actually run a pit.
The retrofit kit is the easy part. What separates us is everything wrapped around it — the ops center watching the machine, the contract that guarantees uptime, and the OEM partnership that makes the equipment easy to source.
An ops center watching the machine, around the clock.
Kristiansand supervises every Hive machine in operation today. Houston stands up this year, working alongside one of the largest energy operators in Texas, so the Americas runs on its own clock.
The 100 percent uptime guarantee runs through this center. It's the part of the model most autonomy vendors can't justify to their investors.
Immediate ROI, with uptime guaranteed in writing.
You pay 80 percent of what an operator costs you today, and you get 100 percent uptime in the contract. The 20 percent saving lands from the first shift. When the AI hits something it can't handle, our supervising operator takes over the machine until it's back in autonomous mode.
The technology risk stays with us. The same numbers you read here go in the term sheet.
One of three vendors Volvo is evaluating for global autonomy.
Hive is one of three vendors Volvo is evaluating for their global autonomy program, and we're already co-developing the wheel-loader integration with their engineering team. The goal: any Volvo dealer in North America can quote Hive on a loader, with OEM-backed warranty and service in the same contract.
A. you own the loader, we retrofit. B. bundled rental, loader plus autonomy plus supervised ops in one contract. C. you buy, lease the autonomy.
03 · OEM FLEXIBILITY
Today Volvo. Tomorrow whichever OEM you choose.
Hive is platform-first. Volvo is the production-ready first OEM. Komatsu and Hitachi are in active dialogue. The question is which to prioritise next, not whether we can do it.
In the Nordics we've seen this first-hand: dealer networks are accessible, OEMs are willing partners, and integration timelines are weeks once an OEM is committed. For us this is a capacity-allocation question — where we put engineering capacity first.
If Lone Wolf lands on a different brand than Copper One, we'll be on that platform. Tell us what you're buying, and we'll prioritise.
04 · HOW WE RUN SAFELY
Safer than today is the bar. Everything else hangs on it.
The questions a serious operator asks before letting a vendor near a machine. We answer the safety case in depth, then run through mining, network, and on-site support.
05 · VENDOR SCORECARD
Six questions to ask every wheel-loader vendor.
We've been on the buyer's side of an autonomy evaluation, and these are the questions that separated vendors who could actually run a site from vendors who could run a demo. Ask us first, then send them to the others.
06 · LIVE TODAY
Four live sites — the safety, network, and cycle case for Copper One.
07 · NEXT MOVES
Three moves to put a real proposal in front of you.
Sixty-minute technical deep-dive with our engineering team.
We walk this deck, run the network audit assumptions live with your IT, and scope the re-handling pilot end to end.
Draft term sheet for the Copper One re-handling phase.
Commercial frame for the first cycle, with a defined bridge clause into Lone Wolf. Signed before we put hands on a machine.
Houston ops tour, and a Hive team on the ground at Copper One.
You see the operating model in person before the Lone Wolf vendor decision. We scope the first retrofit window on your pit.
