Where advanced digital technologies meet real-world assets

We engineer tailored industrial IoT solutions for sectors such as utilities, environment, and natural resources. We transform data from machines, sensors, and cameras into actionable insights with AI-powered analytics, machine learning, and computer vision — delivering intelligence that drives smarter, faster, and more sustainable decisions.

Project examples

Here are examples of how we turn complex industrial challenges into reliable, data-driven solutions, built in close collaboration with our clients.

Smarter Logistics Through Computer Vision

We developed and trained AI-based visual recognition models for a leading Swiss quarry to analyze truck loads in real time. Using strategically placed cameras, the system detects trucks, identifies transported materials and cleanliness of empty vehicles, and delivers insights through a standardized API. This translates into immediate alerts on wrong materials, fewer billing errors, optimized routing, and full transparency on material flows.

SmartG: A Unified Platform for Smarter Logistics

We have created and now maintain SmartG, a unified digital platform that streamlines the intense flow of trucks at GESA’s aggregate site. By integrating data from scanners, cameras, weighbridges, and legacy systems, SmartG delivers real-time insights through big data and advanced analytics, providing faster operations, automated load validation, proactive monitoring, and accurate billing, all in one flexible, continuously evolving platform.

VibeMaster: From vibration data to predictive insights

We are developing VibeMaster for utilities and quarry operators, a project that combines vibration monitoring with machine data analysis to detect wear and failures at an early stage. By equipping pumps, motors, and conveyors with wireless sensors and IIoT gateways, and analyzing data in real time with AI, VibeMaster delivers actionable insights that reduce downtime, optimize maintenance, and extend asset lifetime.

Secure Remote Access and Machine Data Collection

We deploy secure remote access projects for industrial machines, enabling safe connectivity and machine data collection. Built on ei³ technology, these solutions reduce downtime, speed up interventions, and create a solid foundation for data-driven operations.

OUR SERVICES

Our services are guided by three core values:

InnovationWe harness the potential of digital technologies by testing and validating new tools and approaches in collaboration with trusted partners. Only the solutions that combine performance, flexibility, and real business value are integrated into our offerings.

RigorWe apply proven engineering practices and robust methodologies to build systems that are reliable, scalable, and sustainable. Modular architectures and modern DevOps methods ensure teamwork, knowledge sharing, and long-term resilience.

PragmatismWe stay close to customer needs, focusing on practical, incremental, and iterative solutions. Rather than building "technology for technology's sake," we validate requirements with our clients and deliver exactly what they need, in the form that best serves their operations.

We design, and train advanced computer vision models to analyze both still images and real-time video streams. Beyond model development, we build and maintain the AI infrastructure required to run these models reliably in production, delivering actionable results aligned with our clients’ operational needs. Our platforms can be deployed flexibly, either on customer-owned infrastructure (on-premises, edge devices, or private cloud) or fully hosted and managed by us. They integrate seamlessly with industrial environments, supporting low-latency inference, secure data handling, and scalable performance. We draw on a wide ecosystem of technologies, from NVIDIA’s DeepStream and TensorRT for optimized video processing, to PyTorch and frameworks such as YOLO for rapid prototyping and training. By combining these with robust MLOps practices, we ensure that visual recognition solutions remain accurate, maintainable, and continuously improved over time.

Use Cases

Real-time visual recognition of truck load photos to classify materials in aggregate production

Mobile gates equipped with edge devices and cameras that enable decentralized video analysis of truck flows

AI-driven real-time analysis of waste streams on conveyor belts to detect foreign objects

Industrial equipment such as pumps, motors, and conveyor belts continuously emit vibration signals that carry valuable information about their condition. The challenge lies in extracting meaning from these signals: large volumes of data, high noise levels, and complex patterns make interpretation difficult. At BlueHive, we develop systems that monitor vibration sensors in real time, detect relevant trends and anomalies, and transform raw signals into actionable insights. To achieve this, we combine in-house expertise with advanced platforms such as Viking Analytics’ MultiViz, and collaborate with leading academic partners to ensure robust, state-of-the-art solutions.

Use Cases

Vibration monitoring of wastewater pumps to assess wear level and estimate remaining useful life

Predictive maintenance through vibration monitoring and analysis of raw aggregate washing equipment

We provide secure, reliable access to industrial equipment while collecting and managing valuable machine data. Built on the trusted ei³ technology platform, our solutions enable remote service teams, operators, and technology partners to connect safely to assets in the field, without compromising IT security. Beyond secure access, our systems offer powerful capabilities for data collection, performance monitoring, and customized reporting. Operators can visualize equipment health and production KPIs through intuitive dashboards, while automated reports are tailored to client requirements. This not only accelerates troubleshooting and reduces downtime but also creates a solid foundation for advanced analytics and integration with enterprise systems.

Use Cases

Secure, compliant, and auditable remote access to machines, enabling efficient maintenance and reduced service costs

Implementation of near-real-time dashboards turning machine data into clear insights on production performance
