Autonomous Solutions Inc. (ASI), a vehicle and equipment automation company based in Mendon, Cache County, has sold its business unit, ASI Mining, to Epiroc, a Swedish company that manufactures equipment for the mining and construction industries. Epiroc previously held a 34 percent stake ASI Mining.
ASI said the move frees the company to focus on expanding its logistics, agriculture, landscaping, construction and automotive testing product lines. CEO Mel Torrie credited his employee teams for the company’s successful transition to mass production of automation kits and the expansion of their Mobius autonomous vehicle software.
“The exceptional work of the people at ASI and Epiroc made this transaction possible,” said Torrie. “OEM agnostic automation kits for multiple brands of trucks were transitioned into mass production and ASI’s Mobius command and control software was expanded to optimize large numbers of automated vehicles around-the-clock from hundreds of miles away.”
