HOTIC d.o.o.

HOTIC is a mining automation startup founded in October 2024, developing AI-driven retrofitting solutions that transform traditional heavy machinery into intelligent, autonomous equipment. Their core innovation integrates proprietary AI modules—“AI Workers”—with a centralized Hive-Mind Digital Twin Platform, enabling real-time remote operation, predictive maintenance, and optimized resource efficiency. HOTIC’s approach reduces capital expenditure by upgrading existing machinery rather than replacing it, while improving safety, lowering operational costs by up to 15%, and supporting sustainability goals. Currently at Technology Readiness Level 4, HOTIC aims to validate its solutions in live mining environments by early 2026 and expand into other heavy industries.
