Autorient AS is a Norwegian high-tech start-up by a team of five individuals coming from the well-known Norwegian company SensoNor. SensoNor is mainly known as a pioneering and successful company within solid-state semiconductor sensors (MEMS) for the automotive and the avionics industry. Together this team has more than 150 years with experience within MEMS inertia- and pressure sensors and long wave IR imaging chips, ASICs and microelectronics and sensor control systems, for numerous of applications where MEMS replaces old technology and makes previous impossible missions to become possible. In the same way as the human senses are the absolute recourses for the “man”, sensors are the absolute means for machines and operations to become autonomous.

Operational from medio 2016 Autorient focus to establish a wide selection of standard products for professional OEM customers within the positioning and control of autonomous- and semi-autonomous systems and operations. Autorient’s products will all include unique proprietary MEMS sensors with capabilities not offered in the open component market. Such capabilities are needed due to the many regulations, high accuracy and agility for centimetre and millimetre operations, and the security and safety often involved within these emerging applications. IoT and AI will be fundamental generic characteristics of our products and in that context support multi-task and multi-unit operations, online and linked capabilities and related self-learning algorithms required by any future autonomous machine and operation.

The key for any success within the future industrial market is the understanding of the rise of the autonomous economy; the forth industrial revolution. The autonomous revolution involves a) gather data b) process the data c) act based on the refined data d) receive feedback data and learn from the results. In a simple way it can be said to involve the “brain to machine” transfer. Industrial products within this forth revolution is all sorts of applications where today the human brain is involved doing “work”. The three first industrial revolutions were: 1) 1750-1850 “hand to machine” 2) 1870-1914 “the technological revolution” 3) 1950-2010 “the digital revolution”.

After the start-up phase developing our first MEMS gyro sensor and establishing the architecture, concepts, software- and hardware-platforms including key components for our system products, Autorient AS are now ready to execute the industrialization and first commercialization phase.
