Product Overview
‘Hive.AI by X2M’ is a SaaS platform providing single site and multi-site data aggregation and optimisation for renewable energy, commercial, industrial and datacentre operators using AI and automation to optimise operations. Hive.AI by X2M applies analytics and machine learning to solar forecasting, battery storage management, energy management and energy distribution within sites or precincts driving automated outcomes without human involvement
The Asia-Pacific renewable energy market is valued at US$491 billion, and Hive.AI is positioned to capture recurring software revenue as battery storage capacity scales across the region. Taiwan’s battery energy storage market alone is projected to grow from A$500M (2023) to A$1B (2026) to A$10B (2030). South Korea’s energy storage market is expected to grow at 29.6% per year, and Australia anticipates a 28% increase in battery storage capacity by 2032. The datacentre energy demand in Australia is forecast to grow massively with the active grid transmission queue for datacentres in Australia is 5.4GW according to AEMO. Targeting datacentre energy and cooling is a core goal for Hive.AI when used in multi-use and circular economy based precincts.
Actions may be across multiple sites or geographies where consistency is important to maintain efficiency. Individual behind the meter (BTM) commercial sites require onsite power management to reduce power bills and increase effectiveness of decision making.

How Hive.AI by X2M Works
1. Connect
Hive.AI integrates with your assets such as energy or cooling sensors, solar arrays, wind turbines, battery storage systems, load metering, weather data feeds and energy market platforms.
2. Aggregate
Data flows into Hive.AI’s centralised database, where it’s cleaned, organised and stored alongside historical records.
3. Analyse
AI and machine learning models can analyse the combined dataset to generate forecasts, identify patterns and find optimisation opportunities.
4. Act
Systems can act automatically or operators receive recommendations, automated alerts and dashboards covering usage, generation, storage and billing.
Hive.AI by X2M – Products
Portfolio
A cloud-based software platform for renewable energy operators with multiple sites. It gathers data from solar arrays, battery storage systems, weather feeds and energy markets into a single centralised data store, then applies AI and machine learning to produce forecasts and operational recommendations across generation, storage and trading.
The platform can be used for solar prediction, helping operators forecast generation reliably, optimise battery charge and discharge cycles and make better trading decisions. Hive.AI works for single-site operators and multi-site portfolios alike.
WattIQ
A customer bill analyser that evaluates the utility power tariff structure, the contractual tariff terms for the site and the historical usage from previous bills. It provides a report for the customer advising proposed changes to the tariff structure, battery or solar augmentation to reduce power bills without major disruption to the site loads and an ROI calculation for the added services. It confirms to the customer that there is money to be saved.
PeakGuard
A customer site metering analyser that evaluates the utility power tariff structure, the contractual tariff terms for the site and the current load performance. It provides reports and alerts for the customer advising recommended actions to be taken on the site load in the current period to avoid demand related charges thus seeking to ensure power bills remain within desired parameters.
Smart Precinct
A product to manage the precinct resources, billing, operation as well as managing the data centre environmental operation which will generate significant savings in resources and operational costs. Reduce the impact of data centre electricity and water demands as well as providing other multi-use benefits. Managing the data centre hot and cold aisles, controlling the cooling and waste heat usage, alerting on critical failures impacting data centre processing.
