THE NEW STANDARD FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Whether for a multinational consumer goods manufacturer or an independent neighbourhood bakery, experimentation is a challenging but essential part of most R&D projects.

Exhive is a platform designed to streamline and augment product development endeavours. Equally beneficial for seasoned Product Developers and the ones just diving into the world of R&D, Exhive’s generative AI platform empowers individuals and teams to achieve goals with unparalleled efficiency and success.

FASTER GO-TO-MARKET TIMES

When competing with unassisted R&D teams pursuing the same goal in a number of experiments, teams using Exhive significantly outperform unassisted humans 100% of the time.

NEW INNOVATION

The platform explores much wider than humans alone ever could. In open-ended exploratory tasks - such as exploring the best combination of flavours - the platform has produced successful combinations that were highly unexpected even by the most skilled specialists - in a positive sense.

SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS

Sequentially preparing and testing prototypes allows smarter prototype selection than conventional methods. This, coupled with the ability to define multiple objectives for a single experiment, 10x’s the efficiency of experimentation.

Exhive’s easy-to-use interface allows humans to do R&D in tandem with machine learning without any computer science expertise. While the algorithms are capable of considering all past experiments, ingredient interdependencies and other vast quantities of information, product developers stay in control through setting limits, targets and giving feedback to the algorithms.

A failed experiment is not a wasted experiment anymore

Set up and track your experiments including limits, ingredients, process steps, measures, targets and sensory attributes.


Never repeat the same mistake twice

Run multiple R&D initiatives while sharing data and learnings among them

Your data stays private

Exhive is built for small amounts of data and closed environments so your R&D data stays with you



No detail goes unnoticed

Use evaluation tools to record experimental results and provide feedback to machine learning models

"Even as a product developer with more than 20 years of experience, it is always a challenge to balance the scientific desire to explore all possible variables with the business need to move quickly, especially at a start-up. The Exhive platform is a tool that can help me achieve both by creating a thorough and efficient experimental design.

While I have previously only been able to explore 2-5 variables over a handful of levels for any given experimental design, this platform allows me to evaluate as many variables as the project requires over a very small number of samples, allowing me to achieve my goals quickly and efficiently while still keeping cost and nutrition in mind.”
