Tusen

A machine is seven disciplines at once.

Code runs on electronics, electronics drive motors, motors move steel, and the law decides whether the machine may be sold. Projects stall at the handovers between specialists. Tusen coordinates the project and designs the software and controls, electronics and electrical power, and the software factory keeps one record across all seven, so nothing is lost between Tusen and the engineers who own the rest.

A robot that washes concrete walls.

A design for an automated washer for precast concrete wall elements up to 4 by 10 metres. A mast runs on a floor rail, the spray head steps in and out from the face, and the controller reads each element's openings from a file and skips the windows.

• Mechanical: rail, mast and carriage by the project's mechanical engineer, checked by calculation and FEA
• Electrical: cabinet, drives and safety circuit, in twelve drawings
• Software: a tested path planner that writes the machine's G-code
• Safety: designed to EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 60204-1

The design is with the client for decision. Nothing has been built yet.

Blasting and painting, by the drawing.

Much of the blasting, painting and washing of large steel parts is still done by hand. Tusen designs the controls and software for cells that read each part from its drawing and move the gun or nozzle along it, the same pattern as the concrete washer.

• Beams, tanks, frames and other large parts
• Paths generated from the part's drawing
• Designed for the manufacturer's CE route under the Machinery Regulation

Wall elements, nailed from the CAD file.

Timber wall and roof elements, modular houses and windows still take a lot of hand work. Tusen designs the controls and software for nailing and stapling bridges, drilling and marking stations, and inspection, all driven by the element's CAD file.

• Openings and studs read from the drawing
• Nailing, stapling, drilling and marking
• Built and signed by the manufacturer named in the contract

Electronics and test rigs for the machines you sell.

Makers of pumps, hydraulics, lifting gear and farm machinery need control boards, firmware and end-of-line test stations. Tusen designs them; the design is licensed to you, and its files can be deposited in escrow.

• Control electronics and firmware for your product
• Test stations that check each unit and write the report
• Controls, software and electronics as a subcontractor

Hull work from a mast, not a lift.

Yards wash, blast and paint hulls and large parts from lifts and scaffolding. Tusen designs the controls and software for rail- and mast-mounted tools for that work, built by the yard or a machine builder.

• Washing, blasting and painting of hulls and parts
• Paths planned from the hull's shape
• Controls and software subcontracting

Power and equipment, in a container.

Some equipment is best built, tested and moved as one finished unit. Tusen designs the electrics, controls and monitoring of containerised modules: shore power for ships at berth, battery and power-conversion containers, local equipment rooms, and test containers.

• Shore power with frequency conversion for 50 Hz and 60 Hz ships
• Battery and power-conversion containers
• Local equipment rooms (LER) and test containers
• Control, protection and monitoring electronics
• Built and delivered as finished units by the manufacturer named in the contract

Installation on the quay or site and the connection to the grid are done by a registered electrical contractor.

Charging at the quay.

Public ferry contracts have required zero emission since January 2025, so every electric ferry needs power at the quay. Tusen designs the controls and electronics of automatic plug-in arms and battery containers, and the charging control that hands power to the ship.

• Automatic plug-in arms
• Battery containers that buffer a weak grid
• Charging control and monitoring

Installation on site and the connection to the grid are done by a registered electrical contractor.

Feed barges off diesel.

Fish farms are moving feed barges from diesel generators to shore cable and batteries. Tusen designs the electrics and controls of battery and power-conversion containers, and the energy-management electronics that run a barge on them.

• Battery and power-conversion containers
• Generator, battery and shore-cable control
• Remote monitoring of the barge's power

Installation on site and the connection to the grid are done by a registered electrical contractor.

Site power in a container.

Oslo has required emission-free machines on its own building projects since 2025, and electric cranes and diggers need power where the grid connection is too small or not there yet. Tusen designs the electrics and controls of battery and site-power containers, and the electronics that share power between the machines.

• Battery and power-distribution containers
• Load sharing between cranes, diggers and chargers
• Moved from site to site as one unit

Installation on site and the connection to the grid are done by a registered electrical contractor.

Drafted by agents. Signed by an engineer.

AI agents plan the work, draft code, calculations and documents in parallel, and test them before anyone reviews them. That is how one engineer delivers what used to take a team.

• Every step leaves a record you can read
• Tests and checks run before review, not after
• Nothing leaves until a named engineer signs it

When code is cheap, review is the bottleneck.

A free method for building software with AI assistants. Every feature is explained three ways, for the domain expert, the architect and the engineer, and all three sign off.

A seat belt for AI-written git.

It pauses force-pushes and history rewrites, whoever typed them, and shows you the safer alternative first. The record stays on your own disk.

Eleven agents gather. One engineer signs.

Tooling that assembles the evidence an IEC 61508 certification needs. Models propose, a deterministic checker scores, and a named engineer approves.

Tusen AS is not an accredited assessor, and the tooling does not certify anything.

Stopped before it is sent.

For companies that run on projects: a gate that stops a purchase order, drawing or relay setting that contradicts its design basis, before it reaches a supplier.

Rogaland first. Then the whole coast.

This map is drawn from ClusterAlpha, Tusen's own map of Norway's registered organisations and the infrastructure they run on: the power grid, rail, ferries, ports, and the fields and pipelines offshore. It is how Tusen finds the companies and projects that need engineering.
